Remember, it’s about helping people and making the world a better place, not about milking people out of their money without giving a damn.

You should always have the option of negotiating prices with your customers or clients. Don’t say no to money. Don’t let people go away because they don’t have enough money. Don’t drive away customers because they are too poor. Have something for customers or clients of each financial level. Give them something rather than nothing. Provide them with a product or service that matches the amount of money they can afford to pay. Don’t shut enthusiastic customers or clients because they are too poor to pay your prices or they can’t afford to pay you a certain amount of money below which you refuse to work. Have something to sell to every person. Period. And don’t always refuse to work for free. It just has to not be for long hours every day. Address their issues or problems quickly but thoroughly. They’ll appreciate it. They’d appreciate anything, because you still accepted to help them, even though they paid you nothing.

There’s a good thing about having standard prices, but the option of negotiating a discount with a customer in the DMs for example, without lowering your official price for your services, should always be available. You have to keep the wheels turning and keep the momentum going. Even if that means sometimes getting paid less than you wish.
