Let’s talk about "The Platform Lifecycle."
It always starts the same way. A new platform appears. It’s "Creator Friendly." It’s "Easy." It helps you find an audience. You love it. You tell your friends. You build your entire business on it.
And then, the platform matures. They have stockholders now. They have "Growth Targets."
Suddenly, the platform that helped you build your business starts looking for ways to extract more "Rent" from you.
- Shopify starts pushing their own "Payments" and taking a cut of every transaction.
- Substack takes 10% of your subscription revenue for "Discovery" that you aren't actually seeing.
- Amazon starts competing with your best-selling products.
They aren't your partners anymore. They are your Digital Landlords.
The Tax on Your Ambition
The problem with these platforms is that they penalize you for being successful.
If you make $1,000, you pay $100. If you make $1,000,000, you pay $100,000. For what? The exact same software? The same database row?
It’s the most regressive tax in the world. It’s a tax on your ambition.
The Leapjuice Way: Fixed Cost, Unlimited Upside
At Leapjuice, we don't think we should get a cut of your success. We are a utility, not a partner.
When you run Ghost for your newsletter or PrestaShop for your store on our platform, you pay for the infrastructure. You pay for the C4D Zen 5 chips and the Titanium NVMe storage.
If you sell $1 worth of products or $1,000,000 worth of products, your bill stays the same. The "Upside" belongs to you, not to us.
Ownership is the Only Exit
You can't "exit" a business that is built on a proprietary platform. You can't sell your Shopify store easily if the buyer knows they are beholden to Shopify's terms.
But a business built on Sovereign Open Source? That’s an asset. You own the code. You own the data. You own the customer relationship. You can move it, modify it, or sell it whenever you want.
Stop Paying the 'Easy' Tax
We get it. Shopify is "Easy." But is it "$100,000 a year" easy? Is it "Giving up control of your future" easy?
It’s time to move from being a tenant to being an owner.
Build your business on a foundation that you control. Build it on Leapjuice.
