4. Term Of The Day 📚
Unit Economics
📖Definition: The revenue and cost directly associated with a single “unit” of your business (e.g., one customer, one order, one subscriber), usually expressed as contribution margin per unit.
📊Why it matters: Positive unit economics mean each incremental unit adds value and can scale profitably; negative unit economics signal you’re “buying growth.”
💡Example: A newsletter earns $5 CPM and sells 2 ads per email to 10,000 subscribers (revenue $100 per send). Variable costs (writer $30, software $10) total $40, so contribution per send is $60. If each new subscriber costs $0.50 to acquire and opens 20 emails on average, lifetime contribution per subscriber is $1.20 ($60/10,000 × 20) minus $0.50 CAC = $0.70 of unit profit
