        content marketing

        Why RebelMouse Is the Best Content Marketing Platform
    
	RebelMouse is a unique platform and company. The company was founded on the vision that media companies would need an always-modern solution to thrive in the new connected internet, and that brands would have to behave like new media companies and use the same platforms.

        Why Premium Creative Agencies and CTOs Choose to Develop on RebelMouse vs. WordPress and Drupal
    
    The Intersection of Design and Development: Where Your Clients Thrive

	We started RebelMouse seven years ago knowing that there was a fundamental design flaw in the world of traditional CMSs: Every instance, on every platform, had to be updated independently. It's similar to an era when users had to manage their own Microsoft Exchange Server for email. The costs of managing, maintaining, and iterating on a CMS to keep it awesome and world class is typically a $10 million-a-year endeavor. But even then, these cost-prohibitive CMSs are still behind the times.

        Google Made Major Changes to Its Formula for Page Speed. Here’s What to Do About It.
    
    Understand what Lighthouse 6.0 and Core Web Vitals mean for your website's future

Understanding Lighthouse 6.0
	Since Google's page speed changes in 2018, publishers have engaged in a mad dash to figure out how to build dynamic sites 
	and maintain performance scores that meet the search engine's user experience expectations. Now in 2020, when people are online more than ever, excellent site performance is no longer optional.

	Earlier this year, Google released version 6.0 of Lighthouse. As a reminder, 
	Lighthouse is a tool built into the latest version of Google Chrome that helps you determine how well your site is performing, and tells you which pages on your site need improvement. So let's look at what's changed.

        multivariate testing

        Native Multivariate Testing at Scale With RebelMouse
    
What Differentiates Our Approach

	There are many popular tools that allow you to perform experiments and A/B tests on your users — primarily Google Chrome Experiments and Optimizely. But all of these solutions are JavaScript additions to your web page that sidestep the problem of old, outdated, and clumsy CMSs. These solutions work by calling on a third-party JavaScript library that rewrites a page after it's rendered. This approach adds extra page weight and creates strange user experiences due to having to wait for everything to load and be rewritten on the fly.

	At RebelMouse, we've solved this in a very elegant way. At the core level of our platform, we can natively render different layouts and track the exact differences in performance when comparing a test to your other layouts.

        search engine optimization

        The RebelMouse Approach to SEO
    
    An SEO Strategy That Wins With Every Publish

	How exactly Google determines search ranking largely remains a mystery for publishers, but what we do know is that the search engine continuously rolls out updates to its algorithm. And while sometimes these updates are small and nearly unnoticeable, other times they result in massive changes around the way Google crawls content, often disrupting the rankings of webpages all across the globe.

	With each one of these algorithm changes comes a new approach to search strategy. It's a lot to keep up with in a competitive digital landscape. Publishers are already burdened with the task of creating high-performing quality content that's easy to find on Google and, in turn, easily shared across social. It's a job that can't be solved with advertising dollars either. It's estimated that nearly 
	80% of users disregard paid search results. Pair this with the fact that 93% of all online experiences begin with a search query and you're left with the realization that it's never been more important to prioritize search engine optimization.

	The good news is that RebelMouse has a unique approach to SEO that leverages the tools available to us from the open web alongside our 
	proprietary technology that enables users to win key phrases with every publish. The best part? The platform is designed to empower the people who live closest to content: writers and editors. Here's how it works.

        organic social media strategy

        The New Content Lifecycle: Build a Creator’s Universe with Discovery
    
    Become the center of the universe on your topic.

	In today's digital world, organic growth is everything. The old pay-to-play mantra adopted by many publishers is putting them at the mercy of Facebook's temperamental News Feed.

	If you want to survive the constant algorithm updates and technological changes, your focus must be on building a community that constantly sparks conversations among its audience. To do so, you have to connect with likeminded Facebook Pages and social profiles at scale, and that starts with quality content. But sometimes good content isn't enough. At RebelMouse, we have a saying: "If you create quality content without distribution, does it even exist?" That's why we created Discovery, an integral part of our suite of sophisticated enterprise-level tools. Using proprietary technology, Discovery is designed to help you figure out the social ecosystem that's already having conversations related to your content. But before you can reach out to potential influencers, your content has to be set up for distributive success.

	Content saturation is an industry-wide problem, and the e-commerce space is no exception given that it's filled with big brands, small Etsy stores, and everyone in between all fighting for similar audiences. The best way to fight this symptom is to understand your audience and provide them with what they want.

