To pick a content management system, know your needs

Know what you want from a content management system

Before you start shopping for a content management system, make sure you know exactly what you want and that everybody’s on the same page with it. How big is this site going to be? How much content will be on it, and how often do you plan to update it? Are you interested in a pay-per-view service, a subscription service or an advertisement-funded service? You should not only know this, but what a content management system can do, so you have reasonable expectations.

It takes time and effort to move your content to acontent management system. Make sure you choose a content management system that is easy and convenient to use, so that once the new CMS is in place, you have a net saving in time and effort that increases the longer you use it.

Look for a system with the right specifications

Some content management systems limit the number of videos you can store, or maximum file size to 50 MB or something in that neighborhood. This may not be adequate for your needs. Others don’t make it easy to share your content on social media, or make it hard to monetize.

What you really want is a system that gives you the information you need on who’s watching, where and on what. The more you know about your fans, the more effectively you can monetize your content, giving them what they want and ensuring profit for your company.
