granularity than that…
The LICENSING MODEL

The Add-On Model
Competitively	priced	core	offering
Numerous	extras	that	drive	up	the	final	price

niches	(often	in	the	absence	of	selling	their	goods	or	
services)
The AFFILIATE MODEL

commission,	even	if	they	never	actually	take	ownership	
(or	even	handle)	the	product
The BAIT AND HOOK MODEL
Disproportionate	amounts	of	the	value	are	captured	on	
components,	refills,	etc.	
Switching	costs	results	in	monopolistic	pricing
The FREEMIUM MODEL
Give	away	something	for	free	in	return	for	your	personal	
details	so	they	can	then	market	to	you	so	you	will	buy	from	
them	in	the	future
The LOW COST MODEL
Drive	significant	volumes	of	customers	by	charging	a	very	low	
price
The LOSSLEADER MODEL
You	lose	money	selling	at	that	price,	but	it	enables	a	different	
lucrative	opportunity
The PREMIUM MODEL
You	charge	so	much	for	it	(either	vanity	or	necessity	drivers)	
that	your	profit	margins	are	astronomical	and	cover	the	fact	
that	your	customer	base	is	quite	limited
The PAY AS YOU GO MODEL
Actual	usage	is	metered	and	you	pay	on	the	basis	of	what	you	
consume
The RECURRING REVENUE MODEL
Secure	the	customer	on	a	long	term	contract	so	that	they	are	
consuming	your	product	or	service	well	into	the	future
The DEMAND AGGREGATION MODEL
Assemble	all	the	sellers	and	buyers	for	some	stuff	in	the	same	
virtual	location
The PERSON-TO-personexchanges
Connect	one	person	that	has	something	someone	else	wants	
with	the	person	who	wants	it
The ONE-OFFEXPERIENCE MODEL
Nowism offering	unique	experiences	to	customers	at	a	given	
place	during	a	specific	event
Social	media	+	offline	event	organisers,	pop-up	stores,	online	
retailers
