PRICING and Why You are NOT Charging Enough! - Making Awesome S3E32

This week let's talk about pricing! We often get comments about how to price a product, a job, etc. Valuing your time is incredibly important and most do not value it enough essentially working for nothing trying to compete at the lowest cost. Often, the average consumer is not your customer, especially if you are looking to take this hobby and go full time job on it, so, lets talk all about pricing and why it matters so much more than you think!
Topics to cover:
What is a reasonable price to charge for your time?
Why is it reasonable?
What is unreasonable when it comes to pricing your time?
How much should you charge for 3D Printing?
Should you compete on price?
What if you are not the cheapest?
Pricing for your target market!
AND MORE!!!

Id be interested more to hear about bringing the product to market, subcontractors and cnc milling parts etc, maybe the wrong channel, this talk was more about selling the 3d prints themselves but in my case it would be more for prototyping

[@3DMusketeers]

I feel like we have talked about it, but I can certainly do one again if you'd like. The steps to make stuff can be an upcoming episode.

[@rodiculous9464]

​@@3DMusketeersif you have no worries, I am new to the channel so I will just check your older vids, thanks for replying

[@3DMusketeers]

okay, if you have issues let me know!

Hey Grant, hope the Birthday Dinner with your Dad is going great! Question, no reply on the Live Chat? I had to drop off the livestream early.

[@3DMusketeers]

huh? did I miss your question or something?

[@tombo7719]

$150/hr is based. In agreements, have a spot they can sign off on if anything changes, it will be more $$.. they know it, they sign for it, it incentives them to get their stuff right the 1st time, and they cannot blame you for their lack of planning/communicating.

[@3DMusketeers]

we do something similar, however base it on 150/hr to help them understand better how the pricing is made

[@ronnyroethof]

30% taxes.. man I would kill for that :) over here it starts at 42% or something, 49,50% for me.. every $ I earn, half of it goes to the taxes :(

[@3DMusketeers]

gotta love it :/

[@theglowcloud2215]

Makes a strong argument for getting paid under the table

[@rebaziemann3526]

[@3DMusketeers]
