In this episode, Chris Do is joined by special guest Paco de Leon to explore the concept of inversion thinking when it comes to pricing creative projects. Can charging less actually benefit creatives in the long run? Join us as we delve into the arguments for and against charging more for creative work.
Many creatives struggle with pricing their projects effectively, often leading to undervaluing their work and ultimately working more for less. However, by embracing the idea of charging more, we can unlock a range of benefits that positively impact not only individual creatives but the industry as a whole.
Through a series of insightful arguments, Chris and Paco dismantle the commonly held beliefs about charging less and instead highlight the advantages of charging more. By charging higher rates, creatives can experience increased profitability, work less, and produce higher-quality work. Additionally, they can attract better clients, receive fair treatment, and foster a healthier economy.
Charging more also brings about positive societal changes. As creatives collectively raise their prices, the value of creativity in society rises. This creates opportunities to serve diverse demographics, help non-profit organizations through pro bono work, and inspire the next generation of creatives to aim higher. Furthermore, charging more allows for the hiring of top talent, enhancing the overall transformative impact on both the individual and the industry.
Join Chris and Paco in this eye-opening conversation as they explore the transformative power of charging more for creative services. Discover how adopting a new mindset around pricing can not only benefit your career but also contribute to a world where creativity, art, and design are truly valued.
