Optional Services & Usage-Based Pricing

Your Content Creator Machine (CCM) membership includes unlimited users, unlimited contacts, and zero platform fees. Any revenue you generate through the platform is 100% yours. Your subscription price never changes.

So where do the extra charges come in? When you use certain advanced features inside Content Creator Machine (CCM), like sending emails, text messages, or using AI tools, those services are powered by third-party infrastructure providers. We have to pay them for every email sent, every text message delivered, and every AI request processed. Instead of inflating your subscription to cover costs you may never use, we pass those charges through to you at cost.

That means we're not trying to profit from your usage. We're simply giving you access to the same infrastructure that powers major businesses, at the exact price it costs us to provide it.

On top of that, we cover your first $5 of usage every single month out of our own pocket. If your total usage across all optional services stays under $5, you pay nothing beyond your Content Creator Machine (CCM) membership. Most beginners never exceed that.

If you're new to running an online business, seeing an extra charge on your Content Creator Machine (CCM) account can feel alarming. That's completely understandable. But here's what most software companies do instead: they charge you based on how many contacts you have sitting in your account, whether you email them or not.

Here's a real example from our own business. Before we built Content Creator Machine (CCM), we used a popular email platform called ActiveCampaign. Because we had 300,000 contacts in our account, they charged us around $2,000 per month, even though we were only sending about 50,000 emails per month. We weren't emailing all 300,000 people. We were paying $2,000 a month just to have those contacts stored in a database. That's $24,000 per year.

When we moved to Content Creator Machine (CCM), sending those same 50,000 emails costs about $30 per month. Same emails, same results, $1,970 in savings every single month. That money now goes back into building better courses, better tools, and a better platform for you.

That's the whole reason we built Content Creator Machine (CCM) this way. We didn't create this platform as a profit center. We built it to give our students access to professional-grade business infrastructure at the lowest possible cost, so beginners aren't crushed by massive software bills before they've made their first dollar.

If you're in the early stages of building your business and have a small list (say 500 to 1,000 contacts), your email usage inside Content Creator Machine (CCM) will almost certainly fall within the $5 monthly credit we already cover for you. In other words, your emails are free.

Let's say your list grows and you're sending around 7,000 emails per month. At $0.0007 per email, that's about $4.90, still under the $5 credit. You're paying nothing extra.

Now let's say you double that and you're sending 14,000 emails per month. Your total cost would be about $9.80, minus the $5 credit, so you'd pay roughly $4.80 for the month. That's less than a cup of coffee for access to a professional email marketing system.

And here's the thing: if you're sending 14,000 emails, that means you have thousands of people on your list who raised their hand and said, "I'm interested in what you're selling." Business owners typically find that each email subscriber is worth somewhere between $1 and $5 per month. If you have 5,000 subscribers, your list should be generating $5,000 to $25,000 per month from the products and services you sell. The $4.80 you're spending on email to reach those people is practically free marketing.

Compare that to paid advertising, where it can cost $50 to $100 just to retarget a single person. With your email list, you're essentially retargeting your entire audience for pennies. That's why email is one of the highest Return On Investment (ROI) marketing channels in online business.

If you're at the point where your usage costs are going up, that means your business is growing. That's a good problem to have.

You can see exactly what you're being charged for and why at any time inside your Content Creator Machine (CCM) account. Just go to Settings > Billing inside CCM. Everything is fully transparent, broken down by service so you know exactly where every cent went.

Service-by-Service Breakdown

Below is a detailed look at each optional service available inside Content Creator Machine (CCM), what it costs, and what that looks like in practice. Remember, the first $5 of total usage across all of these optional services (email, SMS, AI tools, etc.) is covered by us every month.

Phone System

The built-in phone system inside Content Creator Machine (CCM) lets you send and receive SMS text messages, make and receive phone calls, and automate voice workflows, all without needing a separate phone provider.

Why it matters: Having your own business phone number makes you look professional, lets you track conversations with leads, and automates follow-ups without lifting a finger. You can text, call, and even leave voicemails automatically, all from one place inside CCM.

Rates for the Content Creator Machine phone system:

A "segment" is how phone carriers measure SMS length. A standard text message under 160 characters equals 1 segment. Longer messages are automatically split into multiple segments, and each segment is billed separately.

What $10 of phone usage gives you (after subtracting the $5 monthly credit): approximately 680 minutes of outbound calls, or 1,125 minutes of inbound calls, or 1,205 text message segments.

Important: US business texting requires A2P 10DLC carrier registration. A2P 10DLC (Application-to-Person 10-Digit Long Code) is a registration process required by US phone carriers (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile) for any business that sends text messages through a software platform. It's a legal requirement designed to reduce spam and verify that your business is a legitimate sender. The registration process involves verifying your business identity and describing how you plan to use text messaging.

If that sounds complicated, don't worry. Our team handles the entire A2P 10DLC registration process for you at no charge so you can focus on building your business. Just reach out to [email protected] to request this service.

Rates shown above are for US and Canada. International calling and SMS rates vary by country.
