Paywalls are everywhere, thanks to creators’ pushing for monetization and offers of exclusivity to their consumers. How do you know when it's the right time to implement a paywall or which type of paywall to use? 

Consider the following: 
✔️ What is your goal? Improving revenue? Foster content quality? Each goal requires a different paywall model. 
✔️ Who is your competition? 
✔️ Are you adding enough value? A paywall might change your revenue generation if your value can't be competed with. 
✔️ Your audience demographic - knowing your audience helps to determine the price to charge and what type of content you deliver. 
✔️ Reader acquisition channels - does a paywall make sense as part of your acquisition strategy?

CFOs need to strike a balance between staying agile in the short-term while setting a long-term strategy and sticking to it. As such, CFOs want to know what to expect from the future so that they can prepare without having to constantly pivot.

To be able to do so, they need to build the best internal workflows to turn investment into revenue and evaluate how technology can clear a smoother revenue path ahead.

Our CFO, Todd McElhatton shares his thoughts on this with Global Banking & Finance Review. Read the article in the comments.
