Sure, so you don't figure out jow much some one can pay for your service, you set the rate fo your service based on market value and on demand.
Everything is demand and supply, right? Your supply is about 8 hours of work a day, assuming.
You have certain expertise, that means you can deliver certain amount of results for every hour.
This is how your supply increases, you get more expertise so your hours are more and more valuable because you can deliver more.
To balance that, there is demand, if you are the most experienced person in the world but no one wants you, then you have zero demand, so your service us super cheap.
What you want then, is start cheap, get expertise, increase demand so you can increase the price in function to your supply and demand.
See how "how much you client can pay" or even competitors fo not affect your price at this point?
This is how pricing should work, keep things optimum, keep price low, push the market to lower prices, always. -
@Nanos hahhaha, I liked that.
I was just talking some microeconomics, I am learning, the more you learn about how money works, the more fucked up you realize it is, and pricing and 'self-regulating' markets is a huge part of how fucked up society is.
Just wanted to make you go read about this topic.
TLDR; i wrote recursive compression with random algorithm to fuck up some lazy ass girl.
one day, unknown classmate told me she has a family reunion and cannot do his programming assignment which will be collected next day in the morning, so she ask me to do it. i say i need to put a price tag to it because i want to buy a new RasPi --i don't know her either so i don't feel bad about it. i told her i need $20 and after some bargaining it settled at $15. i work on it about 3 hours and told her it's finished and send her demo video as a proof. she happy with the result. and will come to my house later that night to get the source code. at night, she came, and give me only $8 bucks, of course i get mad, with every arguments she throws at me i resist to give her the source code. but since i tired enough to get into a longer arguments i accept the 8 bucks i go upstairs to get the source code. but instead of giving her the actual source code; i wrote a quick script to do 50 compress source code folder recursively with random compression algorithm--sometimes gzip sometimes lzma. and give her the final 50 times compressed source code. EAT SHIT MOTHERFUCKER
