Monetizing is probably the most diverse of the Mequoda Method pillars because there are so many different ways to monetize. You have one or more subscription products, magazines, newsletters, advisory services, video training programs, libraries or database of information on a particular topic, recipes or projects. Subscribers ride with you in a very predictable way. You’re taking relatively small checks from a lot of people, typically tens or even hundreds of thousands, and it usually is the most profitable because of the continuity of that relationship – the average subscriber is probably going to stay with you between two and a half and three years.
The key to monetization is recognizing what you did in the legacy world, adapting that to digital world, and doing as good as you can with it while keeping an eye toward new areas of monetization that weren’t possible before.
On the sponsorship side of things, that world is also opening up a little bit. Our clients who are special interest publishers are seeing growing success with native advertising as they try to get themselves out of the messy type of programmatic advertising and into the school of thought where they say “Let’s find advertisers that are completely endemic to our audience and offer them programs that are more content-oriented.” And they’re seeing a lot of success with that.
