What Does Premium Content Mean?

Premium content is a type of digital content that may be accessed for a fee, and is usually of higher quality or more desirable than free content. It is mainly a digital marketing strategy that is used to differentiate between standard (free) marketing content and exceptionally informative content. It is also used by digital media companies (videos, music, TV shows) to deliver content under a paid subscription.
