$49 is a number, not a price. A price comes from value, an anchor, and
tiers — here's how to get there, and $49 almost certainly leaves money
on the table if the course delivers a real outcome.

START FROM VALUE, NOT COST
The question isn't "what's a course worth" — it's "what's the OUTCOME
worth." A course that helps someone land a $15K freelance client is
priced against that $15K, not against other courses. Name the outcome in
dollars first; the price follows.

THE ANCHOR PROBLEM WITH A SINGLE $49
One price has nothing to compare against, so $49 reads as "cheap course"
— which signals low value in exactly the market where price signals
quality. You need something to anchor against.

TIER STRUCTURE — three, designed so the middle wins
  CORE        $79    the course itself
  COMPLETE    $199   ← the target. course + templates + a group call
  COHORT      $499   course + live cohort + direct access, capped seats

  Most buyers land on COMPLETE because CORE feels thin next to it and
  COHORT anchors the ceiling. You've turned "$49, take it or leave it"
  into "which of these," which converts higher AND at a higher average.

WHY NOT JUST RAISE $49 TO $199 FLAT
Because a lone $199 has the same anchor problem in reverse — it reads as
expensive with nothing to justify it. The tiers justify each other.

PAYMENT PLANS
Offer COMPLETE as $199 or 3×$79. The plan makes the higher tier
accessible without discounting it, and it lifts conversion on the tier
you actually want people to pick.

THE ONE INPUT THAT SETS ALL OF THIS
What outcome does the course produce, and what's that worth to the buyer?
Tell me that and I'll set the three tier prices against it — $49 is
likely the CORE floor, not the whole offer.
