Shownotes

If podcast editing is your business, you may find yourself struggling with how to charge for your services. There are a lot of different considerations that go into pricing podcast editing packages, such as the production style and scope of the project, your skill level in podcast editing, what you offer as additional services like transcription or copywriting...the list goes on and on!

In this podcast episode Alexandra Stenett joins your faithful Yetis to explore those various factors (and address some of the stories we tell ourselves) so that you can charge what you're worth as a podcast editor.

Listen to Discover

  • How production scope and style play into pricing.
  • Whether where YOU live should influence your rates.
  • Why there's room for both a Mercedes and Kia plan within the podcasting ecosphere.
  • Understanding that it's OK that there can be a price point for everyone, even if YOUR price point isn't for everyone - and why that's a good thing for you, your clients, and even the clients who want or need a different value proposition.
  • Whether or not your pricing should be aligned with your peers.
  • Whether pricing that feels arbitrary can still be appropriate.
  • How your pricing should reflect the intersection of your needs and how much value YOUR clients put on YOUR work.
  • When it's time to consider changing your rates - and how to approach that.
  • How to determine whether your rates are too low for YOU.
  • Why it's OK to write contracts that have an end date.
  • The idea of the simple language contract.
