Step 3 of 3 · What if you posted more?

Hire more people, or switch to Upfront-AI Scale?

The numbers below assume you kept your current setup and scaled your team up to hit 60 blogs / month (Scale's sweet spot). Here's the calculation: what it would cost you - more headcount at your current hourly rate, plus your outside spend - compared to what Upfront-AI Scale costs for the same 60 blogs. Same output, two very different price tags. And with Scale you get more content, higher quality, faster turnaround, and end-to-end automation.
