The most significant shift in digital media is how everyone has realized that subscriptions are essential to their future revenue. The days when advertising was the driving force behind publishers are long gone.
Lots of things need to change for publishers to be successful with online subscriptions, and I have talked about many of these changes in my other Plus reports. One thing that is dramatically different is how we talk about analytics.
The difference between measuring your performance for an unknown audience compared to a known audience is amazing. Because as soon as people subscribe, you also have the ability to track them as individuals. And this changes everything.
Not only do you realize that your existing metrics are very poor, (because those metrics don't work with subscribers) but you also realize that the way you measure things isn't designed to give you the answers that you need.
So, in this 32 page Plus report, we are going to take a deep dive into the amazing world of subscriber analytics. You will learn why they're so important, what metrics you should be looking at, and how to get insights from looking at each person rather than at your traffic as a whole.
As you already know, a new privacy regulation will come into effect in Europe called GDPR, and it makes a number of important changes in what you can do.
In short, the changes are simple. The data that you use has to be transparent and available for people to see. You can only use data that people have given consent to, which basically means that you can only use data that you have collected directly. Going out and buying audience profile data from data brokers is a big no. And finally, you are only allowed to collect data that is relevant and limited to what people are using your business for.
