Challenges when selling content
Challenges with platforms
| Challenges | Problems | |
|---|---|---|
| Content | User flow breaks when paid content is delivered through external sites | Content value falls and bounce rate rises when everything isn’t on one site |
| Audience acquisition | Web marketing tools like Google Analytics cannot be used | With fewer analytics options, advertising and content optimization are harder |
| SEO | Affected by other content within the platform | If the platform’s SEO rank drops, your sales also fall |
| Management | The more external platforms used, the more management accounts are needed… | You must manage both the accounts and all content registered to them |
Challenges on your own site
| Challenges | Problems | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Need to build membership authentication and payment systems | Implementation requires huge time and cost |
| Security | Must handle personal data | Data leaks cause severe damage |
| Support | Must answer questions and handle improvement requests from customers | Slow response can escalate to complaints |
| Ease of use | Must provide an environment where content is easy to view | If payment or operation is hard, satisfaction and revenue drop |
