What it Costs to

Run This Place.

Soon, we will do a fundraising campaign where we’ll ask community members if they can help donate to keep this place running.

Before we do that, we wanted to explain to you what the costs are.

You can also help support the cause by ordering your own leadership journal, or anything from the Shopify store (we’ll be adding tons new products in April that all support total health, so we’re excited to be expanding in that way, also).

We make about $5 per purchase on everything in the store.

That money goes first and foremost into the costs of running this place.

You can browse our full collection by smacking the button below.

  • Domain

    $20 / year

    Each domain that we buy costs roughly $20 per year, depending on what kind of deals are happening at the time.

    This is necessary to have any kind of website, courses, these pages explaining the project, etc.

  • Hosting

    $36 / month

    Each website we have costs $36 every month to keep going.

    If we’re not able to make this payment, the website goes down.

    No more courses, no more website.

  • Shopify

    $39 / month

    The Shopify store helps fund this whole project while providing products in exchange for support.

    If this goes down, we lose a major part of our fundraising ability to keep the project going.

  • Images

    $30 / month

    Producing images for lessons and products takes not one, but two Canva Pro accounts per month.

    The cost for each is $15 per month.

    This helps make the courses more lively and dopamine-producing.

    It also allows us to create beautiful products which you can take home with you!

  • Voice

    $16 / month

    I reached the end of the voice recordings I can host for free.

    If we want to have audio recordings of each course, as well as for other things, we’ll need more space.

    To get more space, we need a SoundCloud Artist Pro subscription.

  • Video

    $30 / month

    We really want to expand into video, and the most engaging way for us to do that cheaply is to use a kinetic text generator.

    The platform we’re looking at for this charges $30 per month to provide the space and video we need.

    This would make lessons more engaging, as well as allow us to expand into YouTube.

  • Email

    $7 / month

    If we want to have professional email campaigns to both promote the site and inform subscribers when new lessons drop, we’ll need to integrate the email platform.

    This will improve the user experience and make the whole operation more professional.
