Pricing Strategies That Work

Proven approaches to maximize your earnings

1. Tiered Pricing

Offer multiple service levels at different price points to capture different client budgets.

Quick Chat

$45

Standard

60 min

$120

Deep Dive

90 min

$180

2. Value-Based Pricing

Price based on outcomes, not hours. Focus on the ROI your clients receive.

"If your advice saves clients $10,000, charging $500 for an hour is a steal for them."

3. Low-Cost Intro Session

Offer a short intro session (30 minutes is the minimum, and prices start at $1) to build trust and win long-term clients.

Why it works: A small first step lowers the barrier for new clients — show real value upfront and they'll come back for full sessions.


Common Questions

Should I start with low rates?

Only if you're building a portfolio. Don't undervalue your expertise — even at 0-2 years, $30-40/hour is reasonable. You can always raise rates as demand increases.

How do I know if my rates are too high?

If you're getting no bookings after 2 weeks with a strong profile and service descriptions, test lowering by 15-20%. If you're fully booked, raise rates by 10-15%.

Can I change my rates later?

Yes! Edit your service offerings anytime. New rates apply to future bookings only — existing bookings honor original pricing.
