How we'll model this
  • Cohort vs self-paced delivery modeling with margin differences.
  • Tiered pricing (core / pro / done-for-you) with attach rate modeling.
  • Payment plan uplift and refund-rate modeling.
  • Reality check: flag when audience × conversion can't sustain pricing.

This estimate is directional while we calibrate against fresh benchmark data. The full math, range bands, and reality-check verdicts ship next.

Common questions

Cohort vs self-paced — which sells higher?

Cohort consistently 3–10x self-paced for the same content because of accountability and access. Self-paced wins on margin and volume; cohort wins on price and outcomes.

What % of audience will buy?

Cold list: 0.5–2%. Warm list / engaged followers: 2–5%. Loyal community: 5–15%. Use the conservative end when modeling a first launch.

How do I price for outcome?

Price as ~10–20% of the first-year financial value the student gains. A course that adds $20k of annual income justifies $2k–$4k. Below 5% means you're underpricing.

Should I offer payment plans?

Yes for anything above $500. 2–4 month plans typically lift conversion 25–40%, with a 10–15% upcharge. Almost everyone pays the full plan if your refund policy is clear.
