Hosting & Coaching "Pricing"

@diane -

Hi all,

As some of you may know, I was a premium member prior to the plus level. (We know where...😎.)

I mention this because I run more than just a couple of websites (7 active) and am paying the annual $299.

I really am interested in what you guys are offering in both hosting and coaching, and would switch in a heartbeat if what you offer is comparable.

Could we switch between levels? Say I need more help at first, then only need the monthly attention?

Or, say, new websites get weekly coaching for the first month, then monthly? (another level option, maybe)?

That's all I can think of right now, but I'm sure I will have more to say...grin.

Thanks!

Rudy

@andy Thanks a lot Andy. Helpful as always.

@yusuf I agree with Andy , very happy with the hosting of WPX. I had them create a subdomain as well, no problems at all. I even got some answers from their free chat, when I wasn't even paying for it yet.
At WA, there were several down times per year, sometimes even half a day, and apparently it happened again last week.
Wpx is faster, support is more helpful and quick (if you need it), and they don't leave you waiting with a response like "I will turn this over to another department' , or something like that, not to be heard from again. It was bloody horrible!

I see that there are still people having issues with site comments , when not giving comments through the WA system, but from the outside. I found out that there were issues with that when I was still hosted at WA,when I was giving away Etsy vouchers with a draw. To participate, I made people subscribe to my newsletter and comment on one of my blog posts that I wanted to promote. It was a disaster with people coming back to me to say they couldn't!

Apparently this is still the case, (as I have been pm'ing with someone about this again) until you find out by coïncedince that this still gives certain errors. All these things you don't know about until you need it.

Non of these issues at WPX at all.

Oh yeah, another thing, this silly message people get on their WA sites 'server waiting' or something like that. Have you ever seen that on any other site? It looks sooo suspicious to see this from an outsider point of view, no?

THe 25 bucks per month is for 5 sites, totally worth it.

@ohnoo_not_her Thank you very much.

Yeah, I had the same problem with comments on my chess site. I had someone who found me on Medium send me a PM telling me they really liked my articles, but they were unable to leave comments for some reason.

I tried it, and yes, most comments weren't registering.

That was very frustrating, because not only was it going to be my first ever unsolicited comment on my website, but it also had me thinking that I missed out on many comments because most of the time, the person wouldn't bother sending you a message or an email complaining that they weren't able to comment, right?

Will definitely keep WPX in mind. Thanks again Lizzy.

Hello everyone,

My name is Juniper, but you can all call me Ms. Berry.

I come from an alternate reality and I possess powers beyond your capabilities, and this is why I have taken over an account of a forum member to respond (this is part of my powers).

Anyway, in my alternate reality I have been a member of an internet marketing platform known as WONKY Affiliate.

I have been a member for 7 years, I love it, and I must say that the owners, Lyle and Jarson, are just so helpful and always coming up with new stuff.

I feel like I owe my life to Wonky Affiliate, as they have saved me from spending thousands of dollars on Scam products where you never make any money... Thank you, Lyle and Jarson.

Anyway, as I say, I have been a member of Wonky Affiliate for 7 years and have been on their monthly Creamium membership of $49.

I have consistently paid Wonky Affiliate $49 every single month for the last 7 years, so that's 84 payments of $49.

As I've mentioned, I am so happy that Lyle and Jarson have created their platform, as they have saved me from spending thousands of dollars on things that don't work.

In fact, I cannot be thankful enough to wonky affiliate for everything I have learned over the last 7 years, the education and knowledge I have gained over the past 7 years, without having to spend 1000s of dollars of scam products is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.

That being said, I would be interested to see what you have to offer in terms of hosting and coaching.

Of course, I still love Wonky Affiliate and I wouldn't be where I am today without them.

Admittedly, I haven't made any money yet, but I've started to see recent success through following their training and using their AI writer.

My latest article is ranking in position 134 on Google, Amazing, right?

Anyway, as I've mentioned, I am so happy with how far I have come over the last 7 years and so glad that Lyle and Jarson have saved me from spending 1000s of dollars on scam products that don't work.

Okay, I must admit that I came across someone at Wonky Affiliate who people used to rave about, but I never found her to be much help.

Her name was Martha.

I actually spent over a month trying to get help from Martha, but every time I asked for some coaching and help, she would return with a 2,000 to 3,000 word message, including screenshots, links to what she was talking about, etc.

I mean, COME ON, who's got time to read a 2,000 to 3,000 word response every time you ask a question.

In fact, I asked her 7 questions over the course of a couple of weeks, and each tme, without fail, I was greeted with these long responses with screenshots of how to do everything that was mentioned, etc.

Ridiculous, that Martha expects me to take a few hours out of my day to read whatever she was sending me, I mean, how selfish of Martha, all I wanted was one paragraph to tell me how to make money online, not a bloody novel.

Of course, I never read anything she sent me, never mind took action on it, who's got the time.

Anyway, I hope the coaching you offer here is better than what Martha tried to offer.

Also, I am used to losing my Google rankings every year due to the amount of downtime that Wonky Affiliate's hosting has.

I mean, come on Google, what is wrong with you, we all know that if you're going to get the best hosting in the world, you should regularly have downtime (which should never be explained to the members, but merely glossed over) on a monthly basis.

Can you believe some of the hosting companies never have downtime, never have issues, never have problems logging into WordPress?

Ridiculous, i mean it's just not right is it if everything works perfectly the way it should, where's the fun in that?

Anyway, I would like to take your offer of better hosting with no downtime and no problems, I would also like to take up personal 1-on-1 coaching, which is infinitely better than the same standard training for everyone, however, I would like to pay LESS than I currently do.

So, that is better hosting and better coaching than I currently have, but for a lower price please.

