Lower CPM rates and the looming spread of ad blocking technology have publishers looking beyond advertising alone as a strategy.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We&rsquo;re very cognizant of the need to (have) diverse revenue streams,&rdquo; LION member Tracey Taylor, of California&rsquo;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.berkeleyside.com\/\"><strong>Berkeleyside<\/strong><\/a>, said at a <strong>day-long symposium on the topic<\/strong> Wednesday at the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism in Manhattan.<\/p>\n<p>Memberships now represent about 20 percent of the six-year-old Berkleyside&rsquo;s revenue.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Our readers are incredibly connected to us as it is. We have hundreds of interactions with our readers across our platforms every day &hellip; They are very invested in us,&rdquo; Taylor said.<\/p>\n<p>So Berkeleyside, which averages 250,000 unique visitors covering a city of 120,000, started talking more about the resources that go into the news it was producing, saying to readers, &ldquo;Would you like to support us? We&rsquo;re giving you this news for free.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s really about community. The value of being a Berkleyside member is you become part of this club,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;&#8230; In theory, every one of our readers should be a member. They&rsquo;re very much already part of the Berkeleyside community.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The site has offered the stereotypical tote bag and T-shirt type of incentive for being a member, but has seen the most success from simple, heartfelt messages about their mission and work.<\/p>\n<p>In the midst of Berkeleyside&rsquo;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.berkeleyside.com\/tag\/black-lives-matter\/\"><strong>intense coverage of Black Lives Matter protests<\/strong><\/a> recently, they sent an email to everyone in their newsletter database talking about how their reporter had worked 10 hours straight without a bathroom break or stopping for lunch. Within a day, they&rsquo;d received hundreds of donations. &ldquo;Sometimes it&rsquo;s $10, sometimes it&rsquo;s $250,&rdquo; Taylor said.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We remind them of what we&rsquo;re giving them,&rdquo; Taylor said, when we&rsquo;ve had &ldquo;an amazing week or couple days of reporting.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Berkeleyside sponsors local events, and gives members special discounts. It also gives them an early heads up on big features and special access to journalists.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/jeffjarvis\"><strong>Jeff Jarvis<\/strong><\/a>, director of the Tow-Knight Center for Entrepreneurial Journalism at CUNY, and <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/jcstearns\"><strong>Josh Stearns<\/strong><\/a> of the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation, said that in addition to revenue, <a href=\"http:\/\/observer.com\/2015\/08\/members-only-media-forced-to-be-gasp-useful-to-the-communities-they-serve\/\"><strong>membership programs can be about building relationships<\/strong><\/a> with readers that are essential to improving journalism, service to the community and audience growth.<\/p>\n<p>And that can&rsquo;t be a one-way request for money or be all about money. &ldquo;If we&rsquo;re really talking about relationships, we have to be listening in real ways,&rdquo; Stearns said, especially the &ldquo;communities that aren&rsquo;t being served very well.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Membership is not just about being a revenue stream,&rdquo; Jarvis said. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s an opportunity to reset the relationships we have with the publics we serve, plural.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Stearns said Berkeleyside was right to bring &ldquo;new levels of transparency&rdquo; to their work.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The actual labor of reporting &#8211; we don&rsquo;t talk about that,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;But we need to, because that&rsquo;s what shows the value of our work.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Mary Walter-Brown of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.voiceofsandiego.org\/\"><strong>Voice of San Diego<\/strong><\/a> said that it became clear during the site&rsquo;s membership efforts that people didn&rsquo;t understand the nonprofit news model.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;They turned on their computer and the news was there and they didn&rsquo;t really think about how it got there and who was producing it, and we&rsquo;d never told them,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;We had never written our story, and we had a really good story to write, and a whole staff of writers to write it.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Voice of San Diego had a membership program &ldquo;from the beginning,&rdquo; but at first it was unstructured, with anyone giving $5 being considered a member.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;If managed properly, it can really be the breeding ground for a lot more money,&rdquo; Walter-Brown said. &ldquo;&hellip;You get major donors out of it, you get corporate sponsors out of it. &hellip; If you do a good job managing that relationship.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>With <a href=\"http:\/\/knightfoundation.org\/press-room\/press-mention\/minnpost-voice-san-diego-set-high-membership-goals\/\"><strong>funding from the Knight Foundation<\/strong><\/a>, the Voice of San Diego and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.minnpost.com\/\"><strong>MinnPost<\/strong><\/a> worked together to build a customized customer relationship management (CRM) system using Salesforce to manage its membership program.<\/p>\n<p>There&rsquo;s a big push to get readers to sign up for a daily morning email newsletter, and then customized promotions attempt to convert them into members.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We know what kinds of stories they like,&rdquo; Walter-Brown said. &ldquo;We know where they live.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;You need to have a really clear picture of who your readers are before you can build an effective membership program,&rdquo; she said.<\/p>\n<p>Walter-Brown said Voice of San Diego conducted focus groups and sent out a 30-question survey asking about news consumption habits, topics of interest, desktop vs. mobile use, whether readers understood the nonprofit model and what they valued most about the site.<\/p>\n<p>It also asked readers to list three words that described Voice of San Diego and\/or what they valued in it, and later used that information in marketing campaigns.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, they asked readers who&rsquo;d never given if they wanted Voice of San Diego to stop asking them for money, or to &ldquo;keep asking because I&rsquo;ve been meaning to give one of these days.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;There are two kinds of people in our ecosystem &#8211; members and potential members,&rdquo; Walter-Brown said. &ldquo;&#8230;. (we have) a potential member strategy and a current member strategy.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Voice of San Diego gets about 18 percent of its revenue from members, 18 percent from sponsorships, 26 percent from major donors and 38 percent from foundations.<\/p>\n<p>It has four levels of membership, ranging from $35 to $100 a year to $1,000 to $5,000, and &ldquo;major donors&rdquo; who give more than $5,000.<\/p>\n<p>Walter-Brown said they are pushing automatic-renewal memberships in which readers contribute $10 a month, for example, with no expiration date and therefore much less churn.<\/p>\n<p>They are working towards user testing that would enable them to watch readers navigate the site and be able to prompt a fundraising message catered to support for a new education reporter position, for example, after seeing that someone has read three stories about the local school system that month.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I think we have a very long funnel,&rdquo; Jarvis said, starting with the &ldquo;faceless mass audience&rdquo; that news sites have. &ldquo;All the way on the other end is someone who is a subscriber a member. In the middle are tremendous opportunities.&rdquo;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Public media-style membership programs are \u201cbeginning to look like a lift raft\u201d for independent local news organizations, nonprofit and for-profit alike.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":678,"featured_media":2441,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"coauthors":[182],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/www.lionpublishers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/berkley.jpg",1600,982,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.lionpublishers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/berkley-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/www.lionpublishers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/berkley-300x184.jpg",300,184,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/www.lionpublishers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/berkley-768x471.jpg",768,471,true],"large":["https:\/\/www.lionpublishers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/berkley-1024x628.jpg",1024,628,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/www.lionpublishers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/berkley-1536x943.jpg",1536,943,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/www.lionpublishers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/berkley.jpg",1600,982,false]},"post_excerpt_stackable":"<p>Public media-style membership programs are \u201cbeginning to look like a lift raft\u201d for independent local news organizations, nonprofit and for-profit alike.<\/p>\n","category_list":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lionpublishers.com\/category\/news\/\" rel=\"category tag\">News<\/a>","author_info":{"name":"LION Publishers","url":"https:\/\/www.lionpublishers.com\/author\/opslionpublishers-com\/"},"comments_num":"0 comments","yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.0 -
