"Help! I don't know how much I should charge!"
This system operates using an hourly based charging system for artists and creators of personal projects.
Designers who work with business and set prices based on value, can use this tool to incorporate into their pricing structure as a component.
Pricing has always been a grey area for many artists. Not only have we been dealing with heavy symptoms of imposter syndrome (don't get me started) but also, many of us have struggled to even know where to begin!
Having been involved in the creative industry for 15 years, I have had my fair share of financial faux pas; from carelessness surrounding deposits, charging prices that were totally out of sync to completely undercutting myself - I have been through it all. With each experience, I have learned something new, leading me to develop my own formulae over the years to help me set solid pricing and working models. They've worked wonders for me throughout my creative career, so I've constructed this price generator tool in the hope it will work amazingly for you too. From one artist to another, I understand the struggle, APC is here to help!
