Monetizing

Your website should pay you.

A well-structured newspaper site draws income from more than one direction. ROAR builds every one of them in — and we'll review your publication and tailor the mix that earns the most for your paper.

Six ways ROAR earns

Stack your revenue streams.

SUBSCRIPTIONS

Readers who pay

Sell print and online subscriptions — separately or bundled — with auto-renew, bulk options, and automatic expiration reminders that keep renewals coming without staff time.

PAYWALLS

Your rules, your meter

Full, metered, or checkbox paywalls — two linked paywall types working together. Give away just enough to engage readers, then convert them.

YOUR ADVERTISERS

Local ad sales

A rotating web ad solution for the advertisers you already sell in print. Sell the bundle — print plus online — and raise the value of every ad call.

AD NETWORKS

Passive ad income

Google Ads and third-party ad networks fill the space your sales team doesn't, earning on every pageview.

CLASSIFIEDS & DIRECTORY

Classifieds that still work

Classified ads, a business directory, and an online store — with the shopping cart built in and classified management included at no extra charge.

REV-SHARE PLAN

We earn when you earn

On our rev-share program, ROAR works to grow your online ad revenue — your local advertisers get the premium positions — and we share in the results instead of billing you more. It's also how papers of any size pay just $179/mo.

Your time is money too

The cheapest cost to cut is staff time.

Every hour your staff doesn't spend wrestling a CMS is an hour spent selling ads and covering news. Stories go up in as little as 30 seconds; photos size themselves. Clients tell us ROAR is one of the quickest, easiest platforms they've ever used.

The revenue-share plan

Big paper? Still $179/mo.***

Papers of any size can pay $179/mo on our revenue-share plan — we win when your site earns. Ask us how it works for your publication.

***Requires the revenue-share plan. No setup fees (archive-import fees may apply).
