The danger of the wall « BuzzMachine - 1 views

  • charging brings many costs: • It creates the expense of marketing (when, online, your audience will market you for free, if you deserve it). • It reduces audience. • It reduces advertising revenue. • It reduces links and clicks, which reduces Googlejuice, which reduces discovery, which limits growth.
  • But more than any of this, pay walls curtail a news organization’s relationship with its public, with its customers. On the internet, it’s in those relationships where value lies.
