Episode notes
Trade Time For Premium Group Programs
- Do stop trading time for dollars and instead package expertise into a premium group program priced $5,000–$10,000.
- Russ Ruffino shows the math: hourly models cap income and wear out clinicians; premium pricing filters for committed clients.
How A $5k Shift Changed Engagement
- Russ shifted from low-ticket products to $5,000 offers and saw engagement, results, and margins improve dramatically.
- He recalls waking up to 500 support tickets after a $27 ebook launch as the turning point.
