If you’ve attended any of our events, or just read our blog regularly, you know that we live and breathe the Mequoda Method.
Mequoda didn’t invent this method, we’ve simply been watching the publishing industry for a very long time and have organized the successful strategies of publishers who have developed it by instinct. We’ve turned these strategies into a finely-tuned system that we teach at our events and build for our publishing clients.
We have more than 50 live websites using the Mequoda System that we monitor, and are aware of dozens more that use all or some of our best practices. We also run our own Mequoda System, even though we’re consultants selling services, not publishers selling information products.
In a Mequoda System, the structure of the websites we’ve built for our clients with great success and profitability include these four main principles:
- Attract
- Convert
- Engage
- Monetize
We see all four as discreet strategies that are all completely interlocked.
Starting from the layer with the most visibility, we attract website visitors through search, then, a smaller number of those who we attract will convert into email subscribers. We will then engage a smaller number of those converted subscribers with great content in order to keep them happy, and then make money doing so by monetizing the relationship and turning those engaged email subscribers into buyers. This is the smallest number of people, however, is fueled by the layers before it.
We first published an introduction to the Mequoda Method in 2006 and we’ve expanded and contracted the number of strategies, but these four principles (attract, convert, engage, monetize) have stayed consistent throughout.
Just as you need to constantly review and revaluate your media empire’s business model, we continually revisit the Mequoda Method and build Systems accordingly.
