For comparison - I take ~5$ per photo, not less then 50$ tho. But consider that I am photography amateur in third world country.

The photos I take: (will remove the link later)

Your photos are worth *way* more than you're currently charging.
I have literally no mind for a buisiness. If I knew how to display my photos to wider public, or how to find more people interested in paying me for my photos I could charge way more.

Agree tho, even for my country I am underpriced.

Is exactly what I said to people when they first told me to start KillYourInnerLoser.

You dont need a PhD to charge more. From now on, when people ask for prices, say $10 per photo and a minimum of 10 photos.

Boom.

There is a time and place to think strategically about pricing. You're not at that point though.

@KillYourInnerLoser since he even had sex with a hooker when you ordered him, can you also order him to double his prices? 😛

Holy shit, I'm nowhere near that kind of money right now, right now I can't imagine I'd spend 440€ on anything else than pure money investment that'd pay back.

Hey, baby steps. Or just steps. One at a time.

And @Lostcause , better start charging more fokin soon: I see you live in Kraków. I plan to move there once I'm done in Netherlands and if you don't charge more by then, well, how can I trust you with my photoshoot if you don't value yourself? Just kiddin I have even less idea of how much you should be charging in Poland :)

Yeah, I can agree. The time to think about the pricing is when you have people willing to pay for your service. I have none tho. Or maybe more like, I cannot reach the people who would be willing to because I don't really know how.
