PAY WHAT YOU CAN – HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR PRICE
The examples below are not meant to cover every scenario or possible example but to give you an insight on how to choose the price that best fits your current situation. There’s no right or wrong choice here as you know yourself and your finances and what’s true and in integrity for you.
Some reasons you might choose the lowest price :
- you have large amounts of debt
- you stress about paying rent, buying food, and making ends meet
- you do not have access to basic healthcare
- you are financially supporting other people in your family/community
- you are currently unemployed
- you feel financially unstable
Some reasons you might choose a middle price :
- you have some debt, but it doesn’t hugely affect your ability to meet your needs
- you are employed or you own a small business
- you may have access to some savings or investments
- you have access to healthcare
- you’re able to travel and take vacations, when they are planned out and budgeted
Some reasons you might choose the highest price or above it:
- you do not have crippling amounts of debt
- you can easily meet all of your needs (such as food, rent, transportation, etc)
- you have access to stable financial resources/help (savings, family, inheritance, investments, etc)
- you are able to easily travel + take vacations as you wish
- you have access to full healthcare
- you are employed or have a mature profitable business
- you have disposable income
- you feel financially stable
This system is built on trust, and integrity.
AT THE END OF THE DAY, I TRUST YOU TO MAKE THE RIGHT CALL ON WHAT’S RIGHT FOR YOU.
The PWYC pricing options are available or the Overview Reading currently as I’m experimenting with this system to find what feels right and correct.
Thank you for showing up with honesty here! When I am paid fairly for my work it means I can show up more and in my best shape for my community, and I can share more free stuff for those who can’t afford a paid service.
Love yourself,
Raluca
