The model
How it pays for itself.
Ohr HaGanuz earns from day one of launch. The first chapter is free, so anyone can taste it before they buy. See the pricing
Projections · book sales only, at today’s prices
| Buyers | Revenue |
|---|---|
| 1,000 | about $15,000 |
| 5,000 | about $76,000 |
| 20,000 | about $305,000 |
These are projections, not promises. They assume 70% of buyers on the web and 30% in the app, about 3% card fees on the web, 15% app store fees, and today’s launch prices. They don’t count dedications, licenses or the higher prices later on, which would all add to them. At these numbers, about 3,600 buyers would cover the full $55,000 raise.
