The parts people skip

Budget attention, not just money. Island hopping on a schedule works when one person owns it and reviews it weekly for a month. After that it mostly runs itself.

Pick one number to watch. For island hopping on a schedule it is usually completed actions — bookings, orders, replies — not visits. Visits flatter you; completions pay you.

How much it should cost

Write for the person who is tired, on a bus, on a cracked screen. If island hopping on a schedule works for them it works for everyone else too.
