Two great businesses with one small difference

Typical transaction 80$ per night 4 nights per booking = 320$ 15% fee = 48$

Typical transaction 25$ for typical event 2 participants per booking = 50$ 10% fee = 5$

Please note: this example is my estimate. The data is entirely made up.

Validating demand & economics

Key questions:

Is the CAC 10$ or 100$?

Is the CLTV 5$ or 500$?

Can I sell one item per day or 5,000?

Validating demand & economics

Rules for running your test:

1)  Never ask anyone whether they like your idea

Only hard cash means anything

2) Sell your product at least 10 times

Fake it until you make it!
