And will be talking about Subscribers are members: building communities around independent magazines
About Paul’s talk
Subscribers aren’t just buyers – they’re members. The people who commit to your magazine are your most engaged audience and your best advocates. Thinking of them as members changes the relationship from transaction to belonging, and belonging builds community, loyalty and growth.
This session explores practical steps for independent publishers to deepen that connection – from simple early-access perks and smarter email use to more ambitious membership platforms. We’ll also touch on how the shift to an ask-and-answer internet creates new opportunities for expert, niche voices.
