Business Development Tuesday — Commanding The Price You Deserve

Your business will only thrive if you know your worth and the value you can bring to others.

Quality over quantity; always. It doesn’t matter if you have been a graphic designer for eight months or a writer for two days, if you can deliver an five-star product that will help a business excel to the next tier, you must charge what you deserve.

Becoming self employed is tough enough. It’ll become even tougher if you’re fighting for 10–20 Fiverr gigs every day in order to survive. Not only will the quality of your work suffer, but you’ll also burn out exponentially, you’ll be working for the wrong reasons, and most importantly, you’ll be attracting the wrong kind of clients. Any prospect who will settle for a bargain deal should expect bargain work with bargain effort.

TRY THIS: (haven’t had one of those in a while) Don’t think about charging based on your experience. Charge your prices based on the results you can deliver. If you have no experience you do this by creating samples or making yourself your own client first. The selling points on your services are the importance of what you’re offering and the value it provides. Keep that in mind when charging your prospective clients.
