The "7 Streams of Service Revenue" that every business should build toward are not fluff—they’re infrastructure. If your business doesn’t have clear pathways for every stage of your buyer's trust and buying power, you're leaking revenue and leaving impact on the table. Let’s walk through each one the way I built mine—by giving people value first, making them feel seen, and guiding them up the ladder naturally, not forcefully.

1. Free Services

2. Front-End Services

3. Back-End Services

4. Side Services

5. Premium/Top Services

6. Affiliate Revenue (strategic alliances)

7. Recurring/Membership Offers
