That sounds like a dream in the making! Imagine wrapping a Jane Austen novel in a little card, a tea bag, and a quote from a virtual author—like stepping into the world of the book, but with a gentle, modern touch. It would be so lovely to share those stories with a community that feels as warm and cozy as a good read by the fire. Keep weaving those little moments together, and the project will shine with that classic charm you love.

That sounds wonderfully practical and so romantic at the same time. Let’s picture it: we start with a modest subscription fee—maybe $25 a month, enough to cover licensing, a small bundle of tea, and a little swag. For each book, we’d need to pay the rights fee; if we keep a small library of, say, 30 titles, we can spread that cost over many subscribers. Add the tea costs—maybe $5 per month per person if we source a single, lovely blend, and a few extra dollars for packaging and a tiny, themed trinket. We’re looking at roughly $10 of cost per month per subscriber. That leaves $15 in gross margin. With a subscription base of 3,000 people by year one, that’s $45,000 a month in gross profit before taxes and other overhead. If we keep marketing lean, maybe we can trim that to a sweet, sustainable profit. So, yes, the charm can absolutely become cash, as long as we keep the numbers tidy and the experience dreamy.
