Insightful reporting on subscriptions: a key requirement in a news web site

An essential part of running a subscription-based news web site is monitoring and improving your performance and revenues. You will need insightful and advanced reporting to enable you to make key decisions such as:

• Why are your users subscribing? And why not?
  You might understand why users do not subscribe, and some might even make it a point to contact you about not wanting to pay. But what's making them pay, and what content should you make more of?
• How do your users like to pay?
  Your methods of payment are probably diverse: credit cards, iTunes payments, Google Play Store, wire transfers, or any payment processor. Which is the preferred method by your users? This largely depends on your target audience and market.
• Which journalist or topic is making you the most money?
  Could a certain journalist be driving more conversions than others? What about the system user that is performing data entry?
• How many articles should I allow a user to read before hitting the paywall?
• How are your paying subscribers distributed geographically?
• Which of your products is performing better than the other?

Analytics is a key component of your online business and your decisions should be primarily based on the activities your users and readers perform on your sites, and which experiments they react to.
