Hosting & coaching is of interest. Currently just have 2 websites online but in a mess as I lost interest/motivation for a while due to several reasons.

I am using WPX.net and One.com for my hosting needs. WPX is by far superior in every way. One is OK, but support is not always the best.

Just hosting I think 49 USD is a good figure. For a hosting & coaching package I am thinking somewhere between 49USD to 100USD would be in the ballpark.

I would definitely say that getting to know people like you is the best thing I got out of my membership

I'll happily second that 😊 

Partha may come across as a bit brash to some (I found it very refreshing at WA in all honesty), but his heart is in the right place!

@rudy I'll let @partha and @diane share their thoughts as well (to clarify/fill in any gaps), but let me see if I can answer some of these questions:

Posted by: @rudy

Could we switch between levels? Say I need more help at first, then only need the monthly attention?

Yup, definitely! Right now, the three of us have only talked about monthly payment options, and not yearly options. But regardless, you would be able to switch around should you feel you did or didn't need as much help each month.

Posted by: @rudy

Or, say, new websites get weekly coaching for the first month, then monthly? (another level option, maybe)?

So coaching "will be around ONE WEBSITE or ONE SPECIFIC BUSINESS IDEA" (this is what Partha said in his first post). So when it comes to coaching, we'll be mainly working with you on the one site that you want to, well, mainly be working on.

Should you want help with more sites, then yes, you can have each site on different coaching plans. I'm pretty sure we can arrange that.

Posted by: @rudy

I really am interested in what you guys are offering in both hosting and coaching, and would switch in a heartbeat if what you offer is comparable.

Posted by: @yusuf

Also, I would be interested in a one-time coaching service that I can pay for whenever I need guidance, so not necessarily a monthly or weekly checkup, but a paid consultation to nudge me in the right direction. I'm not sure, but I think you already have something like that for $27?

Okay, so I'm going to use both these questions/comments above as a segue into something I've been meaning to say here, but haven't (and I'm in no way picking on either you Rudy or Yusuf - you were just the people who reminded me I wanted to say this, haha):

What we're planning on offering is definitely comparable with what WA has, but is probably going to be more expensive, and is going to be different than what most of you guys are used to (since most of you guys came from WA).

We're planning on offering actual business coaching, so that you guys will succeed with whatever your business ventures are.

When was the last time that you had one of the owners of WA actually sit down with you on a video call and talk to you about your specific site? Or checked in regularly and asked specific questions about your site and how you you were achieving the goals they helped lay out to your path to success (or even asked you if you knew what your path to success was, other than just 'posting more content' and being patient)?

We're planning on doing that within our coaching package.

I'm in no way trashing WA by any of the statements below, but I just want to point out a few differences between what they're offering and what we plan to offer:

WA is good in that they have the creation/automation of a website down to a tee. They can get someone into their membership and have them create a website, be able to do 'niche' research, and get a few blog posts on their site fairly quickly.

One thing that WA lacks is that they really don't have a good '1-on-1' coaching system in place - most of the time you're either left with questions when you reach out to someone who *might* know what they're talking about, or you ask the community and, well, who knows what you're going to get.

We're planning on doing things different in that 1) we're not focused on automation - each plan is going to be tailored to the individual site and not be a collective 'well just do XYZ and you're one the right path', and 2) part (or all) of the personalized coaching is really about helping you guys build a sustainable business.

WA is good in helping people start their site, but they aren't as good as helping people make their sites well-rounded (yes, they have training on getting on other social sites, and email marketing, etc, but it's pretty lacking compared to what they mainly focus on).

I really want to hone in on this word 'sustainable' and make it clear that our main focus is going to be helping you guys have businesses that have the adaptability to survive most online 'storms' - One of Partha's sites lost the majority of it's Google traffic, but he was able to bounce it back up to where it was by jumping onto social (because he had built it to be a sustainable business).

