I appreciate the reframe in this incredibly important topic. The user experience vs the artist experience both need to be taken into account, and you’ve done this here. The approach of having customers “set their price” resonates because you’re saying the product has a price, and you’re allowing the customer to set their own, which activates their critical thinking to decide what they believe that product/experience is worth.
Thank you, Steven! Always nice to hear from you and I’m glad to hear this one landed. 🙏
It’s funny, eh?
This is how I see it, personally.
There’s this fine line between making yourself available and providing value and then masking your self-value or the harder conversations of worth we maybe have yet to have with ourselves…
A large part of that and what I’ve learn from my mentors is the art of unattaching your self-worth from what you choose to charge.
That right there, is the money maker, in my opinion. What about you? How do you see that part?
Definitely. It’s a matter of values — I’m on a real Mark Manon kick right now: you gotta choose what to give a f*ck about. Attaching your self-worth to what people think of you will always lead to despair. Connecting the worth of your work/art to a monetary figure though? That’s safe territory as long as your ego doesn’t get caught up in the mix 😄
