How should I do pricing moving forward?
4 years ago
Hey everyone! Hope you all had a lovely past couple of weeks!
I just have a few questions about doing prices for story commissions, and I would appreciate any kind of help.
1. What price would be the most fair for 2000 words? (Note: Where I live the minimum wage is $8.75 an hour so I would like to stay around this for pricing)
2. Would you prefer a flat rate or price per word? (Flat rate being you pay for a certain amount of words give or take ~50-100 and price per word would likely be either a cent or two per word)
3. What would you consider the most "efficient" way to commission? (Notes, Discord, Google Form?)
4. Should I consider opening a Pateron and / or Discord Server?
5. Any other things that I may of missed?
Also, anyone who answers these questions in detail will be entered into a small giveaway of a short 1000 word TF story that ends on May 1st.

2.- I guess flat price works better in this cases.
3.- With Google Form you have better control of your different commission request, although it's easier in some cases to just contact the person directly. I wouldn't advise notes.
4.- Not if you are just starting, but if you have a sizeable audience you might consider it.
