If you are a Product Manager responsible for driving growth, retention, or revenue and you’ve ever felt unsure about pricing decisions, freemium limits, or upgrade paths, this course is for you.
Have you been asked to increase revenue without clear guidance? Do pricing discussions turn into opinions instead of structured decisions? Are monetization decisions happening around product instead of through product?
Product Monetization Mastery for Product Managers is built to help you confidently design, evaluate, and execute monetization strategies as a core part of modern product management.
This course treats monetization as a product discipline, not a finance afterthought. You’ll learn how pricing, subscriptions, freemium models, and expansion strategies connect directly to product usage, customer value, and long term business sustainability. Throughout the course, you’ll also explore how AI powered products are monetized, including how AI product managers balance compute costs, usage limits, subscription tiers, and ethical constraints while scaling revenue.
In this course, you will:
Develop a clear mental model for how products capture value through monetization
Master pricing strategies including value based, competitive, and cost informed pricing
Design subscription and freemium models that drive conversion without harming trust
Apply monetization metrics like ARPU, LTV, CAC, and contribution margin to product decisions
Evaluate real world case studies across SaaS, fintech, consumer, and AI driven products
