As part of trying to expand our coverage of new parts of the industry, Performance Marketing Insider started a series of interviews with content unlocking companies. Please note, at first I questioned the entire Content Locking industry, but have begun to realize the benefits and that there are legit uses for the methods. This incentive based industry is one of the fastest growing segments, very similar to the social media currency, except that is generally not social based. The whole model is simple: sites want to provide something of value, but don’t want to provide it for free. Instead of asking a user to pay for it, they work with a content unlocking company to provide a gateway. In our industry, this means that if a user does something, fills out an offer, downloads a product, registers for a giveaway – or anything – they will be provided with the content for free.
We did a series of interviews with the leaders of the content locking and unlocking industry, and below are some of the interviews. Additionally, we have done a lot of insightful “how to articles” also listed.