I personally am actually going through something like this right now, where the majority of my traffic (which was making me a lot in ad revenue and digital sales) for my main site has started to decrease drastically. BUT, I'm still able to pull a 'full-time' (enough for me to support my family anyways) income from it because I worked on building my email list last year since I knew this was going to happen at some point in the future, and now am able to email that list and make back those digital sales that I'm missing from the traffic (i.e. a well-rounded/sustainable business).

At the end of the day, this is what we want most for those who go through our coaching service - helping you create a business that will be able to take care of you, your families and/or any financial situations that come your way.

Now again about WA - something else WA is great at is helping people start an affiliate site - again, I'm not knocking on WA at all. But they aren't as great as helping people start a business with the individual in mind.

Let me explain.

I sort of wish that when I first jumped on the whole 'making money blogging' bandwagon back in late 2017 that I had known more about Medium - that is a place where you can just write about pretty much anything you wanted to, and make money for it (back in the day at least - and that's what I loved the most, just writing whatever I felt like, since I usually could write with more passion behind my words). There were a lot of people making decent money back in the early 2020s, or so I've read.

But I was taught back then was "stick to a specific niche, stick to only writing on your website", and so I didn't even know or take a hard look into Medium before this year (now, granted, one of the best ways to build a sustainable business is by making sure that you niche down and have the majority of your content on your website,)

But here's the point I want to make:

We want to help the individual with their individual business idea. We're not just here to help you with your affiliate site (If that's what you only want to work on then that's great, but we're open to helping with more than that).

So, if that means that you want to be working on Medium, or you want to try making money publishing books, or build your own products to sell, then we're willing (or at least I think we are, haha) to help you achieve that (Obviously within reason, and within the scope of what we know, both business-wise and from personal experience). Remember, so far the few products/courses that we have offered on this site (Parasite SEO and How To Make Money With Medium) teach you how to make money WITHOUT a website. Point being is that when it comes to coaching, we're not going to necessarily stick you in a rigid box (again, within a certain degree).

I guess what I'm really trying to say is that, when it comes to coaching, you should probably expect to have to pay a decent chunk of $$$ for good quality coaching.

I paid about $3K for a company to do a single audit on my sales funnels for just one of my sites last year (yes it was worth it, and yes, what I learned I plan to teach to those who take our coaching package). The year prior I paid another company $1K to help me kick-start an old FB ad (and that was just for one month of help!). I was actually looking into coaching for myself the other day, and the guy I was looking at charges something like $111 per week.

Let's be honest - most of us are here because WA just plain sucks. There is no way to sugar coat it. We all thought (myself included) we were getting a good deal - all the 'training', all these sites we could host on their platform, all the interactions we could have with the owners, etc.

Well, ladies and gents, most of us all know that WA's training sucks, their hosting sucks and well, you get the point.

But what WA has incorrectly taught most of us is that we should get XXX hosting slots for a very little amount of money per month, and XYZ amount of training or 'coaching' for $XX. And that those prices should be the 'norm'. 

And, well, I guess I'm just here to burst that bubble.

Partha has actually provided some pricing options for coaching and hosting packages to Diane and I the other day, and, while I didn't tell them, I actually thought that the highest amount he quoted was actually a little low, to be honest.

Now look, I get it - we all of 'financial woes' within our lives and can't always 'afford' everything we want or need. My wife and I just had our second child a little over 2 months ago, and we just moved into our new place 6 weeks ago. If anyone has done either of those you know how expensive those can be - and with my one/main business taking a pretty deep decline, well, I've been breaking just above even most months for the past few months now.

Now, I've had to cancel a $379 (per month) service that I use for one business because of all this, and my wife and I have actually looked over what we've brought with us when we moved to decide if we can sell it to help pocket some more money/buy the things she wants for our house. I've had to look over all my business expenses and see which ones I could cut and/or which ones will need to be cut next if something else within my business takes a dive the wrong turn.

I really do understand the feeling of looking at your bank account and wondering if you're going to make it through the month with the money you have or if my car breaks down what cash reserve I'm going to have to pull from to pay for any fixes.

But, point of all the above is not about how we all have 'sob-sob' stories and we can relate to each other.

