Let’s compare (math!) Normal Business
• $500 product (one-time sale)
• 20 sales per month • First month = $10k • 1 year = $120k • 2 years = $240k • 3 years = $360k • 5 years = $600k • (starting over every
month)
Recurring Revenue
• $50 monthly subscription • 20 sales per month • First month = $1k • 1 year = $78k • 2 years = $300k • 3 years = $667k • 5 years = $1.8M • ($60k per month)
