What This Skill Does
A structured process for designing how a solopreneur business earns money. Covers recurring, one-time, usage-based, and marketplace models, how to stack multiple revenue streams, and how to validate a model before building.
Rather than picking a pricing model by intuition, this skill walks through selection criteria, stack design, and pre-launch validation in one structured workflow.
When to use it
- Choosing between subscription and one-time pricing for a new SaaS tool
- Deciding how to add a second revenue stream to an existing consulting practice
- Projecting 12-month revenue from a planned membership community
- Picking a billing tool (Stripe vs Paddle vs Lemon Squeezy) for a digital product
- Testing whether customers will pay a monthly fee before building the product
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
User asks: I'm building a SaaS tool for freelancers. Should I charge monthly or sell it once?
- 1Asks qualifying questions: does the product deliver ongoing value, what is the marginal cost per user, how variable is usage across customers
- 2Maps answers against the model selection table to identify subscription as the primary candidate
- 3Designs a revenue stream stack: SaaS subscription as primary, a one-time template pack as secondary, occasional consulting as opportunistic
- 4Fills out the payment flow template for the subscription stream including billing tool recommendation, trial length, and cancellation flow
- 5Outlines a pre-sales validation method to test whether freelancers will pay the monthly price before development is complete
A documented revenue model with a chosen primary stream, a two-stream stack plan, a payment flow spec, and a validation experiment to run before launch
