Quick pricing checklist
- Start from net/hour you need, then back into list price ÷ 0.70.
- Count prep time — empty seats kill hourly rate faster than the 30% fee.
- Fill seats before raising price; then test +$2–$5 per learner.
- Track 4 weeks of sections; use the average, not your best week.
- Skip PayPal instant transfer if you can — it quietly eats margin.
