High-ticket mentorships are cooked: rev-share mentees earned him six figures each
eptwts · x · 2026-11-16
A creator's first-hand teardown of the info-product/mentorship business: unfiltered $10k mentorships are cashgrabs (90%+ of buyers don't succeed), and high-agency people who'd actually succeed won't pay. He charged $5k initially — mentees hit multiple 6 figures, two hit 7 — then switched to free mentorship with rev-share, and every single mentee has since earned him 6 figures+. He now refuses to sell info outright.
