💰 As a solo-maker, how've you tried to monetise your product?

Question

Jeremy Perez · Accepted Answer

I've tried to monetize my product by implementing a freemium model, offering essential features for free while providing premium functionalities through subscription tiers, additionally leveraging targeted marketing and partnerships with influencers to increase visibility and conversion rates.

Answer

I had another thing going on. I was charging overcost for my expertise. It was working and I was making a lot of money. But as a solo developer, I couldn't take the strain, got tired and shut down my product at the very peak of its success.

In general, don't repeat my mistakes. When your product starts making any money at all, think about building a team.
