GuestMay 15, 2026 at 3:10 amdone-with-you sounds great on paper but the back-and-forth can absolutely kill your margins if you dont set hard boundaries upfront. the clients who want “collaboration” often end up being the ones pinging you on slack at 11pm asking why their rankings dropped 2 positions.
the way to make it actually scalable is to productize the hell out of it, fixed monthly deliverable like a strategy doc, a loom walkthrough, and one async Q&A round, thats it. you stop treating it like consulting and start treating it like a course with accountability. keeps scope creep from eating you alive.