The point I want to make is that, even in the situation that I'm currently in, if I was in your shoes, and Partha came out saying that he was charging $100-$200 a month for coaching, I'd jump on it in a heartbeat, even with the financial situation I'm in.

Why would I do this?

Because, honestly, 1) deep down I think we all know that we can afford what we really want/need for our businesses to succeed, and 2) I know just how valuable Partha's advice is. Just look at his track record - the dude has written hundreds of thousands of words for free, just for the fun of it.

Do you really think that it's going to be any less phenomenal when your paying for it and when he's writing it around your specific site in mind?

I honestly don't know how much our coaching packages are going to cost, but it's more than likely going to cost more than what you're paying at WA, even a 'one-time' service/package to make sure you're on the right track.

But before that turns any of you off though, I want to leave you with this one thought.

Don't get turned off because you think that you 'can't afford it', but get turned off because you genuinely believe that this coaching is not going to be worth it for you or for your business.

What I mean by "worth it" is it's not going to lead you to whatever end result you want for your business.

For example, back in 2021-2022 I told myself that I wanted to have a bunch of different sites that were managed by myself and a team of VAs that supported my family - I achieved that in late 2022 by finding, paying, and taking the necessary steps/training/'coaching' to get there.

In 2023 I told my wife that I didn't think we should go to debt to purchase our first house, so we found, paid, and took the necessary steps (save as much as we could) and coaching (optimize our sites/sales funnels to be making as much money as we could) to get there.

And now here I am in 2024, have a loving wife, two beautiful kiddos, a paid for house, the ability to stay up till 1:31 AM (as of writing this), and currently am working out what my next 'goals' are going to be and what steps/training/coaching I'll need to find, pay for, and take to see those goals succeed (one of my wife's and my goals is in the next 2-3 or 5 years is have $1 mil saved up by then, but that's another story).

So ask yourself what is your end goal or where do you want to be in the next 1, 2, 5 years, and will this coaching package (or even something else your looking into) help you achieve that goal?

One of my goals for the next 2-3 years is to help others see the same results as I have seen - to achieve 'financial security' (as much as we're allowed), sustainable businesses, and to see lives be changed not just business-wise, but also as better parents, better spouses, and better people overall.

That's my goal - what's yours?

@andy Best thing I've read all year...

 

I will go into more detail about what I think, but here's totally honesty IN FRONT OF EVERYONE (we hide NOTHING)..

 

I bet You and Diane are wondering why I've said nothing about hosting and coaching packages since our first conversation.

 

100% agree with you that the prices I originally mentioned were too low... and then this caused concern of my part about percentage split of earnings, I've had a HUGE amount of internal conflict ever since our first chat...

 

My reason for those original prices, I was trying to PLEASE OTHER PEOPLE WITHOUT THINKING ABOUT MYSELF...

 

I may as well be fully honest, and PLEASE no-one here take this as a swipe at any of you, it's NOT, I just really need to get my point across...

 

The reason I started the thread about "How much would you charge me to write a 1,000-word article?" is because I kinda knew the ballpark figure most people would mention...

 

And here's the conclusion (remember, I said I'm NOT taking a swipe at anyone, I just want this to be a place where we can all be honest and say what's on our minds)...

 

Most of you value ONE HOUR OF YOUR TIME as MORE EXPENSIVE than a FEW HOURS of MY time

 

What I mean is, I asked the "article question" and guessed that most people here would EXPECT TO BE PAID around $40-$70 to write a 1,000 word article (let's say 1-2 hours)

 

However

 

You expect to pay me LESS THAN THIS for a few hours of coaching.

 

Now, go back and read the bolded large text above again!!! 🤣🤣

 

Again, I want to help everyone is the most affordable way possible, but once more, Andy was so spot on about the original prices I came up with between Diane, Andy, and myself, as I say, it was also causing internal conflict inside me.

 

Additionally, Andy was absolutely spot on about the expectations created by WA for their "cheap" pricing.

