How To Price Freelance Creative Services
Helping photographers and graphic designers to earn more and stress less.

With Master Instructor Aura McKay
Pricing is the moment of truth – all of marketing strategy comes to focus on the pricing decision.
Raymond Corey
Pricing your photography or design services can feel like a huge stumbling block on the road to profit.
Changes in our economy are causing a lot of freelancers to re-think their prices. Many of you are having to come up with new services, new offers, and new prices.
One thing that hasn’t changed is how your prices can actually help you marketing and sell.
There are so many factors to consider when looking at how to price your freelance services – your business costs, your own personal income needs, the perception of value in the market place, client budgets, and the general state of the economy.
Add that to decisions on pricing models like bundling, memberships, or one-to- many and strategies like micro offers and value based pricing.
It’s no wonder most freelance creative services providers feel overwhelmed and confused about how to set their prices… and why some of you have been winging it for so long.
This masterclass is specifically designed to help you confidently price your creative services for long term profit and sustainability.

- you are really new to the business of creativity and haven’t served very many clients yet
- you want someone to just tell you how much to charge instead of doing the work
- you feel like you need support on your business model first (private coaching is available)
- you have a fixed mindset or are currently focused on healing your emotional or mental health

We can still help, it’s worth talking with us.

Hi. I’m Aura McKay.
My style of training is full of enthusiasm and energy. I like celebrations, high fives, and spirit fingers (on zoom). I believe in taking a series of small steps to get to a goal. And I believe that creatives can design, build, and grow profitable businesses in any economy.
As the Founder of Business of Creativity, I am passionate about supporting creative freelancers and solopreneurs to make a living AND have a life doing work you love.
I bring 20 years of experience as an international award winning photographer, expertise in financial management and marketing communications, and years of experience coaching other creatives.
As part of my signature business plan system for creatives, I built a simple straight forward worksheet to make pricing freelance services easier. This worksheet literally changes lives by helping you know exactly what your price for profitability is.
“Even before the course was finished, I’d already revised my prices and sent them out to my next inquiry. And they hired me!”
At Business of Creativity we do online programs a differently:
We promise that our programs are:
- Recorded so you can go review as much and whenever you want to
- Multi-layered interactive exercises while you apply the strategies and lessons in your business
- Specifically designed to help freelancers like you focus on what matters most so you can master the business of creativity
- Comprehensive with resources, workbooks, and access to the Slack community for additional support and connection
And some things we just won’t do like:
- Same-old-same-old ‘online courses’ that talk at you without really helping
- Take your money for a program that isn’t the right solution for your business or marketing challenges
- Promise quick fixes or magic formulas (success takes time and effort – if it was easy, you would already be doing it)
- Offer training only without the support to help you implement and see real results in your creative business.
