The Business of Video Production

The Truth About Video Production Pricing (And What to Do Instead)


Listen Later

Pricing is one of the biggest challenges for video production business owners. How do you know what to charge? Should you raise your rates? What’s the ‘going rate’ for a video? In this episode of The Business of Video Production Podcast, I break down the right way—and the wrong way—to approach pricing.

Many video producers rely on social media forums or blanket advice from ‘experts’ to determine their rates, but this approach is flawed. Instead, pricing should be based on value—both tangible and intangible. I share insights on how to increase the value you provide to clients, differentiate yourself from competitors, and strategically position your business in the market.

If you’ve ever wondered how to confidently raise your rates and get paid what you’re worth, this episode is for you.

  • Why looking for pricing advice in Facebook groups is a bad idea

  • Why generic advice like "just raise your rates" doesn’t work

  • The key factor that should determine your pricing: value

  • Why premium pricing comes with higher expectations—and how to meet them
