I am just starting out and don’t want to get stuck being a “cheap” photographer. So I need help a little in all areas. But print pricing I would have to say is my weakness right now.
Sorry I forgot that I couldn’t put facebook and twitter entries again for following that way so please erase those 2 entries.
Being able to offer the “right” price.. not too high and not to low!
My biggest pricing problem is standing by my prices, and not letting people try to talk them down because they think that they are “too expensive in this economy.”
I’m not sure if I’ll get customers for the price I want to charge.
I follow MCP Actions on Twitter. http://twitter.com/heatherbrandt
My biggest challenge is pricing myself high enough. I have such a hard time determining the “magic” price.
My biggest challenge is not under pricing myself and pricing myself for what my work is worth.
My greatest pricing challenge is believe in my work enough to charge for it! I think I am good enough, but when it comes time to tell people my prices, it’s really hard! Am I really worth that much??
Trying to figure out how much I am actually worth, I guess. I am just getting started!
I am a facebook fan of MCP Action.

My greatest pricing challenge is figuring out how to price accordingly for customers due to the economy and also the geographical location where I live. Don’t want to be overpriced, yet don’t want to be underpriced either.
I follow MCP Actions feed through google reader.

Being bold enough to take value in my own work, time, etc.
The biggest challenge is people thinking I’m too “expensive” and also valuing my work at what price it should be. I just need to be smacked upside my head with some wisdom! haha

The biggest pricing challenge for me right now is how to price myself competitively (as a newbie in the market) without underpricing myself….

I don’t even know where to start….all of it! Packages…a la carte….albums….session fee…friends & family….
I need help!
I have an MCP banner on my blog! http://sarahcarper.blogspot.com/
My greatest pricing challenge is pricing myself not too high – but not too low that I am under pricing myself. I just don’t know the “right” price to have.
My biggest pricing challenge is session packages such as baby’s first year, etc.
