In this video I discuss the Freemium business model. This is traditionally a web based business model, but many elements of it can be found in many other kinds of offline, brick and mortar businesses The key is to notice what elements of the Freemium business model make it work so well, and then to apply and fit those elements to your business.
In this video I cover how Freemium makes your business more defensible, helps your marketing and sharing, and how you can get the non-paying customers to convert to paying customers.
Keep in mind that there is no such thing as the best business model. And while freemium is a very good business model, for different industries, different business models work differently. Additionally, very often, as you grow your business, you have to add and remove elements of a business model that work and do not work. So often, you do not end up with a perfect version of the freemium business model, but some reshaped version of the freemium business model. And that goes for every business model and not just freemium. On the other hand, there are many instances where the freemium business model is not a perfect fit. But nevertheless, you can take elements of the freemium model which might work well for your business.
For example, one of the strengths of the freemium business model is that you can give something of value for free. And that is what draws that large volume of potential customers to your business. But what if you are a store or a restaurant? Can you give something away for free? It is very difficult because it costs you real money. The reason the freemium business model works so well on the web is that digital goods are nearly free to give away. But that is not the case for brick & mortar businesses.
But nevertheless, if you have a store or a coffee shop, what if you host an event in your store or a coffee shop? You will get many people to come for the event, and maybe they will spend money with your business while they are there. So that is an element of the freemium business model at work. Try to think about where you can use freemium in your business to your advantage.

✂️ Design, Decorate, and Do It Yourself: The Howto & Style Genre
The Howto & Style genre is a massive, practical, and highly visual category dedicated to instructing viewers on personal improvement, crafting, home decor, and aesthetic skills. These videos serve as highly accessible, free workshops for mastering life skills and cultivating personal style.
The Pillars of Practical Instruction 🎨
This genre thrives on the promise of transformation—showing viewers how to achieve a desired outcome, whether it's a perfect smoky eye, a renovated piece of furniture, or a delicious meal. It emphasizes clear, step-by-step guidance and visually appealing results.
Key Content Formats and Niches 💄
- Beauty and Makeup Tutorials: Step-by-step guides on applying makeup, skincare routines, product reviews, and mastering specific looks (e.g., bridal, special effects).
- Fashion and Outfit Lookbooks: Videos showcasing various outfits, styling tips, clothing hauls, and advice on building a capsule wardrobe.
- DIY and Crafting: Instructional content for creating objects, including knitting, painting, jewelry making, and repurposing old items. The emphasis is on budget-friendly creativity.
- Home Decor and Organization: Guides for interior design projects, decluttering strategies, room makeovers, and specific furniture builds or hacks.
- Cooking and Recipes: Detailed video recipes, culinary techniques, meal prep guides, and taste tests. This niche focuses on both the process and the delicious final presentation.
- Life Hacks and Productivity: Quick tips and tricks designed to simplify daily routines, save time, or improve efficiency in various aspects of life.
The Deep Appeal of Learning and Aspiration 💡
Howto & Style videos succeed because they offer viewers immediate, actionable knowledge that leads to tangible personal or environmental improvements. They appeal to the desire for competence, beauty, and efficiency.
Motivation Through Demonstration ✨
The visual nature of video is perfect for this genre, as seeing the exact placement of a makeup brush or the correct way to hold a saw is far more effective than reading the instructions. The final reveal (the "after") provides powerful motivation.
Why This Content Goes Viral 🚀
- Before-and-After: Videos featuring dramatic transformations (makeovers, room flips, restorations) generate immense interest and shareability.
- Accessibility: Using common, affordable tools or products makes the project feel achievable for the average viewer. "Five-Minute Makeup" or "Under $50 DIY" videos are highly popular.
- Inspiration: The content feeds the viewer's aspirational side, providing achievable goals for personal style or home aesthetic.
- Trust in the Expert: Viewers develop trust in creators who consistently deliver reliable results and practical, high-quality instruction.
Tips for Creating Top-Tier Howto & Style Videos ✍️
Success in this genre depends heavily on clear communication, polished aesthetics, and meticulous attention to detail during the demonstration.
Production Essentials for Instruction 📸
- Close-Up Clarity: Use tight, well-lit shots to show the crucial details of the process (e.g., the needle threading, the blending of eyeshadow, the cutting angle). The viewer must see exactly what the creator sees.
- Excellent Lighting: Lighting is non-negotiable, especially for beauty and home decor. Natural, bright light is best for showing true colors and textures.
- Voiceover and Pacing: Use clear voiceovers that narrate every step, but maintain a quick pace. Edit out any downtime or unnecessary waiting periods (like paint drying).
- Final Reveal: Always include a high-quality, well-framed shot of the finished product. This is the payoff for the viewer's time and serves as a compelling thumbnail image.
