Summary
01. MRR: simple definition
MRR stands for Monthly Recurring Revenue. It measures the total amount of predictable and regular revenue generated each month by a business.
In the world of digital products, MRR also refers to products with Master Resell Rights — content you buy once and resell as many times as you wish, keeping 100% of the profits.
These two definitions coexist in the French-speaking digital world. It is important to distinguish between MRR as a financial indicator and MRR as a type of license.
💡 Good to know

02. Why MRR is a powerful indicator
Predictable revenue month after month
MRR allows you to know exactly how much you will earn each month. Unlike one-off sales, it offers financial stability that is difficult to achieve with other business models.
For a beginner entrepreneur, it's reassuring: you know where the money comes from, and you can calmly plan your growth.
A measurable growth lever
MRR is calculated, tracked, and grown. Every new sale increases your MRR. Every loyal customer maintains your MRR. It is a formidably effective management tool for scaling a digital business.

03. MRR and digital products: the ideal combination
MRR digital products are digital resources — ebooks, videos, templates, training courses — sold with a Master Resell Rights license. You buy them once, then you resell them as many times as you wish.
Why it's ideal for beginners
No need to create content. No need to be an expert. You start with professional, ready-to-use resources. You customize, you sell, you collect.
The Ultimate PLR Pack from captivateur.com includes 7 ebooks, +8000 videos, 470 story templates and 385 mockups — all available with a resale license in French.
💡 Good to know
The difference between MRR and PLR? With MRR, you can also transfer resale rights to your buyers. With PLR, you resell the content but not necessarily the license. Two complementary tools for a solid business.
04. How to concretely calculate your MRR
Calculating your MRR is simple. Here is the basic formula:
MRR = number of active customers × average monthly price per customer
Concrete example for a digital product business:
- You sell 10 MRR products at €49.90 this month
- Your MRR = €699
- The following month, you sell 15 → MRR = €1,048.50
There are also variations: New MRR (new customers), Expansion MRR (customers who buy more), and Churned MRR (lost customers). For a beginner, first focus on your total monthly MRR.
