Would You Pay for 3 Hours With Me?

I’m interested to know something. If you could, would you pay $500 to get on the phone with me for 3 hours. Basically you get on the phone with me and tell me what you’re doing (you can be as specific as you want). I’ll give you new ideas and help you improve what you’re already doing. What I will do? Give you all the advice I can on how your campaign is going. I’ll help get it off the ground and optimize it so it’s achieving the maximum ROI. What I won’t do? I won’t tell you my campaigns, landing pages, or answer the question “Can I have all your secrets?”

I always talk about how you can’t be afraid to invest a little money for the sake of making 100x more in the long-run. Would you pay $500 for my direct and private advice? I’m interested to see what you guys would do. Note that I’m not starting any phone consultations, really. Take the poll though and answer honestly.

    $500 is not not unreasonable at all, provided the client does his homework beforehand and is prepared so he can maximize his time with you. i also agree that maybe there should be a 2nd session to allow for follow-up ques.

    how about a “site analysis” service where u analyze a blogger’s site and come up with recommendations on how to improve SEO, traffic, monetization, etc?

    Things I’d rather do with the 3 hours… See you get owned on WF.

    Still have lots of respect for you…. Just rise above it! No need to insult your readers by defending yourself on WF. The world is full of haters and you simply can’t win if you fight them all.

    It’s funny according to the poll most people say no they woudn’t pay but if you read the comments most of them say they would pony up the $500, mixed signals or sure.

    You know what would be cool. If you had teleseminars on PPC. People can pay to be on the call. You can talk about PPC and give great advice… You can also have a Q&A session at the end where people can ask questions live (or email them in advance).

    I’m sure you’ll get a lot of people signing up for this.

    If you go this route, having the recording of the show available to download for free afterwards would be cool.

    I say free because it’ll be viral and help promote the selling of future teleseminars. Or instead of free, you can offer a tier pricing.

    Price One: $200 – Join the call live
    Price Two: $50 – For 15-30 Days after call – downloaded the recorded version
    Price Three: FREE – 30+ days after call – give it away, upsell future calls and provide your url within the mp3 (for the viral effect).

    pricing is only a suggestion… I have no clue the going rate for this type of calls… or what people would pay!

    Like is Adwords kicking your butt so much that you got some free time? Cos if abt 150 people say yes that means u aint gonn do nothing else but making phone calls? hahahaha that would rock lol!

    I would give you a $1000. Let’s do this! :-)

    That is too cheap. Seriously, good lawyers charge $400 per hour. Celebrity lawyers much more. Its a non linear pay curve and you are at the top.

    In your case, it drives down your perceived value to charge less than $1000 per hour.

    If only these people would only invest the money they are willing to give paul into affiliate marketing! You have to realize that you don’t need someone to hold your hand to make money online, just go out and do it. That’s the best way to learn.

    I second to that Nick, 3 hours talk over the phone wont get u much unless it is live then someone is tallking. Take your time invest that money and see how it goes.

  18. May 7, 2008

    YES! I would love to chat with you for 3 hours. In fact, I have been trying to get in touch with you because I think there are many ways that we could be working together to help each other make a lot more money online.

    I’d pay it as long as you were retiring from the industry in the next 30 days and wanted to “pay it forward”. The reality of this is that you are most likely NOT going to share any of your delicious little secrets, maybe just a few appetizers here and there, which I could read on WF or DP for free. I’ve finally learned the hard way that a guru only sells secrets if they aren’t useful to him anymore.

    Just my humble opinion.

    3hrs is too much, how about 30 minutes for $100?

  21. May 8, 2008

    I would say no. Paying $500 for three hours of talking to you on the phone is a little too much. And honestly, I can’t remember the last time I spent three hours on the telephone…

    But just reading your blog is good enough to help me. Plus, you’re not going to tell me your landing pages, your campaigns or all your secrets so what’s the point? lol

    Depending on how the meeting was setup (virtual desktop, planning beforehand, etc) I would.

    Hi Paul,

    I just chanced upon your site through a friend recommendation, so, I guess word of mouth marketing is doing well for you.

    It’s my first time to your blog, and I love it. I just hang out for about 5 minutes now, and reading some of your posts and comments.

    As a marketer myself, I can tell that you are drawing great crowds, and your questions of 3 hours for $500, personally, I feel it’s worth it.

    When I get to know more of you and knowing your strengths in your marketing, and I know that after investing 3 hours of our time together and $500, I can generate at least 10X in the next 30 days with your advice, I would do it.

    That’s my personal opinion.

    Look forward to catch up with you, Paul

    To Your Success,
