We all gotta make money! But for some reason, no one ever wants to talk numbers, which keeps us all in the dark🙊
So in the latest episode of our podcast, we are gonna get into the nitty gritty of how to price your work. We’ll be talking about:
Day rates, and when to use them
Charging for usage in illustration (How will an image be used? How many copies? For how long?)
Five factors to keep in mind when pricing a job (money, exposure, service, personal interest, networking)
Tactics for negotiating (you can negotiate for more than just money!)
Be sure to figure out your bottom line, and know that it can change based on your overall financial picture
The value of agents. A good one can get you work and do all the negotiating for you!
Whether you should you ever work for free (ie just for exposure)?
