Where things usually break

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.

Almost every failure we have seen with island hopping on a schedule traces back to skipping the boring middle: naming things clearly, writing the confirmation message, testing on a real phone with real thumbs.

How much it should cost

Keep a short log of what you changed and what happened. Six months of notes about island hopping on a schedule is worth more than any course.

Price it end to end. A cheap start plus a year of patching is rarely cheaper than getting island hopping on a schedule right the first time, and the patching arrives when you are busiest.
