How you should price yourself as an operator-creator

And I have been talking about how we've been taking more influencer deals. And so I was just thinking about how you should price yourself as a creator operator or operator creator. So how you should price yourself as an operator creator. And what I mean by this is if you own a business and you're you also happen to be a content creator. And so Neil owns a business. I own a business. I see us I see ourselves as kinda secondary content creators. Would you agree with that? Yes. Okay. So I believe that most creator, operators are they're underpricing themselves. I think that if you're making less than a million dollars a year, ideally, you're not doing any of these deals at all where people are offering you to do a post. But if you're gonna take one, maybe you're charging $3,000, okay, if you're under a million. If you're doing a million to 5,000,000 a year, maybe you're charging 5 to $10. If you're doing 5 to 10,000,000 a year, you're charging 10 to $25. If you're making 10,000,000 plus a year, charge $25. And what I mean by this is per post. Okay? So someone might ask Neil, do a video. Okay. View video's gonna be $25. You want me to do a LinkedIn post? Okay. $25. In some cases, you know, it it it will be even more than that. Right? But, most of the time right now when people are messaging me, I don't know how it is for you, Neil. I just say, you know, I always say it it starts at $25. Okay? And I would say maybe 25 to 30% of people say, okay. Let's talk. But the rest of them are like they're like, oh, we can't afford it. Right? And that's good. This is a good thing because the opportunity of costs of the opportunity cost of being taken away from running your business is actually worth more than the $25 or whatever that you're being paid. And so, you know, I remember the other day, someone someone sent us a message and they're like, oh, but you only get x amount of views. It was very disrespectful. Right? I'm like, yeah. That's why I charge, you know, $25 plus because I'd have to deal with people like you. And so I'm just saying that you have to have some standards when you're going to when someone reaches out to you because I think more and more of these b two b creator operator operator creator type deals are gonna pop up. And the vast majority of time, I don't know about you, Neil, but I get irritated having to make them. So yeah. Yes. It's not for me, it's not fun. But you may be like, alright. That's cool. And the other problem too as Neil looks at his phone so the other problem I'll tell you is is, one, you don't wanna do it. Okay. You …