        Building Premium Communities and User Journeys on RebelMouse
    
	RebelMouse is much more than just a replacement for a traditional CMS. Our platform is a tremendous community-building experience. Today's social ecosystem has given us a seemingly limitless number of premium creators who understand how to create gorgeous and relevant content that drives the growth of their own audiences. These creators and influencers are either experts in certain topics, or heavily engaged in targeted content that drives their interests. They're not only consuming the content they're passionate about, but they're contributing to the conversation, too. The new role of the editor is not just to cover the most important topics and people around their expertise, but also to 
	invite those preferred influencers into their community and get them to participate in creating premium content.

        content publishing workflow

        Tools to Master the New Content Workflow
    
	Content creation has never been static. Since the early days of social, the relationship between publishers and readers has blurred and warped into what's now the state of digital publishing in 2020. At RebelMouse, we 
	started out as a social feeds aggregator and subsequently went viral as the "social front page." Since then, we've obsessed over the best ways to share content in today's social world despite its unpredictable seasons.

	For years, the role of the publisher was isolated, and the inner workings of how content was created was confined to the hands of creators. Publishers once operated a behind-the-scenes news desk that facilitated content for its readers. Now it's become a gigantic whiteboard meeting attended by the entire social ecosystem.

	Today's audiences are craving authenticity and transparency, which has created the rise of the social influencer and birthed a universe of creators. Whatever your message may be — whether it's to sell a product or simply inform your users — it must be validated by others.

	That's why we've created a workflow for our publishing solution that nurtures a community of creators. Because in the current climate, it takes a village to build user loyalty. Here's what it entails:

A Synergetic Platform: We've created an intuitive process that allows each article to be created as a collective process between team members, influencers, or any contributor to your content experience.

Detailed Approval Workflows: A post submitted by a community member never goes live without the review and approval of an administrator. Writers with zero publishing rights can submit drafts for approval rounds, and drafts can also be saved at every stage of the editorial process.
Built for Creators

	No matter how big your content team may be, each article likely starts with a core creator. Once completed, their draft content is typically submitted for review and revisions before publish. RebelMouse's Entry Editor now makes this process seamless for creators, so they can spend more of their time focusing on creating quality content that's optimized for both search and social.

	The workflow for a creator is comprised of:

Content Creation: A creator begins crafting a post using our powerful publishing software, taking care to get the most out of our integrated media bar to increase reach and the likelihood of a click.

Tagging: The creator then organizes their content with applicable tags to make sure it shows up in all the right places on the site. These tags are also used as search keywords.

SEO Best Practices: Next, the creator optimizes their post for the search phrase they want to win in the SERPs. By targeting a specific phrase for each article, each piece of content has a better chance of ranking high against Google's search algorithm.

Submitting for Review: Finally, the creator submits their post for review before heading off to their next assignment.
Dynamic Collaboration

	Creators can add annotations to drafts at any time during the editorial process. Within the platform, there's a companion notifications-and-comments feed for writers and editors to review annotations, as well as a timeline that tracks edits.

Add Annotations: If you're reviewing a post in the Entry Editor, you can add annotations to any part of the content for the author to see.

Receive Notifications: There's an alert icon that appears in the top-right corner of the Entry Editor each time there's a new annotation or comment added to the post.

Comment Thread: Keep the communication open with a thread of all comments and annotations that've been left on a post.
Methodical Transparency
	The dashboard is where content creators, administrators, and contributors can see the current queue of posts and where each article stands in the content lifecycle. Based on a users' rights, they can also look at real-time stats to keep track of trends and any potential peaks or dips in traffic.

Stay up to Date

	Never wonder where a post stands. Every phase of the workflow is clearly marked in the dashboard. If an article is still in review, it's marked with a yellow bar across the top of the draft.

Monitor Every Post

	Within the dashboard, users can see the latest pieces of content in the queue, their status, and when they were created. Preview, edit, or search for any article right from within the dashboard.

Stay on Top of Stats

	The post dashboard houses not only the post queue, but also customizable statistics on performance, including the number of pageviews for each post and on site overall. Posts can be further filtered by date published, author, and keyword. The metrics available to each user are dependent on a member's role on the platform. For example, an editor may not be able to see as many stats as a user with administrative rights.

Improve Your Content Workflow

	The new content workflow is designed to make each step of the content lifecycle intuitive and easy to control. Administrators are able to see the flow of content being published, and can quickly note any turns in reach, engagement, or even publishing cadence.

	At RebelMouse, this workflow is just one part of our CMS that's helped launch new media powerhouses like Axios and The Dodo. It's why legacy brands like United chose our platform to launch their content hub.

	Start optimizing your content and its lifecycle today. We launch sites fast. We also offer strategy services to make sure your media property reaches its biggest audience at scale while still generating revenue. Let's create something together today.

        subscription model for publishers

        In 2021, Publishers Take Back Control With Subscription Success
    
    Users are ready to pay for content that delivers.

The Rise of the Mature User

	It's been a long and winding path, but in 2021 the subscription model continues its upward trajectory as a top revenue strategy for publishers of all sizes. The tug of war between platforms and publishers reached its peak in the last few years of the previous decade, leaving users desperate for a modern user experience that's clear of any clutter from the duopoly. This is why intelligent paywall models are a top choice for users looking to consume content right from the source. When done correctly, the strategy can work for any type of media. 
	The New York Times, a frequent showpiece example of the power of paywalls, is constantly reporting record-busting subscription numbers, with 5.7 million digital subscriptions last year.

