Level 1 books are for children who are just beginning to learn about books and reading. At this stage, your child is likely to be learning the alphabet at nursery, and may be able to recognise some simple, common words.

Some books are wordless, with pictures telling the story. Wordless books provide lots to talk about, and help your child learn how to hold a book and turn the pages.

Money from the reader: how and what you can earn | Press Club Belarus

Synopsis of the "Summer lecture" from the Media Academy with the editor-in-chief of "Ukrainian Pravda" Sevgil Musayeva.

Sevgil Musaeva is a Ukrainian journalist, editor-in-chief of the online publication Ukrayinska Pravda. The main focus of the publication is political news and social issues. In 2019Sevgil graduated from the Nieman Foundation for Journalism program at Harvard University, where she studied business models for contemporary news publications.

The glue for the community

All media today are facing challenges caused by two global changes:

  • Social networks have changed reader consumption, which forces newsrooms to meet readers and build horizontal connections with the audience.
  • The fall of the advertising market is forcing editors to look for new ways of monetization, one of which is reader support.

There are three main models of reader support:

  1. paywall
  2. crowdfunding/donations
  3. creation of a reading community (readers' club)

In exchange for money, editorial offices often offer a story about their inner workings, which forms internal connections, trust is the glue for the community.

At the beginning of 2020, when the quarantine was announced, Ukrayinska Pravda decided to focus on the reader model, on creating value for readers (through UGC) and on finding and developing innovative editorial forms. Before launching the reader model, the editorial staff researched their audience in detail.

How brand DNA and the choice of reader model are connected

Ukrayinska Pravda turned to the reader club model for a reason. The main factors that influenced the choice of this particular model of reader support:

"UP" was created by its founders as a response to censorship in Ukraine and neighboring countries in order to ensure free access of readers to truthful objective information as a basic human right. Therefore, the sudden introduction of paywall on the basis of Western publications would be contrary to the DNA of the brand.

Also, UP has always been in the wake of public interests, public organizations in Ukraine, supporting people with an active civic position. Creating a community in the form of a club would help unite people with active citizenship.

Finally, this model involves constant feedback from readers, which directly affects the life of the newsroom and helps it to become better.

Ukrayinska Pravda Club

Ukrayinska Pravda Club offers three levels of membership, depending on what the publication has to offer its readers:

#1. UP Club - $2 per month / $18 per year. This is the base level of support. That same cup of cappuccino that “you don’t drink, but spend on supporting your favorite media.” A symbolic amount that each person can spend once a month not on coffee, but on media. In exchange, UP hosts private events, readers access and communicate with UP's editorial team, vote on topics and text, submit their text ideas, and receive a weekly newsletter written by a member of the editorial board.

#2. Toloka UP - $4.5 per month / $36 per year. In addition to the options from the basic level, readers are also provided with special discounts or offers from UP partners. Toloka is such a concept from Ukrainian culture, denoting mutual assistance and mutual assistance of the inhabitants of one village, especially in difficult times. Toloka UP was also born during the covid crisis, when businesses lost customers, media lost advertising revenue, and readers were forced to save on something. This is how an interaction model arose when everyone helps each other - media helps businesses by placing ads, giving access to their audience, businesses help media through discounts, which attracts the reader, and the reader, in turn, receives benefits from both the media and from business.

#3. Editors Club - $1250 per year. This is a discussion intellectual club. It gives all the privileges that other participants have, but mainly it is a discussion intellectual platform for business, diplomats, people from creative fields who discuss the vision of the country's development directions and participate in discussions. Also, the participants have a blog on "UP", where they can speak on important events. In addition, it is involvement in the mission and values ​​​​- support for journalism. Demonstration that medium and large businesses can thus contribute to the development of independent media.

The message of the Club "UP": "Together we create high-quality journalism."

A year after the launch of the UP Club, the reader model takes 10% of the budget.

Audience Research and Community Management

One of the most important steps before launching a reader model is to research your audience. The survey, which involved more than 3.5 thousand readers of "UP", showed that 28% of the audience has been reading it for more than 10 years. This is an indicator of audience loyalty.

There is one indicator of reader behavior that is considered more or less universal for all media, including The New York Times and The Guardian, which was also confirmed for UP: the number of readers who are ready to support the editorial office financially does not exceed 3-5% of the total audience.
