Copywriting Pricing Guides Are Complete Garbage (Episode 283)

How much does a banana cost for you?

At Trader Joe’s they may be 26 cents (maybe a bit more for organic).

At Whole Foods they may be around 70 cents.

But a banana costs relatively the same amount wherever you go, right? It’s a difference of a few cents.

Copywriting is a not a banana.

And, even if we agree on that, I don’t think you’re going to like this episode of the Build Your Copywriting Business podcast.

See, we hear all the time, “I found this pricing guide and it’s really helpful!”

But what you may not realize is those guides are actually hurting you.

It’s presented as an easy solution to a complex problem: how much do I charge for an email? Or a homepage? Or an about page?

I hate to break it: there’s not an easy button for this.

These guides are a marketing gimmick to put $$$dollar signs$$$ in your eyes and get you to click or opt-in or buy the program.

Ready to hear me out?

Listen to today’s episode now before a pricing guide leads you down the wrong path.
