Once a reader signs up and consents to being added to my email list, they get access to a handful of PDFs that I&#8217;ve created for members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During testing, we\u2019ve seen creators use Exclusive Content to lock full recipes, printables, digital downloads and how-to instructions! Anything that is your &#8220;Most Valuable Content&#8221; can be locked to encourage users to sign into Grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What About Email Subscribers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only does Exclusive Content encourage your readers to sign up for a Grow account, but it also obtains permission to add them to your subscriber list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our beta testers have seen impressive subscriber growth after implementing it on their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After setting up Exclusive Content, our own internal sites began seeing over half of their subscribers come from Exclusive Content CTA\u2019s!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What About SEO?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re Mediavine so you know that we make sure that all of our features follow best practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While building out this feature, we utilized Google\u2019s approved schema. You can sleep soundly while locking content, knowing it can still be discovered by search engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does Exclusive Content Work With Zapier?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Exclusive Content does indeed work with Zapier! Your subscribers will zap straight to the ESP of your choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is tiny bit of set up but once you have that all done, you\u2019re good to go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To <a href=\"https:\/\/help.mediavine.com\/en\/articles\/5734499-how-to-set-up-exclusive-content\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">learn more about how to set up Exclusive Content<\/a> with Zapier, visit our help center!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pair It With the Co-Branded Sign-Up Page<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We recently launched the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/co-branded-sign-up-for-grow\/\">Co-Branded Sign-Up<\/a> feature, and during our initial tests we noticed a lift in sign-up success when our testers paired their co-branded logo on the sign-up page with marking pieces of their content as exclusive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Featured-Image-Co-Branded-Sign-Up-2-1024x682.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35293\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For more details on <a href=\"https:\/\/help.mediavine.com\/en\/articles\/5914888-co-branded-sign-up\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">how to set up the Co-Branded Sign-Up<\/a> feature, navigate to our help center!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s Next for Exclusive Content?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This launch opens the door for other really amazing Grow features to come, such as setting an entire category as Exclusive Content and adding article limits that you see on popular sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These article limits tease that the reader is only able to view one more article on that specific site. The calls-to-action encourage a reader to sign in for the best experience possible while browsing the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;re excited to release this new feature to help you leverage your excellent content into more Grow members and email subscribers.
