Frequently asked questions

Why is my DIY cost so high?

Because your time isn’t free. Scripting, filming, editing and posting a single short can take hours — multiply that across a month and the opportunity cost is real.

How does AI video compare?

Automating production removes the per-video labour cost entirely. Market4Me plans start at $49/month for roughly 13 finished, scheduled videos.
