Monetize Your Sector Research with Searchable, Subscriber-Ready Insight Collections
- Context & Challenge:
Independent researchers often struggle to scale their work beyond one-off consulting or report sales. Most publish insights as static PDFs or presentation decks, limiting their ability to update findings, track reader engagement, or build sustainable revenue. With no built-in interactivity, searchability, or analytics, these documents are quickly forgotten after initial use—despite high research quality. Additionally, recurring revenue opportunities are lost due to the lack of a structured delivery model for continuous value and engagement.
- Transformation with Wizly
- Luis, a tech trends researcher, packaged his competitive intelligence work on AI startup ecosystems into a subscription-based Insight Collection.
He transformed static charts and summaries into live dashboards, audio commentary, and AI-curated Q&A—converting his expertise into a monthly recurring income stream. Within 5 months, Luis grew to over 300 active subscribers and generated a $4,500 monthly revenue stream with less than 8 hours of monthly upkeep.
How he Created It:
- Luis followed a structured, data-driven approach to ensure his Collection delivered continuous value and engagement:
1. Structured Content by Segment: Grouped 140+ startups by use case (LLMs, Infrastructure, Edge AI) and stage (Seed, Series A, Series B).
2. Interactive Layers: Embedded funding tables, investor maps, annotated pitch decks, and quarterly updates.
3. AI Assistant Training: Trained his AI to answer over 50 frequently asked queries (e.g., “Which Series A AI companies raised over $10M last quarter?”) using linked data across all updates.
4. Subscription Pricing: Deployed monthly and annual plans—$25/month individual, $200/year bulk reader tier, $1,000/year VC team license with branding.
