With cost of living pressures increasing, it's time to raise your rate. Many people feel deeply uncomfortable talking about the financial aspect of their business and this has a ripple effect on what we charge for our creative work and how we communicate this to clients. The prospect of raising rates seems daunting—will current clients leave? Will potential clients be turned off by my pricing?

In this webinar, we'll explore how to work out what you cost, how to set rates in alignment with your experience and financial goals, and how to raise your rates with current clients.

What’s Included?
A 60 min panel webinar with our creative industries experts, plus lifetime access to additional resources and/or a special Dropbox folder containing more resources to support your learning.

Who should sign up?
Creative industries professionals and business people from start-up to established (Australia only, sorry!). We also welcome creative freelancers, soloists, students, start-ups and curious hobbyists.
