2.0 The 3 Organs of Revenue

• The Lead Magnet (Free):
  Usually a template or checklist. Its only job is to capture the email. (See our [LINK TO 'SOLOPRENEUR BLUEPRINT']).
• The Tripwire ($50):
  A small digital product. It converts a "Follower" into a "Customer."
• The Flagship ($500+):
  A comprehensive course or community. This is where 80% of the profit lives.
