I have been watching a few of your videos and all been helpful. I think that I am right into a very vicious circle and it seems like I am not able to get out of it. (More then a year now) My problem is not only that I am not getting paid what I am worth but that I do not know what to decide about my pricing and every time I feel like I have decided of something it gets broken down very fast. My field is photography and there are so many options and possibilities regarding pricing, and massive competition, that it just freezers me. Argh! can’t move! And since I am not set on my pricing I am scared of advertising and know I shouldn’t as I wouldn’t know or ever feel happy about what I tell them! Your video was very helpful but if you ever feel like doing more specific to pricing for photographers out there Ahhh goo forr it pleassee!! All the best to you! Marie

Keeping it real and keeping it simple. Brilliant! I’m guaranteed a giggle AND some knowledge on your channel Derek. Love it. It’s so refreshing. You know, I used to have this problem. Not anymore. Now I charge what I am worth and my students and clients are still getting a great deal, because I give so much to them – (add value) and because I genuinely love them and I love my work. It’s got to be a fair exchange of energy. I think it’s about having a healthy dose (not in the narcissistic sense) of self love, self respect and the most important? Courage. I did at some point have to take a deep breath and up my fees, uncertain of the outcome.
But too true – I agree, stuff the cheap-skates who can’t see your value and appreciate your unique offering. Or (more likely, if you live in an area as affluent as mine) simply want ‘something for nothing/not much’.
IMHO being brave enough to opt for quality over quantity leads to quality AND quantity. As long as you really are genuinely good at what you do – I say, stay true to yourself. Charge what you are worth. Charge what you deserve. I ‘walk my talk’ in my work anyway as I encourage my clients and students to do the same. It would be bogus if I didn’t. So learn about the competition, then forget about them. I know it’s obvious but – you’re not them and they are not you. Trust in that thing that makes you special, then watch the high calibre clients roll in. And make use of the beautiful testimonials you get later, affirming what you trusted yourself to know.

The director approached me and said we charge this client xx per hour and I want you to come to me with a rate you think is fair to charge us out per hour when you do client work (this will be way above my per hour rate at the moment). Are there some sort of guidelines to follow for charging an agency as a freelancer? Should it be 50%? I don’t want to charge her too little or too much, but I also want to be fair.

The biggest aha doesn’t pop up right now but your tip with “so that…” was interesting (into my notebook it goes). It gave me a flashback reminding me of a video I saw quite long time ago about the power of using the word ‘because’.

I find myself in an unpleasant situation because I want to encourage people to live more frugally and “back to basics” as a means of preparing for and coping with hard times. Yet I want them to buy stuff my affiliates and advertisers offer.

The “so that” – formula is something I need to focus on, so that it’s easier for my customers to see the ‘real’ value of my services.

And I did set an unwanted kind of CLIENTs. Just really weird, this morning I woke up and thinking about what I do (website building) and clients I have currently managed. And I am on my text copy right now. Changing everything on my site.

Thank you so much for the ‘reminder’
