Curated Learning Resources
- Designing Revenue ModelsProduct leaders must focus on revenue models as much as the product and customer experience, as they contribute to the ability to create a flywheel for businesses, according to Giff Constable. How a company makes money can also create or limit customer behavior. Constable refers to Axial, a fintech marketplace, as an example, and how its revenue model affected its ability to create efficiency for buyers and sellers. Examples of revenue models include: • One-time purchases • Rentals/subscriptions • Advertising • Pay per use/transaction
