For creatives who don't know how to price their work, my rule of thumb is: If the price makes you uncomfortable, that should be your minimum.
Too often, almost always honestly, artists & creatives underprice & undervalue our work, cutting ourselves short. We deserve to be paid for our work.

Comments
1: Cheaper prices often attract cheaper quality clients.
2: Higher prices demand respect.
3: People can save up for your work OR support in other ways. (Like prints.)
4: People who complain about prices are NOT your target market.
Charge your worth! 👏
Other times to consider raising prices:
-More clients than you can handle
-Time/effort > payment
-Skills have grown
-Clients frequently tip (shows you could be undercutting!)
-Asshole tax (specific for bad clients)