	And it all makes perfect sense. The subscription model eliminates the middleman — such as the platforms — so readers get the experience and content they want, and publishers get the cash they need.
RebelMouse's Subscription Features
	As a creative agency powered by modern technology, we know how to build a subscription experience that's designed for both the modern user who wants an optimized site experience and the modern publisher who relies on paywall revenue to survive.

	RebelMouse's subscription features are customizable and easily support:
Free Trials: Create one-day, weekly, or monthly subscription plans.
Coupon Codes: Use promotional codes to give access to strategic partners and complement B2B deals.
B2B Subscriptions: Use email matching to sell access to companies.
Testing Powered by Data: We have a sophisticated suite of A/B testing tools — complete with Google Analytics integrations — that give you the ability to test what works, what doesn't, and how to better cater to your readers' needs.

	RebelMouse's Paywall API is available to developers to make it easy to manage subscriptions. Access to paid content is managed via subscriptions attached to email qualifiers. 
	Click here for more information on our Paywall API.
The Success of Our Subscription Model
	Sites powered by RebelMouse are experiencing enormous success thanks to our subscription strategies, including the Italian newspaper 
	La Verità. While publishers on other platforms typically see a decrease in audience when they implement a paywall, in their first year leveraging the RebelMouse paywall strategy, La Verità saw 800% audience growth with an average of 16 pages per visitor, far above the industry standard. Their continued, unprecedented growth makes them one of the highest-growth media properties in Italy, and they've experienced significant revenue growth thanks to our paywall tools.

Is a Subscription Model Right for You?

	In the past, there was a stigma around paywalls that signaled they were only sustainable for large publishers with massive audiences already in place. But with today's users maturing, subscription models are more attainable for a variety of emerging media properties and legacy names alike.

	It's important to strike the right balance between free content, subscriber revenue, and ad strategy. This is a lot to juggle for publishers who are already maxed out trying to create quality content worth reading.

	At RebelMouse, we can help you determine if a subscription model will benefit you, and then build a custom, easy-to-use paywall system that works for your site. If you're not publishing on RebelMouse, we also operate as a world-class creative agency that can help you navigate the subscription business and any other content strategy you may be building toward. Either way, 
	request a proposal today and let's start working together.

        How to Monetize Your Website in Today’s Publishing Environment
    
	In order to define distributive publishing, we have to ask the following question: If you have quality content, but nobody sees it, does it even exist? The answer is no, because your content needs to be supported in a way that lets it move seamlessly across all channels, especially site, search, and social. But let's take this question a step further: If you can't monetize your content to generate the support it needs, how do you create quality content in the first place?

        RebelMouse + Pushnami: Increase Audience Loyalty With Traffic-Building Push Notifications
    
	In today's competitive digital environment, acquiring customers is half the battle. In a world full of options, customer retention and repeat engagement is worth its weight in gold. It's estimated that just a 2% increase in customer retention is the 
	same to profits as cutting costs by 10%.

	RebelMouse is an enterprise-grade CMS platform that's dedicated to empowering editorial teams to build an on-site experience that's designed to retain audiences. Building loyalty means taking control of the distribution of content, and this means reaching readers wherever they are — even if it's on another site!

	That's why RebelMouse is proud to offer an intuitive out-of-the-box integration with Pushnami within the RebelMouse experience. Our partnership has made it easy for publishers to leverage Pushnami's modern push notifications to secure new audiences and create repeat engagement with established followers.
Why Do Push Notifications Matter?
	Push notifications increase website traffic because users are able to opt in to your messaging with one click — no email address required. Once a user opts in to your site's push notifications, they will begin to receive push notifications whenever their browser is open, encouraging them to return to your site.

	Studies show that push notifications can increase conversions up to 30% more than other marketing channels. That's because push notifications let you target users that have already expressed interest in your site, which beats using a blind audience list for a display or search campaign. Knowing who your target audience is also allows you to craft the right messaging to get their attention, which results in a precise approach that cultivates more web traffic, more conversions, and, ultimately, more revenue.
What Is Pushnami?

	Pushnami is the second largest push notification platform in the world, and is used by more than 20,000 sites all over the globe to deliver over 20 billion notifications per month.

	Sites can grow their owned marketable database, tap into new monetization channels like a curated ad feed and push ad network, and scale their results by utilizing built-in machine learning models and campaign automations.

	In fact, some Pushnami users experience a 30% increase in conversion rates and a 24% increase in traffic overall.
How Do Pushnami and RebelMouse Work Together?

	Users can send Pushnami push notifications from RebelMouse's editorial interface. It just takes one tick of a checkbox to set up a push notification for an article, and another tick to send a second notification. This makes it easy for creators to incorporate Pushnami into a publishing workflow without ever having to leave our Entry Editor.

Where Can I Learn More?
