This topic is very underated in the freelance world, most love their craft and they neglect this. Also, the moment I saw the Chris do ref, I was glad that he is getting more recognition, I highly recommend every freelancer to watch his videos. Particularly "3 pricing strategies".

Man the timing of this video is perfect as I started reaserching into freelancing. This was the most fun video to watch and learned something today.

I once developed a website for a business, went through the entire job, revisions and everything and at the end they refused to pay a $600 invoice. Why? because Wix was $10/month, they saw an ad that morning and decided "fuck this guy" problem was, I being new, thought if i delivered the product they'd pay me. I had already delivered the website and set it up on their servers.

Luckily i left myself a backdoor, when they decided not to pay me they shut me out, so i logged in through the backdoor and disabled the web server, took my site code down and replaced it with their old code that advertised a competitors business when their intro video finished lol. It's still up to this day. the guy just refused to pay people lol.

so always beware overpricing something if there's a cheap alternative. And with AI art gen being where it is right now. There is.

15 or so years ago on cgtalk there's a thread that basically said to charge $100 per frame, because of all the things that go into a render, storying boarding, modeling, texturing, rigging, animating and the render. ( not including all the great stuff you said in this video ) 90min movie would be 540k . Some great info here, Love the work.

I learned this lesson of cost, price and value from a good friend in the US a good 10 years back and its nice to have a reminder of what this is, and more so why this is. We undervalue ourselves a lot as artists and often don't understand what we can offer. Its only when its broken down into actual cost (what it will cost to make), then pricing (cost plus profit) for doing the work, and the value of work comes into its own once you understand the previous terms and you understand what your client wants. I still struggle to price my work but it's a learning curve and still depends on my own value of my work to try and make it neither undercutting myself nor overpriced for the client . The terms seem interchangeable and often are but its not the right way to do things and it does make a massive difference. Relearning this was invaluable, tysm for this :)

The best thing about this video is that it also applies to any type of freelancing in general. Thank you very much Smeaf for your efforts and information. Its really hard when starting out as a fresh graduate with some experience to start freelancing. I would have made the same mistake as you before seeing this video. Again thank you very much for all your hard work and contributions to teach us.

[ernestoescala]

This helps me to realize I've been working for cost and not for value. Thanks to make me think about this!

[petit-pedestre]

Dang, the editing is on point, it's a pleasure to watch

[astagajeem]

There are so many videos on this topic that are hours long and yet they don’t explain 20% of what you did here. Really, but really you’re my favorite yt channel.

[burnaking]

Thanks you so much for this, Ive been wanting to do freelance work for a company recently but had no clue what I should charge and this helped out big time with understanding that more

[Mason-ismr]

The ways you present the memes are top tier! But also you give great advice, thank you!

[omkarprabhu]

This is what I was waiting for 🙌🙌🙌

Congrats on the launch of LEVEL UP ACADEMII 🎉

[TrevorKeenAnimation]

The jobs with the lowest fees generally have the most pain-in-the-ass clients. Don't ask why.

[soaksignal]

ur videos are keeping my sanity while I get into 3d modeling thank u

[OmniCroissant]

The right title should be "Watch This If You Want To Make Money Freelancing". Because those advice are really good for anything, not just Blender. Thanks man !

[Mrjupeter]

That was a great 8.00 minutes to watch and learn from this. By the way, thanks for your excellent work! Cheers from Budapest, Hungary. Peter, CEO of Liquicoll ;-)

I hate when people charge $30 when it should actually be like $500. It makes it harder for everyone else
