Let’s Look at Online Publishing vs. Print
If you’re new to online publishing, you probably have questions and concerns about the viability of online publication as a business solution for your organization. We know you want to see these issues addressed. And because it’s a topic we at BoomerCo love to discuss, we’ve outlined some of the important points regarding online vs. print publishing below:
What Are The Primary Benefits of Online Publishing?
In a nutshell, online publishing:
- Saves you money by lowering your production costs. Specifically it reduces and in some cases even eliminates the expense of traditional printing, including press time, paper costs – even manpower.
- Your only imperative supplies would be your computer, an Internet connection and a source of electrical power.
- Online publishing requires minimal staffing. You can hire freelancers as you grow and more human resources are needed.
- Imagine eliminating press time and expense. Not to mention the huge costs of labor, trucking and paper.
- You know printing expenses limit the number of copies and even the number of issues you can produce – haven’t you noticed recently how your newspaper is shrinking in physical size as well as weight? By eliminating those costs, your number of issues, issue length, and audience become limited only by your imagination – and time.
- While the cost of print publishing rises, online publishing stays constant, and more importantly, low. (Now, we can’t speak to the future rates you’ll pay for the electricity to power your computer. Undoubtedly that will continue to rise. But you’d have some of THAT expense regardless…)
- Eliminates Shipping and Mailing Costs
- With print publishing your shipping and mailing costs can be exorbitant, and the overhead and management it takes to ensure that the publication arrives everywhere on time is enormous.
- Online publishing eliminates all of these expenses – not to mention the need for management of printing and arrival: you send your baby out free – and it arrives at all of its destinations simultaneously and immediately. In other words, delivery is a cinch!
- Other Resources, Time and People
- Print publishing involves a time-consuming and complicated work flow, as your product moves from writers to editors to typesetting to proofing and printing. Online publishing automates all of these steps. They’re completed instantly – without any middlemen.
Online Publishing Generates Viable Income
- You Enjoy A Wider Audience
- With fewer printing and staffing costs and no mailing costs, you can put your money where it counts – and reach a wider audience was ever possible via print.
- Your message and products get out to more people. And while you’re serving them, you also provide them with a convenient way to access and patronize your organization.
- You Can Still Sell Advertising
- Advertising revenues for online publications are very real, and growing.
- Need an example? How about Google? Google, one of the largest Internet company on the planet – and still hungry for more growth – derives 100% of its revenue from tiny little ads.
