RE: Thinking about a subscription service for PWR.

in #pwr2 months ago

The more I think about the way I worded the post, the worse the deal seems to me to be honest.

Dunno, it's strange how an idea can live in your head for weeks or months, you can one day sit down in front of a sheet of paper, let go of what's going through your head. You read it the next day and think “what a piece of shit”.

Best case scenario with this model is doing 3-4 hours of calls on weekends for 200$ or so (burning out my little free time, which should use for proper resting btw).

Also never give your service for free.

Thanks for this words. You have made me think about it and realised I was probably selling myself too cheap.

Have a good week sir

Sort:  

This is a common thought process. Most freelancers work for too cheap. It’s a common problem. What is worse, the moment you start giving your services for cheap the consumer begins to feel, you are cheap because you provide a service that is lower quality than the other person who service is expensive. There starts the death spiral!

Moral of the story. Always offer a competitive price for your services and never offer a free service.

Reeading this reminded me of something that happened here a few weeks ago, basically these guys we called to come clean the AC's of the house said it would cost a certain amount. Since it seemed quite like a low amount we went ahead and rounded it up to give them a tip which they were grateful for.

The funny thing is after a few more months we call the same guys again and either they remembered us or had just happened to increase the price, they quoted us for the amount we had rounded it up to when being generous last time.

Guess no tip needed anymore. :D

@empoderat we have arrived at that point with respect to DHF proposal again! Please help!

Sorry, just came back home.

I See that the proposal is above now the threshold, Ill keep the vote on the return proposal for now.

Yes, it worked out. Thanks for the help from the community.
