How to reduce the risks of launching a subscription strategy

To wrap it up: 
- Consider launching your subscription strategy ‘softly’, either by making the paywall optional, smoke testing your model or launching on only a small percentage of your audience
- Soft conversion steps are hugely valuable for increasing engagement and reducing frustration 
- Your chosen blocking method and paywall-type will impact SEO differently - ensure sure you’re making the right decision based on your strategy, and weigh up the importance of optimizing SEO performance vs high conversion rates 
- Most importantly - test, test and test again

The biggest risk is not taking any risk… In a world that is changing really quickly, the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks.