 

Now, many people may look upon this as a great deal from WA, and I'll agree that up until around 2017, and at a stretch, to about 2019, it was a great deal, but trust me, online marketing in terms of SEO and blogging was much easier a few years back.

 

Realistically, the WA Premium Plus monthly price is actually less expensive than the monthly subscription for the best two keyword research tools in the marketplace?

 

So, can WA really offer the "best" hosting, the "best" keyword research tool, the "best" training, etc. or are these just words used by a very good marketer... and politician 🤣🤣🤣 (he should be, I've said it a million times before)...

 

Remember the majority of you would price YOURSELF writing a 1,000-word article as MORE expensive than a WA Premium subscription.

 

So, this is why I'm struggling to come up with proper pricing, and even wondering whether I should do this at all.

 

Again, I UNDERSTAND YOUR position, all of you, honestly, I really do... I get it, especially for those that have spent 1000s and 1000s over the years (not on ME you haven't 🤣🤣🤣)...

 

I just want you all to understand mine...

 

Just to give you an idea, I would usually charge $300 for a website review and $200-$500 per month for coaching, based on how often we were going to get together..

 

One of the "coaching packages" D, A, and I (🤣🤣🤣) originally discussed was $39/month because I wanted to please ALL OF YOU (and I forgot about myself... I could end up working about 100-150 hours per month for less money than YOU WOULD WANT for writing 2-3 articles).

 

Anyway, I'm still thinking, but personally (again haven't discussed with D & A yet), I want to get all the packages and prices out in the open by the end of the week.

 

I like the idea of "switching", I like the idea of "one-off website review" or "one-off coaching sessions" (obviously expect thee to cost more than monthly coaching subscription... I came up with a $27 idea, I'm NOT going to do that anymore, I think you all know if I say one hour you're probably going to get two hours out of me, and I would feel nothing but resentment for earning LESS THAN YOU WOULD WANT for the same amount of time... to write an article), and I think that there should actually be a minimum "contract" (for want of a better word) for coaching packages... I don't think any of you would do it, but let's say we did have a $39/month coaching package (I'm really hating that price already!!! 🤣🤣🤣), what's to stop you getting a website review and an action plan for the month, and then just cancelling the coaching package, well done, you just got Partha to about $500 of work for $39 (again, as I say, I don't think any of you would do this, but these are things that need to be considered)

 

Still thinking... 🤣🤣🤣🤣 But we'll get something sorted, in terms of pricing, this week.

@andy Great post Andy, thank you. I am thinking/has experienced a lot of the same things that you describe.

The last paragraph you wrote is where I am at currently. I intend to make something out of my efforts online, and this time around I want to make it work in a simple and effective way.

I need to do that within 1 to 3 years, and I want to learn from and cooperate with people that actually do the walk and not just talk.

Just a s a note; As WA did not deliver on its promises, I got into a couple of coaching programs which has cost me 97 USD per month for 1 year and another one costing 297 USD per month, which gave me virtually nothing I couldn’t have learned elsewhere without paying for it, or did not know already. A ton of money just out of the window.

So with you, Partha and Diane at the helm we will be in good hands to make our online efforts work as we want them too.

Looking forward to see what the final packages will look like.

I saw those prices as well on the Dutch side , 1000 ends of euros, and I was like: what can they teach me if I already have an established website? Nothing really, I don't believe that. I don't think that those programs will dive into real depth with what you are doing already, just general answers, like on WA I guess. And then they make your head go crazy with all kinds of 'nerd' talk that I won't be able to follow and give up anyway because it's way above my head. Then off course, I am the one responsible. Nah, never fell for that trap or those ads on Facebook etc hahaha

@andy 

Thanks Andy for that post, I totally agree with it. That's why I said as you guys were talking about a price: I said at the LEAST what we are paying for WA now, and I will pay more if needed, because reading all of this, I appreciate the huge difference between WA and the way you guys would work with us.

I do hope I can have a separate package though, for coaching only, because I'm quite happy with WPX hosting.

