The cost of doing business on the Web is
              INCREASING
Magazine publishers are asking
“WHAT IS AT THE END OF THE RAINBOW?”
Some days, it would be easier to just
pretend this “Web” thing DIDN’T EXIST
The reality is that the Web has done more
  for magazines than the printing press
The secret to online revenue is simple…
You must TRAIN to SUCEED.

3. Simple strategies are sustainable strategies
The realities haven’t changed much
:-(
First, the downside
…because CPM rates are static
…because CPM rates are static
…because CPM rates are static
… because the online ad industry is
         consolidating
… because the real-life numbers are
        surprisingly low
… because the real-life numbers are
        surprisingly low
Available inventory           100,000 views / impressions


Divided by 1000 (CPM)         100 units


Multiplied by your CPM rate   $10 - $30


Equals                        $1000 - 3000 / month




         … because the real-life numbers are
                 surprisingly low
:-)
But, there’s an upside
… because subscriber acquisition, and
     retention is less expensive
… because subscriber acquisition, and

     retention is less expensive
… because of expanded reach and potential
               audience
… because feedback is instant and the
      opportunity cost is low
;-)
And … there are success stories
… when you plan for a cost-neutral Web
             operation
… when you are purposeful with online
     marketing & promotions
… when you are purposeful with online
     marketing & promotions
… when you close the loop: going from offline
                to online

5 easy ways to grow your online revenue!
         (and other get rich quick schemes)




1. Slow and steady wins the day

2. The realities haven’t changed that much

3. Simple strategies are sustainable strategies
SIMPLICITY: ISN’T IS SIMPLE?




 Simple strategies are sustainable strategies
Strategy #1: Evolve your Web traffic
… by focusing on quality traffic, as well as quantity
… by giving away your content
… by using micro sites, blogs, and syndication (RSS)

Strategy #2: Grow your lists

…by keeping those subscribers

Strategy #3: And -- finally! -- social networks
        (Facebook, MySapce, etc.)
… because they’re Low-cost promotional vehicles, e.g.:
             events, new issues, etc.
… because Lots of “Web 2.0” and media tools are
                   baked-in
…because SNS = traffic. And traffic equals….?
…because SNS = traffic. And traffic equals….?
Will magazine publishers be able to finish
             the marathon?
The Web isn't going to go away
The opportunity is to move innovation from
          projects to operations
What does your training program look like?
