I want to tell you about the $30 Website Problem.

You probably spend more on your phone bill than your business infrastructure. Most struggling creators do.

I learned this taking tech support calls at GoDaddy. Someone would call screaming about their broken website, demanding we fix it for free.

“It’s my livelihood!” they’d yell.

Then I’d check their account: $30/month total spend, bargain-basement hosting, zero investment in actually learning their tools.

Here’s what I’d do.

I’d ask about their cell phone bill. Usually $100+.

Then I’d explain the math: If you don’t know how to fix it, you need someone who does. That knowledge costs money. Always has, always will.

I’d lay out exactly what was broken, how I’d fix it, what it would cost, and how long it would take.

No bullshit. No upselling.

Just the truth about what solving their problem actually required.

Nine times out of ten, they’d pay. Not because they liked it, but because arguing with that logic was foolish. By the end of the call, they’d trust me enough to ask what else they needed.

More sales. Better results.

Exactly what I promised.

The lesson: If you’re not investing in your business, you don’t have a business. You have a hobby.

And if you can solve someone’s problem, charge for it. Your knowledge isn’t free, and pretending it should be helps nobody.
