Avatar Authority Pricing: $5,000 Setup, $3,500/Month

The $5,000 setup fee is a one-time charge that builds your digital avatar and gets the entire production and publishing system ready to run. Here is exactly what it covers — no mystery, no vague 'onboarding' line items.

Avatar build session. A 60–90 minute recorded session where we capture your likeness, voice, and on-camera mannerisms. This is the raw material for your digital avatar.

Avatar production. We render, train, and calibrate the avatar so it looks and sounds like you. You review and approve the output before anything goes further.

Initial content strategy. We map the 12–15 questions your customers ask most — matched to your specific trade — so every video answers something a real buyer is searching for.

First month's scripts drafted. All 30 scripts for month one are written in your voice and sitting in your inbox for approval before a single frame is rendered.

Platform account setup. Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Facebook — configured, connected, and ready to publish.

Publishing workflow configuration. Your review-and-approve process is built before launch. Nothing goes live without your sign-off.

You pay $5,000 once. You never rebuild the avatar or redo the strategy unless you choose to.

Every month, you get 30 finished, published short-form videos. Break that down: $3,500 ÷ 30 videos = $116 per published, platform-ready video. A single shoot day with a local crew costs more than that before editing starts.

Here is the complete monthly deliverable set:

• 30 short-form vertical videos (60–90 seconds each), scripted from your real trade expertise
• Your review-and-approve step before any video goes live — nothing posts without your sign-off
• Publishing to Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Facebook every month
• Monthly performance report: views, reach, follower growth, and inbound inquiry volume attributed to video

You film nothing. You attend no shoot days. You answer an approval ping from your phone and move on to the next job. The content keeps shipping whether you're on a service call or asleep at 11 PM. That is the entire point.

Video content does not work like pay-per-click. When you stop running Google Ads, the leads stop the same day. Video compounds.

A video you publish in month two keeps getting views in month eight, month fourteen, two years from now. The asset depreciates slowly — if at all — as long as the question it answers stays relevant. An HVAC video titled "How do I know if my AC is dying?" pulls organic search traffic every summer, indefinitely.

The gut-check math is simple. These are illustrative scenarios with stated assumptions, not guaranteed outcomes: if your average job ticket is $3,500 and one inbound call from your video content closes that job in a given month, the month is paid for. If your average job is $1,200, you need three calls. Your actual conversion rate and close rate will determine what this looks like for your business.

The structural difference from paid ads is the most important part. Thirty videos published in month one plus thirty in month two means sixty indexed assets working by month three. The contractor who ran ads and stopped has zero. Content compounds. Ads rent attention. That is the full logic — no inflated projections attached.

Avatar Authority at $3,500/month covers production and publishing. It does not cover the following — and you should know this before you sign up.

Paid media spend. If you want to boost posts or run ads against the videos, that budget is yours to control separately. We do not manage ad spend.

Third-party platform fees. If TikTok, Meta, or YouTube introduce creator fees or change their terms, that is between you and the platform.

Optional behind-the-scenes footage. If you want to add real on-camera clips of your crew in the field, that filming is not included. You shoot it yourself, or you hire a local crew for it.

Compliance review for regulated trades. If your state or trade association requires a compliance check before content goes live, that is added per engagement — not standard.

Everything needed to produce and publish 30 avatar videos per month is included. Everything on this list is not. No surprises after you sign.

You have three realistic options for short-form video content as a contractor. Here is an honest look at all of them.

Option 1: Local video crew. Industry estimates put a single-day shoot with editing at $1,500–$3,000, yielding 4–8 finished videos. At that rate, producing 30 videos per month costs roughly $5,600–$11,250 — and you still show up to every shoot day. Your time is on-site and on camera, every session.

Option 2: Freelance editor, you film yourself. Cheaper upfront. But you are the bottleneck. You film, send footage, wait for edits, approve, and repost — while running a business. Most contractors start this and quit by month three because it competes directly with paying jobs.

Option 3: Avatar Authority at $3,500/month. You film nothing after the setup session. Thirty videos ship monthly. The trade-off is real: a digital avatar is not identical to raw, on-camera footage, and for some audiences, authentic rough video outperforms polished avatar content. We are transparent about that. For contractors who know they will never consistently show up to film — which is most of them — Avatar Authority produces ten times more content at a fraction of local crew costs.
