Great article! A bit disconnected from the average Joe trying to make some extra money. Not everyone has a skillset that customers are willing to spend $250 on for their "value line" upsells. You also have a highly published credential that easily markets your services where many others do not.
I'm not saying any of this to criticize, but to more realistically frame your plan and products for those that may have come across this article without a firmly established product line and the public recognition to make this plan work for them.
