Finally, I have time to upload my work
How long do you think it took me to edit?
Honestly, this isn’t the best. I edited it in early January and looking back after a month, I can already see so many areas where I can level it up
Everyone keeps saying raise your prices and you'll land good clients
But do you think clients are stupid?
When you charge higher, they also see what value you're actually bringing to the table
The price going up means your responsibility goes up too
You're not just acting like an employee
You're acting like a partner
So before you just raise your rate
Master the service
Get the results first
Then raise the price
Good clients don't show up because your rate is high
They show up when every puzzle piece actually matches
Raise your price without the rest of it and you're just setting yourself up to disappoint someone paying $1000 or $2000
That's what I learned the hard way
@misfitwriter_ People try to become the obvious answer by posting more.
Usually, they become the obvious answer by understanding the question better than everyone else.
@ruthblooming Same, like in video editing this is the whole shift
Anyone can fix audio and clean up cuts
But the ones charging premium are changing how an audience sees their client
@coldemailchris People don't care how the sausage is made.
They care about the sausage.
"AI agent" means nothing to a plumber. "Get 10 more jobs this month" means everything.
Lead with the result, the mechanism comes after.
So basically, the entire funnel breaks.
Right now we optimize for human behavior, but agents don't care about landing pages or sales calls.
They just want API access, clear pricing, and integration points.
The founder who builds the agent-first version of Stripe or Notion wins the whole decade.
@JAKETRINDER_ Long form is def the move for positioning yourself as an authority, no question.
But I think shorts work if you use them as a funnel to your long form stuff.
Like shorts get the eyeballs, long form builds the actual credibility.
