Designer's often struggle to price themselves fairly and be paid what they're worth. In this video we talk about the importance of learning how to price your work, and cover the three pricing models you can use: pricing based on time and materials, based on a fixed project fee, or based on the value the client will receive from you solving their problem. The last model is the most lucrative, and the hardest to get into! Chris shares lots of great advice for how to price this way and what to ask the client to uncover the value. I bet you'll finish this video feeling super empowered and ready to increase your rates and be paid more for your work!

We filmed this video together during Epicurrence, a conference for creatives that was held in Yosemite. It was snowing and we were sitting outside by a fire!
