Do The Math

The Monthly Price

So the monthly price for September remains at $200, but there will be a $10 per video charge to do the videos on top of the 200. I'm using 3 videos a week as the baseline, so if it turns out to actually be 3 a week or 12 a month, the total extra would be $120 (12 x $10 = $120).

Here's how that works: $200 before the 1st, plus $60 for the first two weeks (estimated to be for six videos). So at the beginning of the first month, September, you pay 260, and then on the 15th, you'd pay for the second two weeks, and that number depends on how many videos you actually used the prior two weeks. The price on the 15th is adjusted up or down depending on the previous two weeks' usage — if you only used 5, you send $50 for the back half. If you used 7, you send $70. At the end of the month we do it again — same look back at the last two weeks, and whatever the difference is, it adjusts the next payment up or down. You never pay for a video you didn't use, and I never chase you for one you did. It's about as fair as this gets.

You Hire Me To Build You A Page

Or, you hire me right now pretty much, to build you a page - not a WordPress page that you can't use on your phone, a straight HTML coded page that you CAN use on your phone easily.

You go to the page and there are clearly identified input boxes. You just paste or type the picks in the box and they appear like magic in the spot on the site right where they are now.

There will also be a video upload button for cover and for members. As for customers, It will LOOK exactly the same. But now you - or Ashley - can do the posting as easily and in the same amount of time, maybe even less time, than it takes her to write and send me the email every night. Instead of sending the email, have her go to the page and just type the picks in there.

The Videos

As for the videos, anything large, like larger than 25MB, or so, need to be compressed before they're uploaded so they don't stress the server or frustrate visitors, and that can be built right in too - but to do that part would up the price by $500. The less expensive way: as long as the video is under 25MB, you upload it right on this same page and it works fine. The only time you wouldn't really want to just do that is if the video is bigger than 25MB. My advice here is not to spend the extra $500 - it will take you ten years to use up $500 worth of video uploads at $10 each. Plus, I mean, if the video is 27MB, you can save the $10 and just upload it. But if you have a problem, easy peasy, I'm right here. Send a Cash App for $10 and the video and I got you. Maybe I yell at you sometimes, but is there anybody more reliable than me?

Most likely scenario is that you/Ashley do all the picks yourself (no more $200 a month fee to pay me), probably MOST of the videos yourself, and in the event that you have a video that you need help with, just send it to me with a Cash App for $10 and I'll do it for you.

One Time. That's It.

I hope you're not thinking "big number, $800's a lot." Well, it's not $200, but it's one time. Four more months - and they fly by - and this thing just got paid for, and you have no more $200 monthly payments to update Ashley's site. Ever. It's most importantly not that it's a big number, it's the last number - you write it once and you're done.

Can we please (there, I said it, lol), honor our so very long friendship, through thick and thin, and give this thing the immediate attention it deserves?

By now you should already be solidly down the road of "wow, this really is a no-brainer, this is very nice of Marc to be cutting himself out of this monthly payment thing."

Well, I'm offering to do this for you now because I can do this now for you. A few months ago I wasn't capable. Now I'm cyborg enhanced - with my coding tools I can pretty much do anything. But the tools cost money and it still takes time. But it's still a good amount less than it would've cost less than a year ago. I love doing this work, and the pricing here is absolutely fair.

Why pay for August in a few days? There's serious consideration here for you to give to getting this done sooner rather than later. Every 30 days it costs you $200 more to not act. Think about that. But don't think for too long, because I want to start working on this TODAY.

Are you able to help me do that? I'll take $50 off for moving now instead of later. $450 now, balance of $300 on the 15th of next month, so just about three weeks later.

If it happens tomorrow or Monday instead, no hard feelings, we just do it at $500/$300. But I'd rather pay you $50 for a fast, respectful yes, than spend the next four days waiting on an answer we both already know what its going to be, especially if we actually both do already know.
