@Tianababyyyy_ Don’t let this weigh you down, the request only means that you are above their pay grade.
Next time, try telling them that you are ‘conversant with all the industry-standard softwares.’
@Freyy_is You forget that many of these people are actually too dumb to learn even the easiest things. That’s why they substitute using their brains for using AI.
A bottle of water is $1 at the gas station
$6 at the airport
$25 in a nightclub
It's the exact same water. nothing about it changed except one thing, & that one thing is the most profitable trick in the history of business
The people who understand it charge 25x for the same work & their customers thank them for the deal. here's how it actually works:
The second a buyer can put you next to someone else, you've lost. now it's a spreadsheet... features, price, who replies faster. you're a line item & the cheapest line item always wins. that's the death every commodity business dies & most of you are standing in line for it
Being "better" won't save you, because better still lives inside the category & inside a category there's always a cheaper guy happy to die on price. you have to leave the category entirely so the question "compared to what?" has no answer
There are two ways to do it. one is free & takes an afternoon. the other is a moat nobody can cross
PLAY 1 = rename the thing
You don't sell "social media management" (there are 9,000 of those & a teenager in the philippines does it for $400/mo). you sell "the inbound attention system that books your calendar"... now what's the price of that? nobody knows. there's no menu, so you set the number
Same work, brand new category, & all you did was reposition it. "copywriter" gets $50/hr because the buyer has 200 to compare. "the guy who rewrote the page that did $1.4M" has no comparison on earth, so he names his price
The move: take what you do, name the OUTCOME nobody else is naming, & describe it as a system with your own name on it. the moment it sounds like a proprietary thing instead of a commodity service, the price anchor disappears & you're alone in the buyer's head
This works tomorrow & costs nothing, but it's the weaker version, because a competitor can copy your words by friday
PLAY 2 = actually become uncopyable
This is the one nobody does because it's work, which is exactly why it prints
You stop being a service & become a thing that cannot be bought anywhere else, by stacking deliverables & systems no single competitor offers together:
> build your own backend software. even a stitched-together internal tool counts. now you don't "do the work," you have a PLATFORM. a man can hire a freelancer or he can get access to a system that exists in exactly one place on earth, & those are not the same purchase or the same price
> own the plugs. the supplier, the placement, the distribution, the relationships nobody else has access to. "I'll do your ads" is a commodity. "I'll do your ads & I have a direct line to the 3 people who control the inventory you need" has no competitor
> bundle the stuff they'd otherwise hire 4 separate people for. strategy, execution, the software, the network, the one weird deliverable nobody includes. each piece alone is a commodity. welded together they become a thing with no name, no competitor & no comparable price
The buyer sits there trying to price you & physically can't, because no other vendor does your exact combination. you've quietly removed yourself from the market while everyone else knife-fights inside it
and... the wider the gap between you & the nearest comparison, the less price matters & the faster you scale. commodities compete until margins hit zero. a category of one competes against nobody, so you set the number, raise it whenever you want, & the buyer's only real options are you or going without
Look at your offer right now & ask the only question that matters... "what does the buyer compare me to?" every answer he can give is a competitor stealing your margin. your entire job is to make that list empty
Building the category, the software, the positioning & the bundle that has no comparison is the whole thing I do for people. real offer + money to invest >> dm me or yegor. com
Everyone else, stay in the category & keep explaining why you're worth $2,000 more than the next guy... that conversation never ends & you never win it
@Akeela99O@Createdbydm0 Take what down, so you’ll just let this slide!?? Instead of you to start preparing the nastiest lawsuit.
He’s literally blatantly stealing from you!
@SafwanAlghazal@saheedniyi_02 Very impressive. Soon no one will ever need to hire a voice artist again, because of the AI. No one will probably ever need a designer either, as AI can do the job instead.
