Mistake 3: Auto-Convert USD

Mistake: 4% spread loss tiap receive. Fix: hold USD, convert via Wise.

Mistake: only full payment upfront, lose conversion. Fix: offer 2-3× payment plan via PayPal Subscriptions.

Mistake 5: Skip Buyer Protection

Mistake: client hesitant, low conversion. Fix: emphasize Buyer Protection as selling point.

Mistake 6: Vague Refund Policy

Mistake: ambiguous, client dispute. Fix: explicit in contract (e.g., "Full refund within 7 days, no refund after session 1").

Mistake 7: Nggak Issue Receipt
