Ever heard of the Water Bottle Theory? It’s the idea that the exact same bottle of water can be worth 50¢ at a supermarket, $2 at the gym, $3 at a movie theater, and $6 on an airplane...all because of the environment it’s in. In this episode, we break down how this simple analogy applies directly to your social media management pricing.

Spoiler: your value doesn’t change, but where and how you position yourself absolutely does.
