It's weird how when you spend a lot of time in a space that doesn't value your work, you learn to value your work less. You begin to think that if you lower the cost of doing business, more people will work with you, but the lower you go the more work you have to do because those willing to pay less are generally less interested to begin with.

The truth is it takes the same amount of effort to sell a product for $1, $5 and $20, but selling it for $1-$5 makes you work 4x-20x more for the same result.

I'm raising my prices from $6.25 to $50 before April.

It shouldn't take multiple 10-50+ videos, personal service to inform buyers, and an entire sales engineering process to convince people to consider what I'm offering at a $6 price point. Most education businesses are priced at $20-$40 as self-serve platforms.

The platform is excellent and I work really hard to make myself available when people need it. If you're not willing to invest in yourself, I am no longer interested in doing business.
