Pricing Your Work with Andy, Nick, and Steve

Maker Lounge Podcast

In this episode, we discuss the topic of pricing your work. We share our experiences and insights on adjusting prices for friends and family, lowering prices to sell projects, and using subscription-based pricing models. We also talk about the design software we use and where to find inspiration for your designs.

In this conversation, we discuss pricing strategies and the concept of offering discounts. We share their experiences with pricing our products and services, including how we calculate costs and determine profit margins. We also discuss the importance of valuing your time and ensuring your businesses are profitable. The conversation concludes with a fun game called 'The Price is Wrong,' where the guests guess the prices of different projects. In this part of the conversation, we discuss various pricing scenarios for different woodworking projects. We analyze the pricing of a farmhouse table, an outdoor picnic table, a round table, slate coasters, and a TARDIS bookshelf.

The conversation touches on the value of learning experiences, the importance of considering materials and labor costs, and the potential of subscription-based pricing models. Overall, the episode provides insights and strategies for pricing projects effectively.
