Gravity monetized primarily through course and training sales, offering products that are tightly coupled and sold on their site. Additionally, they sold one-time or lifetime deals priced at $99, initially selling a few copies via IndieHackers.
“I put it on IndieHackers for $99 was the first price point. And then I sold three copies, I think, in the first month. And then basically launched it in September. And then by the end of the year, I'd sold five copies of it in the final quarter for $99 each.”
“And then I sold three copies via Indie Hackers in the first month.”
“I threw it up on Indie Hackers for 99 bucks at the time and I sold like three copies in the first month.”

“that's kind of what I did with the course as well. ... everything's under the Gravity brand and everything's connected.”
“After that year, if you want to continue getting updates and have access to me and support, then you pay an annual subscription of $1.95 which gets you another year of product updates and support.”
