Charge too much — no clients. Charge too little — wasting your time. These are both myths. Watch to find out why and learn how to set your rates for teaching Ableton (including a breakdown of my own rates and the reasoning behind them).
If you’ve been using Ableton for a while and think you’re ready to start teaching others what you’ve learned, you need to figure out what you’re going to charge. Easier said than done, right?
I started doing this in 2008, and my rates have changed dramatically since then (they’ve increased…did you really need to ask?). I’ve made a ton of mistakes and learned a ton since then, and I want to share those lessons with you.
What you’ll learn:
- How to get a feel for what the market is willing to pay
- Why side hustle vs. full-time gig might affect your rate
- How to not be scared to go big
- Communicating rates (and rate changes) to clients
- Should you ever work for free?
