  … is a bold marketing strategy during an economic depression

  Never undersell the possibility that this person is lying.

  Or that this is a stock photo and the text is clickbait.

    Apparently her name is actually Kortney. But reality doesn’t matter when a bunch of redditors get together to hate a woman

  This is really taking a pretty harmless comment too seriously. The point is shit is expensive and clients want everything cheap. Any freelancer can relate to this particular framing. I used to have people want $300 websites and they didn’t care that it would take potentially a week to build their site. Surely just abstractly we can all relate to shit being expensive though?

      Why did you delete this? It’s true. No idea why someone downvoted this true but deleted comment.

        I initially thought I attached it to the wrong thread and reposted.

        But yeah I’d only be real like that after I got to know them more during the initial introduction. Of someone had zero sense of humor and was just telling me what I was going. I’d eliminate the cheap for them and throw a high estimate because I just didn’t want to deal with them for less.

  I mean she’s got a point. I used to do web design and the number of people who reckoned that it should cost the equivalent of $40 was ridiculous. I’d required at least 10 times that just as compensation from having to work with shopify.

    One of the main reasons I got into hardware is because there’s an inherent bias that digital things have no intrinsic value.

    Like, you might expect a calculator app to be free, but nobody expects a calculator to be free.

      When doing websites. I always told people upfront, you can do it cheap, fast, or good. Pick two because all three doesn’t exist.

        I’ve stopped asking people this. They ALWAYS pick cheap and good because fast is an unknown variable to them.

        Well technically you can have all three be met at the same time.

        The omly question you have to ask yourself is ‘Are you as happy of the idea of slavery as most other capitalists are?’

    … did you market yourself as a stuck up prick who can’t budget well?

    Or did you maybe save that for some stage of contract negotiations?

    There are ways to dance the dance; hers seems to be the equivalent of loudly complain that no one is picking her to dance because no one can afford her.

    Just not a good strategy.

      Well I certainly found it was a good idea to not keep the customer in the dark about my prices. If I’m going to be expensive I might as well tell them outright, it’s not like I’m going to get more customers if I led them on.

        Price transparency != Marketing strategy.

  Don’t you dare question Nat of “Insert Last Name Photography” of being bad at marketing.
