Deep dives

Understanding Value in Pricing

Many entrepreneurs struggle with the pricing of their digital products, often believing that charging lower prices will attract more buyers. In reality, this approach can undermine their potential earnings, as the price point greatly influences perceived value. A product priced at $50 is often seen as less valuable compared to a similar one priced at $350, despite offering the same content. By recognizing the inherent worth of their offerings, creators can price their products appropriately, thereby maximizing both revenue and customer perception of value.
