![Page 25: 10 business models that can make you $$ and 3 that can kill you](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081605/589aa87a1a28abfc1a8b68d9/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Three at Scale – Not Launch
1. Multi-sided Marketplaces – Etsy – create products and customers
2. Big Data – PatientsLikeMe is emerging, but requires massive data in advance = massive cash
3. Panels – Toluna, precise groups of customer service research
![Page 26: 10 business models that can make you $$ and 3 that can kill you](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081605/589aa87a1a28abfc1a8b68d9/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Financial Models
![Page 27: 10 business models that can make you $$ and 3 that can kill you](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081605/589aa87a1a28abfc1a8b68d9/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Financial Models Components Assumptions – from above, converts into #s on
forecast Marketing spend, conversion Sales – who and how much Pricing Product timing, services required
Expenses Staff Ops
Build in “Sensitivity Analysis” vs hard coding, plan for time & Product changes
![Page 28: 10 business models that can make you $$ and 3 that can kill you](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081605/589aa87a1a28abfc1a8b68d9/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Example: Subscription Model
What can you know or at least estimate? Price per/sub/month Marketing spend to estimate Customer Acquisition Cost –
CAC By channel, e.g. $1000 buys you how much traffic Converts to trials Converts to paid
Churn % Time to close the sale
![Page 29: 10 business models that can make you $$ and 3 that can kill you](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081605/589aa87a1a28abfc1a8b68d9/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Example: Subscription Model 2
Expenses Timing and budget for staff Department level budget (Cost of Sales vs. G&A) Fully burdened expenses (taxes, benefits) Never a % of revenue
Charts Simplified for your presentation
Used as Forecast and Actual – living document When you showed it four months ago investor will ask

Six Financial Model Fails
1. Not knowing your key metrics
2. Top down vs. bottom up revenue
3. Not using accounting terms

5. Not scaling expenses with revenues
6. Not connecting financial plan to story narrative