Just one thing though: off course I would listen to you guys advise, and I do want to work hard on that advise, but you guys do need to realise that on top of the coaching, we will need to invest a lot more money than the coaching alone. I am seriously struggling in trying to do everything by myself, except for Reddit at the moment, what Partha is doing for me.

So if I am told to: "change this on FB, that on Pinterest, create an e-book, be more active on your forum, do this more on Youtube, be more active there, have 10 pins a day, etc, be active on Linkedn and Medium and 2.0 pages (I think you know where I'm going with this), then I just.. can't.. 

I know I HAVE to, mind you, if I want to succeed, but keep in mind that those hundreds, thousands of extra costs for having them done (cause I can't do everything on my own), aren't there for everyone. I could give up on holidays to achieve this and invest in all of it, but I'm 52, sick and tired again, and that is one of the few things I am looking forward to in life. (I don't want to give the sob and pitty story, it is just reality that many people are facing). 

Me and my partner always have been like this,saving up and trying to spend as little money as possible on loans and such, because I was just 27 when I already got sick. So we basically build our own strawbale house (for about 70% we did ourselves, I helped where I could), and it is a modest,but low-energy house we now live in. (back in the days, we didn't even have internet you know, to make money online hahaha)

We pay off monthly a lot less than other people with a brick house ànd we have solar pannels, wash with filtered rainwater and all of that, which means our monthly energy and water bills are much lower than people with 'regular' houses (prices of energy in Belgium are incredibly high because of Russia/Ukraine). But we can not invest thousands of euros to have someone helping out with Pinterest, Youtube, Facebook, etc..

SOOO, what I want to say is, yes, maybe you guys can have several 'formula's' set up: monthly, one-time only, etc. To also tell people what they should either DO or have DONE by someone else, to give them the choice if they can or can not spend that extra money.

I hope I don't sound ungrateful or anything, because you guys helped me out so much already for very low prices (I know this comes from your hearts, I'd say 'bless you', but I'm not religious hahaha

@ohnoo_not_her Hi Lizzy - obviously, we have chatted about this before, and I could take on some tasks for you, at hopefully an affordable price, specific to your requirements. 

Not even an ongoing contract, if that suits you better, just an occasional one-off task, whatever you need, happy to discuss. 

I can't imagine you giving up your holidays, you would be one grumpy b***h, lol, xx

AAAAH you're too sweet, "old fluff" , I get the nickname now hahahaha! Oh hell yes , not want to give up holidays for sure, f**k that lol!
I was going to contact you for my Youtube channel, might as well do that today, always procrastinate things lol!

Gosh, so awkward,actually talking in English for my Youtube videos, you're going to laugh hahahahaha!

About you being happy with being independent and not relying on a company, I totally get that! It's my dream to support the household for once,and that my husband can go working part time or something, at least. The older he gets, the more difficult it gets to work nights/weekends, etc, and he is also getting tons of health issues, not enough sleep, I'm worried! And he would be more then happy with him doing the housekeeping/garden, etc only. He says he's good at it, so he can prove that hahaha! (men, ha, lol)

talk soon!

Lizzy

@ohnoo_not_her Lizzy ... strawbale house, solar, and filtered rainwater ... that's my dream. Amazing that you and your partner created this Smile Really. REALLY really! (Like now I have a whole 'nother reason to connect with you.)

But following on Lizzy's actual point. I have taken the parasite course and read bunches of posts from various people describing how much work they were getting done OR how much content needed to be created in a week. And my first reaction was - how can I figure out how to write 5 posts a day? Which I set myself the task of doing. THEN I realized a lot of those people actually had people writing for them. And that made me realize that this group comprises people at ALL different stages in their MMO career and business development. 

And with that, I think I also caught a bit of a glimpse of what succeeding in creating a business online today might look like.

It's not the hard work that concerns me ... its managing all the pieces and parts. Which, I confess, makes my head spin.

