A GoBeaug Links Membership Price Update (and Why I Made This Call)

Share this post

Hey, it's Sammy.

I want to talk with you about something important: the price of GoBeaug Links Pro. I'd rather you hear it straight from me, with the reasons behind it, than just see a new number on the join page.

What's changing

Right now, Pro is $40 a year. That's our founding price, and it stays in place through January 1, 2027.

Starting January 2, 2027, Pro will be $300 a year for new members.

And when any membership renews, founding members included, the renewal is $300 a year.

When I first planned this, the next step was going to be $120, and founding members were going to renew at $120. I've changed that, and I want to explain why.

Why I made this decision

When I started building GoBeaug Links, I knew there would be costs. Honestly, I didn't know how many there would be. Running a platform like this means paying for hosting, the database, email sending, the AI tools behind the Page Generators and blog features, video tools, security, and the software that keeps it all working. Some of those costs grow as we add members and features. Others came up that I just didn't see coming.

A business has to do two things to stay around: pay its bills, and make enough profit to keep investing in the product. If GoBeaug can't do both, it can't keep getting better for you. Worse, it might not be here for the long run at all. I'm not willing to let that happen to something members are building their online presence on.

So I had to make a decision. I believe this is the right move for GoBeaug and for everyone who uses it.

Where the $300 goes

I want to be open about this. Of each $300 membership:

• $80 goes to the company. It covers the costs of running GoBeaug Links and keeps it improving.
• $220 goes to the member who referred the new member, through our referral program.

The member's share used to be planned at $100, and now it's $220. So the change helps keep the company healthy, and it also gives more back to members who share GoBeaug with people it can help.

Referral earnings aren't guaranteed. Results vary, and many people earn nothing. The value of Pro is in the tools you use for your own business.

What you get for it

This isn't a price change with nothing behind it. Look at what's been added to GoBeaug Links already:

• Every Page Generator, current and future, is included in Pro.
• Your own blog and link-in-bio page, so you have pages you own and control.
• A simpler setup with two levels, Social (free) and Pro. No confusing menu of packages.
• Guided, step-by-step setup, so new members always know what to do next.

And we're not done. The plan is to keep improving the platform, adding tools and making it easier to get organic traffic to a page you own. Part of the reason for this change is to fund that work.

If you're already a member

If you joined at the $40 founding price, thank you. You believed in this early, and that matters to me.

I need to be straight with you. I said founding members would renew at $120 a year. With what it really costs to run the platform, I can't sustain that. So when your year is up, your renewal will be the regular price of $300 a year, the same as everyone else.

I know that's not what I told you before, and I don't take that lightly. Your founding year is still yours: a full year of Pro, every Page Generator and everything we add during that year, for $40. Nothing renews by itself. You'll get reminders before your year ends, and you decide whether to renew.

If you've been thinking about joining

The founding price of $40 for your first year is available through January 1, 2027. After that, Pro is $300 a year, and every renewal is $300 a year.

If GoBeaug Links fits what you're building, now is the time to lock in your spot.

Thank you

Decisions like this aren't easy, and I didn't make this one lightly. I'd rather be honest with you and build something that lasts than keep a price that can't support the platform you're counting on.
