The variety of digital distribution platforms allows them to reach every corner of the world with the content in live mode, as well as monetize successfully, for example, thanks to subscriptions. The strategy based on restricting access to the content allows increasing digital publications revenue and managing the offer of print and digital issues in the most profitable way.<\/h2>\n<p>The subscription business model is far from being a new invention. It was used by publishers of books and periodicals in the 17th century. It has been functioning in print for years, bringing publishers profits from selling regular access to the product. With the development of digital platforms, it has also appeared in the online sphere and has been adapted by many businesses and websites successively.<\/p>\n<p>The year of the rise of subscriptions in digital news was 2020. This way of monetization became a top revenue strategy for publishers of all sizes and everything indicates that this trend will be continued.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Let&#8217;s take a look at five interesting subscription models that were implemented by well-known publishers. How do they monetize their content?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Why is digital subscriptions&#8217; popularity growing?<\/h2>\n<p>Several factors have contributed to the significant increase in digital subscriptions recently:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The newspaper business model turned upside down when there was a decline in print advertising (and print publishing altogether). At the same time digital publications increased in number. Publishers had to find an effective monetization way in the digital environment.<\/li>\n<li>The disappointment caused by the ad revenue drop, and the uncertainty associated with addiction to technology giants pushed publishers towards monetization strategies like paid subscriptions. This model eliminates the middleman; publishers get the payment for their job and keep users&#8217; data, thanks to which readers get the content that fits their needs.<\/li>\n<li>People&#8217;s attitudes to paying for content on the internet were changed. We observe the increasing need for access to reliable information and the content we respect, especially in the time of Covid-19. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/whatsnewinpublishing.com\/300-growth-in-subscriptions-for-digital-news-and-media-time-for-publishers-to-reassess-their-business-models\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">What\u2019s New in Publishing<\/a>, the subscription growth rate for digital news and media subscriptions went up 3x because of the pandemic.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Digital newspapers subscriptions strategies<\/h2>\n<p>The subscription model which is appropriately tailored to the needs of readers is a win-win strategy that allows achieving both sides&#8217; goals. <strong>It&#8217;s possible when the customers receive value from the subscription.<\/strong> Only then will they be more likely to renew the subscription, and they&#8217;ll probably do it at an increased rate. The customers that don&#8217;t receive value, will return to the marketplace to look for different products that are better for them.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5691\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5691\" style=\"width: 878px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6450 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.presspadapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/What-factors-helped-lead-you-to-start-paying-for-digital-content_.png?resize=878%2C543&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"878\" height=\"543\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.presspadapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/What-factors-helped-lead-you-to-start-paying-for-digital-content_.png?w=878&amp;ssl=1 878w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.presspadapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/What-factors-helped-lead-you-to-start-paying-for-digital-content_.png?resize=300%2C186&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.presspadapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/What-factors-helped-lead-you-to-start-paying-for-digital-content_.png?resize=150%2C93&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 878px) 100vw, 878px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5691\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">News content and price are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.americanpressinstitute.org\/publications\/reports\/survey-research\/print-vs-digital\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">key factors leading digital users to pay<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>How do digital publishers benefit from the subscription model?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>They are provided with a consistent revenue stream for the duration of the subscriber&#8217;s agreement. It reduces uncertainty and the riskiness of the enterprise because subscribers need to pay in advance. Publishers can focus on optimizing for long-term customer lifetime value rather than on selling one-time single issues for relatively little money.<\/li>\n<li>The subscription strategy is a chance to maintain a long-term relationship with the readers in contrast to the one-time-purchase model. Readers get attached to using the service and they are more likely to extend it if its quality fulfills their needs.<\/li>\n<li>The subscription model allows the gathering of substantial amounts of information from the customer (which is irreplaceable while creating mailing lists and newsletters). A deeper analysis ensures the identification of both active and churned customers and offers insight into their real needs.<\/li>\n<li>Subscribers are the most engaged group of readers. They represent a strong group of potential customers for upselling and cross-selling other products or services.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Why are subscriptions great also for readers?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>The readers can find subscriptions convenient if they are sure that they will bring them value or help save money. In many cases, buying subscriptions also saves time.<\/li>\n<li>Being a subscriber gives you a possibility to read more content, to gain some &#8220;secret knowledge&#8221;, which results in a sense of belonging to a community.<\/li>\n<li>Subscription prices are usually designed to be lower than the price of a single product bought regularly.<\/li>\n<li>People can be tired of omnipresent advertising. Many publishers encourage readers to buy subscriptions by offering a total lack of advertising.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Subscriptions models in the real world of digital publishing<\/h2>\n<h3><mark>The New York Times record in digital subscriptions<\/mark><\/h3>\n<p>With more than 6m paying online readers, <a href=\"https:\/\/whatsnewinpublishing.com\/the-100k-club-most-popular-subscription-news-websites-in-the-world\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">The New York Times is the digital subscriptions leader<\/a>.
