Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a GHL account before starting?

No — we can start on a trial, or you can use a fully configured sub-account from Blogrator at $29/month and skip the $97 starter plan entirely. The planning call sorts this out.

How do I pay? There's no payment button.

Book the free 30-minute planning call first. We agree what you need, then you pay $10 per session via PayPal or Stripe link. Nothing is charged before we've spoken.

Can I book just one topic — say, workflows?

Yes. Hours 5–6 (automation) and hour 9 (SaaS mode) are the most-booked single sessions at $10 each. Any hour stands alone.

Is there a free version of this course?

Yes — our free 66-lesson GHL video course covers the concepts self-paced. These live hours are for building YOUR account with someone who does this for clients daily. Many students watch free lessons between paid hours to stretch their budget.

You also sell GHL setup as a service. Why teach it?

Some people want it done ($250 setup + $29/mo, we build everything). Some want to own the skill. Same system either way — the planning call helps you pick, with zero pressure toward the pricier option.

Who teaches it?

Ranjan Barman — 10 years on Fiverr, 743 orders, 5.0 rating across 340 reviews. GHL implementation is Blogrator's most in-demand service line; you learn from live client builds, not tutorials.
