What’s inside

Four rungs, and a price for each one.

Pricing a digital product usually comes down to one number picked in an afternoon, then never looked at again. A ladder replaces that guess with a structure: four rungs, each with its own job, so a new product has an obvious place to sit and an obvious price to carry.

This is a working primer rather than a theory of pricing. You read a short section, then fill something in.

The four rungs

Primer — the low rung that proves you are worth buying from
Standard guide — the one most buyers land on
Guide-and-tool bundle — where the money usually is
Premium offer — the top rung, and when you have earned it

Each rung gets the same treatment: what belongs there, how to build it so it fits, when your product goes there instead of the rung below, and a note on the number itself.

The two you fill in

The worksheet gives you a rung, a price, the product or the gap, the proof you already hold, and a status — so an empty rung reads as a decision rather than an oversight. The review log turns pricing into something you revisit each quarter: price, sales, action, notes, with an action guide for reading the numbers.

The four mistakes

Pricing by hours spent. Launching with a discount. Skipping the middle rung. Changing prices too often. Each gets a page explaining why it is tempting, what it costs you, and what to do instead.
