Electronic Media - Capitalization on High-Quality Content
In search of new ways of electronic content monetization a subscription-based service can be a good way to charge for portions of a web site including access to online archives as well as to other features like exclusive multimedia, audio, photo and video.
A subscription-based service can be planned to
- compensate a loss in print advertising revenue
- ensure the quality of information
- establish a future online business model for electronic media
Possible risks are that readers shift to free advertising-based sites, but charging only for a part of the site can minimize that risk.
Content sales are growing constantly in the US.
