Do you have different services for different budgets?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
What do you do when a potential client comes to you, but can’t afford your main services? Discount? ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
No! As a freelancer, it’s useful to offer a wide range of services at different price points, so you can help a client without compromising your prices. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
For me, I see these levels as follows:​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​
    • Free content – social media posts, newsletters, podcasts, blogs, videos, free webinars, email freebies. This is the stuff you can refer people to if they can’t afford anything right now. ​​​​​​​​
    • Low price/tasters – To give people an idea of your expertise, you can offer things like templates, checklists and short trainings. ​​​​​​​​
    • Do It Yourself – The services where you offer the knowledge but they have to implement it. So courses and group memberships. Books can fall into the cheaper end of this too. It’s a good 1-to-many model. ​​​​​​​​
    • Do It With You – An increasingly popular option is to combine the best of DIY, with accountability and support. So instead of buying a course and not using it, you might have a course that includes a live round, or coaching. ​​​​​​​​
  • Do It For You – This is the one if the client can afford your full services. You can only offer so many of these slots. ​​​​​​​​

Here are a few examples of how that could work.
