I definitely think the $97/month would be worth it myself. However, I’ve got no work coming in and I’m trying to go by what was given for free in the 101 Ways To Elevate to get new clients. I’m serious about what I do, but I’m facing a serious amount of people who concentrate on price rather than value.

I’m having to try to go back to work in a grocery store, where I’ve already been told I’m overqualified, in the meantime. If I can somehow manage to boost my business with what I’ve gotten out of the recent webinar and other freebies, I’d definitely go for the $97/month. The timing is just a bit off for me right now.

I had a full time job doing web design with a real estate marketing company for 4 months until they laid everyone off. Had I known about WP Elevation during that time, I probably would have done it.

And I’ve raised my rates, but yeah, no one is buying.

Anyway, I won’t give up! No sir! Gotta keep pressin’ on!

Hi Troy, I do appreciate all that you do, and i believe the cost is not prohibitive. Compared to normal business consultants its a bargain, and its more convenient than driving to some office for your meeting, or a half hour phone call which is less humanistic than a webinar.
Each email comes with an opt out so it does not fit the definition of ‘spam’, and since i purchased the 19.00 special i have certainly come to expect good materials that i can use pretty much right away with a little branding.
I look forward to getting on board with your consulting, and certainly will try it out for a few months, in a few months. Keep the emails coming as a ‘reminder’ of my informal commitment here. For my own work, the cost is equal to one maintenance agreement, or in some instances less than the multi site mx agreement.
One thing i would like to know about charging clients in my own business or in some others – what degree of excellence does it take to charge the amounts i have seen in your webinars ( 4000 for discovery for example), especially since i usually don’t work with a team of experts, i am a one man army swiss knife…Or is there no correlation for fees and degrees of knowledge? I presume these types of costs support a family or team of developers for huge clients. My clients are not that rich, although we’d like to get them…

In reply to Dave Williams.

Hey Dave – thanks for dropping by. The WP Elevation business accelerator program will never be discounted and there will not be a lower tier. Gold membership is $97 per month and next year we are introducing Platinum membership which will be a higher tier.

The program is priced at a point to attract people who are going to participate and get the most out of the program. Now I’m not suggesting that you are not serious and I do understand that $97 a month is a not a tiny amount of money – but it does ensure people are paying attention and implementing to make sure they get a return on their investment. We have plenty of success stories in the program that would suggest to me that this price point is working perfectly.

However, we do have an introductory course that will give you a taste of what we offer and it’s currently on special for Xmas at $19 – you can get it by liking our Facebook page here: http://a.pgtb.me/qvfzLG

I hope that helps you.

In reply to Sharon Beck. I'm liking your emails a lot too. Especially because the stuff you're giving a way for free actually seems valuable. But as a person just starting out, $97/month seems really high for me. Perhaps you could consider a lower tier program at around $15-$20 a month.
