Premium Publishers – Are You Looking for Revenue?

Great article last week in Semafor about Apple News+ “As clicks dry up for news sites, could Apple’s news app be a lifeline?” With Google SERP changes and Social Networks sending less traffic, publishers need to rely on syndication more than ever. 

Semafor notes the Daily Beast is “on track to make between $3-4 million in revenue this year from Apple News alone — more than its own standalone subscription program.” The article goes on to describe more jaw dropping success stories from SimpleFeed customers.

With hundreds subscription magazines and newspapers, News+ is Apple’s $13 a month subscription news product. It is also included with Apple One, Apple’s “everything” bundle (iCloud storage, TV, Music, Arcade, Fitness, etc.). I have had it since launch and use it daily to read the WSJ, local news and The Athletic. It is family sharable enabling me to bombard my kids with articles I think they should be reading!
