Nah, it sounds more like a Greatest Hits album of everything I already knew than anything new or exciting.
Also all cults are pretty much the same anyway - they just relabel stuff and copy the same organization structure.

If cults are that simple do you think there is an untapped market available for someone to set up a cult-in-a-box business and profit off these ideas? You could have a subscription service where you give out cult support and maybe some basic documentation on how to set it up. Maybe take a modest ~10%-20% cut of all revenue generated to turn a profit? It might work.

Scientology has something similar with "missions" where you can set up your own little Church of Scientology in exchange for paying royalties and offer the entry-level services. It's just like running a McDonalds franchise really. They used to be called Franchises as well, but changed the name to Mission because it was too "commercial" sounding.
These could be rather lucrative in the past, but Scientology stopped expanding some time ago. From what I can tell, you had to get in by the '80s though and the party wound down after that.
I don't think it's needed though. The template is standardized enough anyone can start their own, the same way if you wanted to be a realtor you can just Google and find out how to become one in a few minutes. The problem is, you need a lot of charisma and drive to pull it off and 99% of people lack this.
All you need to do is Google "cult warnings checklist" and implement this list:

The group is focused on a living leader to whom members seem to display excessively zealous, unquestioning commitment.
The group is preoccupied with bringing in new members.
The group is preoccupied with making money.
Questioning, doubt, and dissent are discouraged or even punished.
Mind-numbing techniques (such as meditation, chanting, speaking in tongues, denunciation sessions, debilitating work routines) are used to suppress doubts about the group and its leader(s).
The leadership dictates sometimes in great detail how members should think, act, and feel (for example: members must get permission from leaders to date, change jobs, get married; leaders may prescribe what types of clothes to wear, where to live, how to discipline children, and so forth).
The group is elitist, claiming a special, exalted status for itself, its leader(s), and members (for example: the leader is considered the Messiah or an avatar; the group and/or the leader has a special mission to save humanity).
The group has a polarized us-versus-them mentality, which causes conflict with the wider society.
The group’s leader is not accountable to any authorities (as are, for example, military commanders and ministers, priests, monks, and rabbis of mainstream denominations).
The group teaches or implies that its supposedly exalted ends justify means that members would have considered unethical before joining the group (for example: collecting money for bogus charities).
The leadership induces guilt feelings in members in order to control them.
Members’ subservience to the group causes them to cut ties with family and friends, and to give up personal goals and activities that were of interest before joining the group.
Members are encouraged or required to live and/or socialize only with other group members.
Obviously it's phrased as a warning, but if you are even trivially imaginative you can read it as a business plan/mission statement for your new religious movement.
