The pricing, and what it costs per hour
Two published numbers, one gap between them, and a third way of looking at it that nobody uses: what the price works out at against the hours you will put in.
The two options
| Option | Total | Difference |
|---|---|---|
| Pay once | $2,497 | — |
| six payments of $497 | $2,982 | +$485 |
The number nobody calculates
The method asks for roughly three short posts a week plus reply handling. Call it four to six hours a week for the first couple of months while you are slow at it.
Over twelve weeks that is somewhere around sixty hours. $2,497 across sixty hours is about $42 an hour of training cost — which is a more useful frame than the sticker, because it tells you the price is small relative to the thing that actually gets spent.
Your time is the expensive input here, not the fee. Sixty hours is the real investment. That is the reason to decide properly rather than cheaply.
The running cost
About $15 a month for the automation. Roughly $180 over a year, and it is absent from every summary of what the programme costs. Budget it.
Which option to take
Pay once if the money is there; $485 buys nothing. Take the plan if paying in full would leave you without a buffer, because running short in month two ends the project and the premium does not.
What the price does not include
Ad spend, because there is none. A website, because there is none. A product, because you are promoting someone else's. Those absences are the model rather than a sales line, and they are why the fee sits where it does.
