Bold EditTuesday, 7:009 Pricing Mistakes That Keep Creators Broke
  1. Pricing by the hourHourly rates cap your income at the number of hours you can stand to work. Price the result the client gets, then check that the hours still make sense.
  2. Copying the cheapest competitorThe cheapest offer in your niche is often run by someone who is burning out or about to quit. Match the people you'd like to be in two years instead.
  3. Never raising prices for existing clientsLoyal clients deserve notice, not a permanent discount. Give them 60 days' warning and a clear date, and most will stay.
