The Price of Free: Is It Ever Smart to Give Away Your Creative Work?
If you're unsure of when to charge for your creative work, constantly giving away your talent for free or settling for low-paying gigs, then you are not alone!
Many creatives, especially in Christian circles, struggle with the question of pricing their services, giving discounts, and providing work for free in exchange for "exposure." What's the right approach?
By listening to this episode, you will:
- Get clarity on determining the right time to turn creativity into revenue.
- Realize the critical role of consumer perception in defining a product's or service's value.
- Learn to articulate the true value of your offerings effectively.
- Comprehend the concept of delayed transactions and how it garners future gains.
- Gain insights into when immediate charging becomes the apt choice.
Your worth is intrinsic. God made you amazing. But your work and your efforts and the things you sell are not reflections of your worth. - Allen C. Paul
