Identify Your Monetization Motion
Decide whether product-led, sales-led, or hybrid monetization best fits your model, customers, and strategy.
About this course
This chapter helps you define how your business reliably converts users into revenue. It explains the three monetization motions — product-led, sales-led, and hybrid — outlining when each is viable based on product complexity, customer behavior, and revenue model. The goal is to match your monetization system with your acquisition motion, guardrails, and Foundational Five so that your growth engine stays aligned and sustainable.
Through the project, you’ll log your motion choice, note whether it’s viable now or later, and justify it against ARPU, payback, team capabilities, and customer patterns. The output is a concise narrative that shows why your monetization motion fits your model and how it reinforces your broader growth system.
