Alaric Ong Global Revenue (2023)

Alaric Ong reported approximately $1,200,000 in coaching revenue during the first eighteen months following the June-July 2018 launch of the coaching business, which he disclosed during the April 2021 interview. For the month immediately preceding the interview, Ong stated that done-for-you client services through the Apollo Method generated approximately $20,000.

Alaric Ong Global had 1,400 paid students enrolled in its Facebook marketing coaching community as of April 2021. Coaching programs are priced from $500 to $5,000 and are sold on a one-time basis with no recurring subscription component.

The tuition portfolio company charges students $50 to $75 per hour for supplementary lessons. The Apollo Method done-for-you retainer fees range from $1,000 per month on the lower end, with individual project fees such as the $6,700 engagement with a Myanmar preschool business also in the mix. The insurance director client arrangement pays Ong 15% of agent earnings, with an example of a $50,000-per-year agent generating $7,500 annually for Ong under that structure.

Alaric Ong Global generates revenue through three streams: one-time coaching enrollments priced at $500 to $5,000 per student, done-for-you digital marketing retainers and project fees under the Apollo Method brand, and dividend income from 20% equity stakes in two portfolio companies.

The tuition business, in which Ong holds 20% equity, was generating approximately $5,000 per month in revenue as of April 2021, up from $2,500 per month before Ong's advisory involvement began. The social media marketing agency, also a 20% equity holding, operates a five-person call center setting approximately 1,000 appointments per month and was generating $30,000 to $50,000 per month in typical sales, with a peak of $70,000 in a single month. Ong stated the agency was not consistently profitable and that he had not personally received dividends from it, though the tuition business had paid dividends to its investors.

Ong's stated strategy is to use his 1,400-student coaching network as a pipeline for selling small equity stakes in portfolio companies to investors, as demonstrated by the tuition business seed raise. He described plans to sell down his 20% stakes to approximately 10% over time, retaining dividend rights while recycling capital into additional acquisitions. Profitability of Alaric Ong Global itself was not directly discussed in the interview.

Headcount for Alaric Ong Global itself was not discussed in the April 2021 interview. The social media marketing agency in which Ong holds a 20% equity stake operates a call center with five employees, who collectively set approximately 1,000 appointments per month.
