Typical deal structure: $997 setup fee + $197/month. Client invests ~$1,000 upfront, then $197/month recurring. You get paid for the setup work immediately, then recurring revenue for infrastructure.

Revenue math: $997 setup + 12 months of $197 = $3,361 total Year 1 per client. 10 clients = $33,610 Year 1 (includes upfront setup labor).

Your 8-Week Implementation Timeline

Post every day. Track ruthlessly. Hire when volume exceeds your time. This is your right-now money.

Week 1-2
Post & Track Daily
Daily Rhythm

Post in 1-2 groups every day (5 min each). Respond to inquiries same day.

Weekly Focus

Track every post in Google Sheet. No builds yet, just qualify and collect data on which groups respond.

Expected Results

15-20 inquiries. Data showing which groups respond fastest and with best quality.

Hiring Decision

None yet. You're proving the model.

Week 3-4
Build & Close First Clients
Daily Rhythm

Post in 1-2 groups (5 min). Build 2-3 websites (5 min each). Qualify prospects (15 min each).

Weekly Focus

Send 3-4 preview links per week. Double down on best-converting groups from Week 1-2 data. Stop posting in low-converting groups.

Expected Results

2-4 paid conversions. $394-$1,188/month recurring revenue. Now you know which groups work best.

Hiring Decision

None yet. You can still handle builds + CRM setup.

Week 5-8
Scale Posting + CRM Setup
Daily Rhythm

Post in 2-3 groups every day (10 min). Build 1-2 websites per day (10-15 min). CRM setup starts taking 2-3 hours per client.

Weekly Focus

Track all posts in Google Sheet. Add cold email outreach if time allows. CRM work becomes your bottleneck.

Expected Results

8-12 paying clients total. $1,576-$3,564/month recurring revenue. You can identify your best clients + best groups.

Hiring Decision

HIRE NOW: 1 VA for CRM setup + contact 1-2 of your site-builder friends for website builds on retainer if volume exceeds 5/week.

Your role: You build websites (5 min + 10 min QC = fast). You close deals (you are the trust factor). Hire for CRM setup once you have 4+ paying clients. Use your site-builder friends when builds exceed your capacity. This keeps your time focused on posting + closing, not build fulfillment.

The math: Week 8 revenue: $1,576-$3,564/month. Your time investment: ~15 hours/week (posting, building, qualifying, closing). That's $105-237 per hour of your time. This is your right-now money while you build Operator OS, rank-and-rent, and everything else.
