Know Your Value

I had a potential client who wanted me to be the voice of a YouTube channel focused on investing, success and motivation. This potential client also wanted me to help with scriptwriting and said I would be a great fit for this new channel.

Even though it would be a significant time commitment to research, write and narrate a 10-minute video every week, I was really excited by the idea of creating new content and branching out in a different path with my voiceover work.

The client and I had a phone call to discuss details, and he told me what it would pay.

I laughed.

And no, it wasn’t out of line. The offer was insulting to the point where negotiation was useless.

It’s flattering when someone wants to work with you. It’s something else when they don’t actually see your value.
