Microns: Choose Monetization Model 🚀 - Part 1

Ilya Novohatskyi
Ilya Novohatskyi
Hi everyone.
As you know, Microns is free. Therefore, I don’t take a commission on successful acquisitions.
But I need resources to maintain and grow this project further.
That’s why you got this email.
I want to share a few business models in my mind so you can upvote or suggest your own.
Take a look at all ways and vote for your favorite options. I appreciate each voice.

📝 Due diligence reports
I got multiple requests from my subscribers whether I vet each project manually.
I say no. But I might as a paid service.
I could verify revenue/customers numbers, ownership and provide due diligence reports for potential buyers for a fixed price.
📊 Project analysis
Unfortunately, I found that people have no clue how to price projects correctly.
So I can analyze projects on potential buyer’s requests and send my overview and estimated price. For a fixed price, of course.
✂️ Skip queue
I post only three projects for sale each week, and I want to keep this exclusivity. 
But, unfortunately, I see how the queue overflows.
So if you’re going to be listed without waiting, you could pay a small fee.
🔑 Assisting the deal
I see that many people don’t understand the process and how to approach it when you make a deal with the buyer.
Thus I propose to create consulting service inside Microns and assist with the deal.
It will include creating a deal structure, handling payments, crafting legal docs, and transferring assets — all for a fixed price.
📌 Pin your listing
After a few months, your product will be at the bottom of the list.
It would be great to help owners rank their projects higher on the website by paying a monthly fee.
🌀 Recurring appearance
I want to give opportunity to the founders to list one more time their projects on the newsletter.
After two months of the first appearance and for fixed price.
🔥 Express selling
I found that some people don’t like to wait, yeah, sounds familiar.
So, we can help you sell your project within a week/month but taking % of the sale.
The percent will depend on how fast we can help you close the deal — the faster, the higher %.
🙌 Summary
Mixing these cases will help build a sustainable business model and grow Microns to the moon without VC’s money.
I believe you have your variant, so click here to upvote and reply to this email.
Would be happy to chat.
Cheers.
