Let us try to answer some FAQs that may help you decide to upgrade your account

Why should I pay for your content?

India’s first and only subscription-driven B2B platform focusing on brands’ content marketing strategies, BuzzInContent.com, does not serve display advertising and offers a clutter-free smooth reading experience. At the same time, we feel our premium content takes a lot of resources and investment, which should be paid for.

Is the reach enough to justify my investment?

Even as we have a database of over 27,000 content practitioners receiving our newsletters, 70% of which is from brands, our strength is 1,000+ paid subscribers (individual+corporate) in less than a month and fast growing. The relevant set of the audience is the value you get against your investment. After all, who needs millions of irrelevant page views!

What are the subscription plans?

One can pick an individual subscription plan @ Rs 2,900 per annum or pay just Rs 290 if interested in reading only one article. We are also offering big savings on corporate plans @ Rs 2,500 per user per annum. Talk to us for more clarification or if you may be facing technical issues while subscribing. But, in the absence of any manual intervention, the subscription can be activated only online with easy payment options.

What do I get against an annual membership?

Besides access to 400+ paid stories and adding almost every day, the paid subscribers will have access to our upcoming whitepapers/market studies on the content marketing ecosystem.

Can I sample the stories beforehand?

You can sample our story before subscription with free sign-up and read what’s there in the story. After that, a subscription is required to read the full story.

BuzzInContent publishes original, analytical and meaningful stories on content marketing for its subscribers including content marketing case studies and video interviews with content marketers.
