The pricing course to help you master how to start charging more for your creative skills in less than a day

Tell me if this sounds familiar…

“I have zero confidence in pricing my work and am constantly undercutting myself to land a job.”

Yep.

“I struggle communicating the value I provide and telling my clients why I’m awesome to work with.”

Uh huh

“I charge my skills by the hour and feel like there isn’t enough hours in the day to serve my clients”

UGH this

“My non-freelancer friends tell me I should just start charging more, but it’s not a simple as that!”

They don’t get it

“I tried charging more and it felt like I just ended up creating more problems than I solved, and now I’m back to charging the same.”

I know all this because I’ve been where you are now.

Desperate to make more dough but not burn the pie once it goes in the oven.

I don’t mind telling you that by now, I’ve burned enough pies and made enough bitter dough that I’ve got this thing down to a fine art.

But I want to help you avoid much of the headaches, heartaches and hunger pains in the world of pricing.

You are sick of saying yes to jobs you end up hating and creating work that you’re never pulling in your folio because you aren’t proud of it.

Every time you send off an invoice, your finger hovers on that send button, terrified that the client doesn’t agree with the price, or the worth.

You want to make more money, but you’re working as many hours in the day as you can find and frankly, you’re burnt out.

And maybe you’re constantly wondering…

Is it even possible for me to enjoy creating work that matters that others find value in as well?

If so, where the hell do I even start and how do I do it?!

But what if…

  • … you could charge for your creative skills with confidence, knowing that you were charging the right fees, AND you were actually profiting from your creative skills and abilities.
  • … you had more time to spend on your own creative projects and pursuits, because you billed for your skills rather that the time you invested in your clients projects.
  • … you could get rid of the feeling of living project to project and protect yourself from the uncertainty and feast or famine feeling so many freelancers hate and run from.

“Jasmine is a gold mine! I’ve been in the graphic design world for over 10 years and I’ve been underpricing myself for the most part of it.
What I’ve learnt from her about usage rights and pricing has totally changed the perspective I work with clients and has brought my design game to a whole new level.“

The First Bites of Pricing Course was lovingly baked for any Designer, Freelancer, or Creative who has ever struggled to price their skills and craves the tools to make it happen.

Whether you’re at the start of your career and just getting your ingredients or you’ve been slicing, dicing and pricing your skills for a while, this course will help you discover more about pricing than you ever thought possible.

Take a peek at the ingredients list…

Fellow menu browser? Same…

Serving differed prices for different appetites. We’ll look at pricing in all its flavours, from Hourly, Project and Value rates, and maybe some flavours you’ve never tried before.

Your mindset is what you bake it after all. We’ll devour the mental game of pricing, looking at why it is so damn hard to put a dollar figure on our skills and actually value what we serve up to our clients.

Now we’re ready to learn how to calculate your crust. We’ll get messy with numbers, measurements and scales and calculate how much you can and should be charging for your creative crust.

Not everyone deserves the pie you serve, right? We’ll cook up the ingredients of a good client and a delicious project, but also look out for spicy red flags and clients behaving badly

There is a wide variety of payment method flavours on offer. We’ll explore how we actually want to get paid and how we can bake more into the deal when it comes to negotiating what’s in the pie.

You can have a finger in all the pies without starting a sticker or apparel label. We’ll browse the buffet and load our plate with a diversified income, to fend off those hunger pains and feed our desire to get paid for what we do.

When everyone wants a slice, it’s time to up the price. We’ll have a look at raising rates and how to make it happen, including the conversions with our clients that we’re now more valuable than before.

You don’t have to eat alone, you can sit with us! We’ll consider the questions that so many freelancers have asked about pricing and freelancing so you know the answers too.

You’re a creative freelancer, and so am I. While I’m not EXACTLY where you are, I do know the “freelance creative” industry very well after being in and amongst it for 14 years.

I can almost guarantee that there’s one main area that’s holding back your success, even if you don’t realise it yourself.

It’s your pricing.

You’ve, undoubtedly, spent a long time and a lot of money perfecting your skills as a creative. You’ve got the gift, the eye, the passion, and the talent. Your work brings people to tears and overflows their heart buckets.

Your work is sensational and speaks for itself, yet somehow your business doesn’t really feel like it’s moving forwards.

“I came across a little pickle in my business, and just like Superwoman, Jaz came to my rescue!

I was very fortunate to have her as a guide to help with topics such as raising my rates and improving client relations and day-to-day operations. Thank you Jaz for equipping me with some great tips and tricks to help my business grow.“
