Description

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence*.

(*Some images used in this course have been created using artificial intelligence (AI) for illustrative and educational purposes. These images are not real photographs of actual people, organisations, or events and are intended solely to support learning and understanding.)

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

  • Build upgrade, expansion, add on, and usage based monetization strategies that compound revenue

  • Create ethical monetization approaches that avoid dark patterns while supporting sustainable growth

Why monetization matters for Product Managers

Monetization decisions shape roadmaps, feature prioritization, and customer experience. As a Product Manager, including those working on AI products and platforms, you are often the bridge between user value and business outcomes. Strong monetization skills allow you to move beyond feature delivery and confidently own revenue and growth.

What you’ll do in this course

You will actively:

  • Work through real world monetization case studies from companies like Notion, Apple, Zoom, ChatGPT,  American Express etc.

  • Analyze pricing, packaging, and tiering trade offs, including examples from AI product management

  • Participate in role play exercises simulating pricing reviews, leadership discussions, and monetization trade offs

  • Apply practical decision frameworks you can immediately use in your own product

Why this course is different

This course is designed from the perspective of real product leadership. It combines structured frameworks, modern product management practices, and hands on application across traditional, fintech, and AI product monetization scenarios. Monetization is treated as a core product responsibility, not a side topic.

If you want to move beyond guesswork and confidently own monetization as part of your product role, this course will give you the tools to do it.

Enroll now and start designing products that convert value into revenue, responsibly and at scale.
