The biggest pricing obstacle in my business is explaining and securing usage fees for a local market that is not used to paying them.
When pricing right I always worry that my circle of friends and connections couldn’t afford my prices
charging a price i am worth
getting people to pay what i am worth
Charging as much as I want to when others pricing a whole lot less…

my biggest pricing problem is simply knowing what to charge….i cant shake that “trying to please EVERYONE” voice in my head. I just can’t get the hang of it!

Right now, the economy. In our area people are prioritizing their money elsewhere.
Allowing myself to charge enough to make it worth the time I spend.
My biggest pricing obstacles are the going rates of other photographers in my area – I don’t want to be too high or too low!
Picking the right prices…Is it better to include a full resolution CD with the session fee or try and charge seperately for prints?

my biggest pricing fear is that I’m priced too low to attract the clients that value photography.

My biggest fear is starting out charging too little and not compensating myself fairly… yet still finding clients willing to pay and having the confidence to charge what I’m worth.

My biggest pricing fear is that I won’t be able to charge enough to make a decent living.
Pricing my packages/what to put in packages.
I feel the hardest part is pricing is to have a fair but competitive price.

My biggest obstacle is knowing what others in my area are charging. I know what my work is worth to me but what’s it worth to others?
My biggest pricing fear is not being able to find a middle ground. I’m constantly worried it’s too nigh or too low.
I’m a fan of MCP on facebook!
how to set my self apart but still be profitable
My pricing fear is that my friends won’t use me. I would rather be priced higher and do fewer sessions. However I think most of my friends wouldn’t fit in there.
I think my biggest obsticle with pricing is fear. Fear of raising my prices! I am at a happy place with most of my pricing but I still fear raising my session fee. I also struggle with packages and how to sell them.
My biggest pricing obstacle is making more than a $400 sale. I’m not the cheap photographer and I’m not the expensive one either. I get tons of inquiries but rarely hear anything once I send my pricing off.
My biggest obstacle hands down is marketing, and time. I have a full time job so I do this as a side job. As a result I do not have a lot of time; however, I also charge ridiculously low rates and work my butt off for not a large return in investment.
our biggest obstacle with pricing is feeling confident. I’m never confident that our pricing matches our market. I find many local photogs who charge substantially less and others who are higher. I’m not sure if being in the upper-middle is a good thing. I just don’t have the confidence in our pricing.
My biggest pricing struggle is getting people to buy prints period! (I live in a small town, everyone offers a cd with all images and no prints) Would love to breakaway from this!

Since I am just starting, my biggest fear is overpricing, and and then at what point do I charge competitively for my area?
Pricing is tough. If I price too low, it’s not worth my time. If I price too high, I may scare people away. So, how do I find just the right price that makes it worth it to me and my clients?
I think my biggest pricing obstacle is convincing clients there’s more than a bottom line dollar amount to consider.
My biggest pricing obstacle is not ripping myself off for all of my time involved in the process and also have customers pay what i put out there.
I worry that I will sell myself short and set my prices too low!
My biggest pricing obstacle – knowing just how much my photography is worth. I want to be a better alternative that Walmart, but I also don’t want to undercharge.
my pricing fears are charging too much and the consumer not wanting to spend that price but i also do not want to go to low from what others are charging. Also not really sure how to go about figuring out the correct amount to charge.
My biggest obstacle is my confidence in my work.
I am always afraid the phone is not ringing because my prices are too high.

Working in a small town where people do not understand why custom photography costs so much!
I’m a facebook fan – LOVE MCP actions!!
Although I am not yet in business, my dilemma is in setting prices that are both fair to me and the client.
I’m not in biz yet so my fears are that I would price myself as if ‘I’ was my customer!! And I am cheap LOL!! No way to run a biz!!
I’m not in business yet, officially that is, but my biggest pricing obstacle is figuring out what’s a good median. I don’t want pricing that some people might think are too expensive and others think they are too cheap. Please help me find a good median. =)
My biggest pricing problem is fearing I am not charging enough or going to high for my area, small town area.
Going from portfolio building to charging.

As a new photographer, I’m afraid people will thibnk I am charging too much.
Face book fan!!
My pricing fears are that I’m either going to charge too much for my perceived skills or abilities, or underprice myself and end up barely breaking even for the time and supplies put in.

My hardest obstacle is just simpley believing I am worth it and knowing that I need to charge more.