So, when it comes to coaching, cost is less of a concern for me. What really matters to me is the "tailoring" bit - having someone who can work with me from WHERE I AM NOW based on what I WANT TO DO. (This doesn't mean I will refuse to do things I don't want to do - just that I don't want a business built 100% around them. That's just soul sucking.) OR tell me up front it can't be done. 

This is why I really like the idea of a one-off option as a starting point - so I could see the vision or strategy and see how it fits for me and what I want to do, before I commit to a year. And I very much appreciate what I think Diane said (or maybe Andy) about the business not having to be the same for everyone.

Anyway, I think I saw a questionnaire come through in my email, so I'll attend to that.

AND I think it's time for me to take Diane's Medium course.

I am so happy about our home and how my husband invested so much time in it and 2 good hands, it is our own little paradise.

When I started at WA, I was considering writing about low energy houses, strawbale houses in particular, but couldn't figure out how I was going to monetize it with affiliate marketing (and yeah, WA hardly talks about monetizing a site with ads, grrrr). Also, lots of things are a bit too technical for me to write about, especially in English.

This blog is in Dutch and we now have normal toilets lol (with rainwater), and not updated in ages,but if you are interested in the works: click on the right side column for all the pictures: https://www.bloggen.be/lapaillote/. In the meantime, we have a lot of grown fruit trees, berries, nuts, our own chickens and eggs,etc.

= haven't gotten to it yet, think so to hahaha

@ohnoo_not_her I will totally check it out and probably ask you more questions - outside this thread Smile I'd love nothing more than to live frugally, sustainably, and possibly off the grid ... or nearly ... and simply because that lifestyle really appeals to me much more than having a bunch of crap. I have a book upstairs called "Trailor-steading" about a woman and her husband who bought dirt cheap land and a near-derelict mobile home and turned it into, well, a homestead. And I found a place in Georgia that installs rain catchment systems and cisterns ... OHHHH, some day Smile

@andy -

Wow.....

To be honest, I started to read your reply, Andy, yet my wyes glazed and only skimmed the rest because I saw where you were gojng...

I certainly value the cost of helping others, lord knows I've done it for free for too long, and the folks I helped are now running successful websites.

The only thing I like at WA, is being able to host 25 websites. I  currently at 12 websites, in various niches, and not all are active...

However, none of them are making any money,  the whole reason I came to WA almost 5 years ago!

For that reason, I am more interested in the coaching aspect that would be available, and the cost will be reflective of the effort given.

To clarify, once a price is finally selected, if you can provide a breakdown of what will be offered with the coaching, that will certainly validate the cost of any level.

I am well aware of the efforts by Diane and Partha, and the option to finally be able to reach them on this level is fantastic.

Now I won't have to wait 4 months to get a reply from Partha....😎...

Anyway, I'm here for the long haul. I need help getting past a certain point that I seem to be blocked at, and coaching will help me.

I do actually have a coach who I meet up with once a month for an hour, and that helps to keep me on track.

To have someone actually check my site and give me their advice would help me to share that advice on my other websites. They all have the same issue...

Once in a while, maybe every 6 months, I would be willing to get a 'checkup' to see where I'm heading.

I think it was @Cowboy who mentioned doing all the things, and I hear you, man.

Ai has helped me with creating tutorials and courses with outlines I can use. This saves me a LOT of time.

Yet, there are a lot of things we can get help with, and that's what I liked about joining this DMC.

Anyway, my first post of the morning, lol, sans coffee.

My total respect for you Andy! A great explanation and thank you so much for taking the time to write and share all this.

For mw personally this is exactly the business model I am looking for in 2024. The WA model was right for me in 2020. As a spiritual person I believe everything happens for a reason and exactly at the time it is meant to. The world and I have evolved since 2020 and I want to keep on evolving, learning and building a sustainable future for myself and my family.

As a therapist / coach myself there has ALWAYS been debates around pricing models. You will never please everyone. For me the value and ROI has to be the decider and so much of that has to come from within and your personal beliefs.

I am so grateful to be here and for all the support everyone shares.

Thanks again Andy, Partha and Diane for creating this space.