I mean, you must understand that I have spent $4,200 over the years at Wonky Affiliate, so I cannot be expected to pay any more.

In fact, you should really be giving this to me for free.

Furthermore, please don't tell me you have someone like Martha to do the coaching, what a ridiculous person.

I was happily paying Lyle and Jarson $49 and then when I asked for help from Martha, she spent about 30 hours sending me ridiculous replies of exactly what to do, but in long-form format, so I never have time to read.

Come on Martha, I pay Lyle and Jarson $49/month, so YOU Martha should be helping me MORE than you do.

So, in summary, I have spent a lot of money over the years, but I am thankful for Lyle and Jarson saving me 1000s of dollars on scam products where you never make any money. I haven't made any money yet, but the knowledge I have gained in the last 7 years is unbelievable, so much so, that my latest article ranked in position 134.

I don't want coaching from someone like Martha, who simply makes everything complicated by going into too much detail, so keep the coaching simple, just tell me how to make money.

I am currently paying $49/month, but would like your BETTER hosting and BETTER training for a LOWER price than I am currently paying.

In reality, I would prefer that you provide me the hosting and coaching for FREE, while I continue to pay Lyle and Jarson the $49/month that they clearly deserve.

I think that about covers it, thank you!!!!!!!!

WHAT????????

I'm ALLOWED!!!!!!

THIS! VERY FRUSTRATING and a HUGE WASTE OF TIME TO GET IT FIXED! And their speed goes down immensely, once you try to monetize your site with adds, and then Google punishes you again because of the low speed. AND, you can't use a plugin to fix the speed LOL! They block your site with an error if you try to use WP rocket!

I am so happy that I don't need to waste my time on all of this any longer.

I am interested, but not quite certain in what yet.

I liked what Rudy had to say about having an option to switch between levels, especially because I feel I will have a much clearer idea of what I want after I give things a go for a month or so.

And with that same thought in mind, what about a one-off/one-month evaluation and coaching option and at the end of that if you decide to sign up for a year of coaching then a prorated discount on the year? And if not, you just pay whatever you pay for the one-off service. The initial experience might help a lot of people get clarity (and you coaches, too) about what kind of annual package would make sense in terms of where the person's business is and where they wish to go with it?

I might be interested in coaching and hosting, but personally I would definitely like to see a coaching option separate from hosting.

Thanks ... interested to see how this develops. :)

Let’s not forget all the really helpful people on live chat who would just give you links to training instead of sending you 3,000 word replies giving you the actual answers.

I believe one was called Gabby or something like that!

I’m not 100% but I’m pretty sure there was an internal ranking at Wonky Affiliate where if you commented on live chat, even if it was nonsense, your ranking would go up!!

Oh, and then there’s all the useful, informative blogs about Frisatsu and people’s holidays, what people got up to that day and other such joyous articles that really helped with my quest to make money as an affiliate marketer!!

At least Martha actually tried to help even if people saw it as something else!! :wink: {blue}:laugh:

@partha Thanks for a great dosage of vitamin C. It resonates with me, too.

You seem to be very well covered here Tony. If you need anything else do let me know. In the meantime, here's some strawberries and a pic of my dog.

@partha Does that mean you haven’t sorted a price yet :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

@partha You really just said that! 🤣 🤣

"Thanks Lyle and Jarson for making my article ranking position 134!" 🤣 🤣 🤣

Honestly, I have no other reason for staying at Wonky Affiliate more than my websites are hosted there. Like at this point I am only wasting money. I am not active at all there.

Hosting & coaching is of interest. Currently just have 2 websites online but in a mess as I lost interest/motivation for a while due to several reasons.

I am using WPX.net and One.com for my hosting needs. WPX is by far superior in every way. One is OK, but support is not always the best.

Just hosting I think 49 USD is a good figure. For a hosting & coaching package I am thinking somewhere between 49USD to 100USD would be in the ballpark.

@jonathan It's funny you're jumping at the Wonky Affiliate nomenclature when you were Gabby's best friend in the Live Chat with your lovely lololololols you shared together.

In fact, I'm surprised Juniper's story didn't feature a Monathan. 😂

@yusuf Can you blame me??

All the congratulation for just being indexed in Google, like if they are now going to be multimillionaire or something. 🤣

I don't think I have been active there for a month or 2.

(also, what Partha said was just a bit to funny).

@partha 😂😂

Totally understand where you're coming from Partha, but I'd like to point out that the money I've spent online has been on various courses — WA is only a small part of it.

I know you weren't necessarily responding to me, especially because I haven't even been a member for one year, let alone 7.

Well, maybe you were, but hey, I understand.

Once more, I really appreciate how helpful you, Diane, and Andy have been on WA as well as here. I would definitely say that getting to know people like you is the best thing I got out of my membership, and I don't know if you saw it, but this is something I mentioned in the WA review I wrote.

In any case, I just wanted to share my opinion on the fee I'd be comfortable with for now, and again, I totally understand if it fell so short of your valuation. You said there were no right or wrong answers, right? And as long as I didn't get that two-word response, I'm content. 😂

P.S. The reason I asked Lizzy about WPX is because I knew $25 per month (which she said she was paying) was too little for hosting and coaching, so I wanted to see where else I can host once I leave WA.

Partha, if it's only hosting for a single website, what monthly fee would you be okay with? I'm looking forward to hearing back from you guys.

Also, I would be interested in a one-time coaching service that I can pay for whenever I need guidance, so not necessarily a monthly or weekly checkup, but a paid consultation to nudge me in the right direction. I'm not sure, but I think you already have something like that for $27?

I'll happily second that 😊

Partha may come across as a bit brash to some (I found it very refreshing at WA in all honesty), but his heart is in the right place!
