From content to a paid offer
A workshop? A service? A digital product?
More options do not make the decision easier. A membership needs ongoing delivery. A service uses your time. A digital product still needs a buyer. Compare the tradeoffs before choosing what to build.
02 / TEST
See what each sale leaves you
Work through pricing, contribution, delivery hours and a paid pilot. Separate attention from purchases and time saved from money earned.
03 / DECIDE
Decide what deserves another test
Use worked examples, a revenue decision sheet and a five-line strategy exercise to choose what to repeat, change or stop.

A free taste · Illustrative worked example
Revenue is not what you keep.
A $1,250 launch sounds good. But what is left after making and delivering the product?
In the guide’s fictional example, Jo sells 50 mugs for $25 each. Variable costs are $17 per mug, with another $240 in fixed launch costs.
The next decision:
Jo spent 16 hours on the launch. The $160 left amounts to $10 per owner hour before shared overhead and tax. Before ordering another batch, test whether a better price or cost structure is viable.
Fictional teaching example
Sales · 50 × $25$1,250
Variable costs · 50 × $17−$850

Who is this for?
