Have Opted for the Paywall Approach. Wellknown Blogger Andrew Sullivan Left the Daily Dish and Went Solo Offering Readers a Subscription Based Website. Was This a Big Risk Could Sullivan Really Make Subscription Content Pay When the Wellresourced Daily Failed Sullivan Did K in Hours. Basically Weve Gotten a Third of a Million Dollars in Hours With Close to Paid Subscribers at Last Count Sullivan Wrote Today. On Average Readers Paid Almost More Than We Asked for. To Say Were Thrilled Would Obscure the Depth of Our Gratitude and Relief. Sullivan Doesnt Have the Overhead of the Daily So His Breakeven Point is Significantly Lower.
It Looks Like Sullivan May Have Hit on a Model That Works for Him. the Magazine Run by Marco Arment Started as an Ios Newstand Publication for Geeks. Arment Was Known to His Audience as He Was the Lead Developer on Tumblr and and Developer of Instapaper. The Magazine Italy Telegram Number Data Publishes Four Articles Every Two Weeks for . Per Month With a Day Free Trial. It Started Off as an App for the Ipad but Has Since Migrated to the Web but Behind a Paywall. Theres Room for Another Category Between Individuals and Major Publishers and Thats Where the Magazine Sits. Its a Multiauthor Truly Modern Digital.
Magazine That Can Appeal to an Audience Bigger Than a Niche but Smaller Than the Readership of the New York Times. This is What a Modern Magazine Can Be Not a Mb Stack of Static Page Images Laid Out Manually by People. The Magazine Supports Writers in the Most Basic Conventional Way That in the Modern Web Context Actually Seems Least Conventional and Riskiest by Paying Them to Write. Since Im Keeping Production Costs Low Im Able to Pay Writers Reasonably Today and Very Competitively With Highend Print Magazines in the Future if the Magazine Gets Enough Subscribers. A Risk but Im Confident. Here Goes So.
