Price Your Services

Most people choose a price by looking at what someone else charges and taking a little off. That’s how you end up busy and still broke. This guide gives you a better way: a floor you never go below, a check on what the market pays, and a price based on the result you deliver.

What’s inside

• How to add up your real monthly costs, including the ones people forget
• A simple formula for your hourly floor, with a worked example in naira
• How to check the market without copying the cheapest person
• How to build three packages that make the middle one the easy choice
• Rules for add-ons, rush fees and extra rounds of changes
• Deposits and payment terms, with the exact words to use
• Scripts for “how much?”, “abeg reduce am” and telling clients your prices are going up
• A three-month price check and a printable pricing worksheet

Who it’s for:

Freelancers, creatives and service businesses in Nigeria: designers, photographers, makeup artists, caterers, tutors, consultants, tailors, event planners, and anyone who has ever typed a price into a DM, deleted it and sent something lower.
