How to Monetize Your Expertise with Cuadra Channels
Cuadra Channels transforms your domain expertise into predictable recurring revenue. Train an AI on your knowledge, publish it to channels.cuadra.ai/your-org, set a subscription price, and earn while you sleep.
What Is Cuadra Channels?
Cuadra Channels is a B2B2C monetization layer built on the Cuadra AI platform. Instead of deploying AI via API for internal use, you publish it publicly for subscribers.
How it works:
- Train — Build an AI model with your expertise
- Publish — Make it available at channels.cuadra.ai/your-org
- Price — Set a monthly subscription (you decide)
- Engage — Subscribers chat with your AI
- Earn — Get paid every month
Who Uses Channels?
Consultants
Productize your advisory services. Instead of billing hourly, offer 24/7 AI access for a monthly fee.
Example: A tax consultant trains an AI on tax law and client FAQs. Subscribers get instant answers; the consultant earns passive income.
Authors
Let readers interact with your book's content. Turn a one-time purchase into ongoing engagement.
Example: A business author creates an AI trained on their book, frameworks, and Q&As. Readers subscribe for personalized guidance.
Educators
Offer 24/7 tutoring based on your curriculum. Scale your teaching without scaling your time.
Example: A language teacher builds an AI tutor that helps students practice conversations anytime.
Industry Experts
Monetize specialized knowledge that's hard to find elsewhere.
Example: A supply chain expert creates an AI advisor for procurement teams. Enterprise subscribers pay for instant access to 30 years of expertise.
Agencies
Offer AI assistants as a managed service for clients.
Example: A marketing agency provides branded AI assistants trained on each client's style guide and content strategy.
The Economics of Channels
Traditional consulting:
- Limited by billable hours
- Revenue stops when you stop working
- Hard to scale
Channels model:
- Subscribers pay monthly
- Revenue continues passively
- Unlimited scaling potential
Example math:
- Price: €49/month per subscriber
- 100 subscribers = €4,900/month
- 500 subscribers = €24,500/month
Your expertise earns while you sleep.

Step 3: Publish to Channels
Configure your channel:
- Name and branding
- Description

- Pricing tier
Step 4: Promote
Your channel lives at channels.cuadra.ai/your-org. Promote it:

- Offer to existing clients
Channels Pricing
