Today’s money mission
Imagine this situation: Two businesses both offer tutoring: Business A charges 5000 in local currency/session (transactional). Business B charges 15000 in local currency/month for unlimited sessions (subscription). Same student, 4 sessions/month.
What you need to know
Revenue models determine how money flows. Per-transaction: simple, immediate, no commitment. Subscription: predictable, recurring, but harder to acquire. Commission/marketplace: earn percentage of transactions you facilitate without holding inventory or delivering service — highest scalability.
