Ask HN: Recommended resources for pricing digital products/services?
What to price the things I make feels too much like guesswork to me. I would love to know any recommended advice for how to price digital products and services. How did you come up with the price for your project?

- Jugurtha 5y agoTake a look at this video of Michael Dearing on pricing. https://www.heavybit.com/library/video/harrison-metals-michael-dearing-on-pricing/ https://www.heavybit.com/library/video/harrison-metals-micha... The website is really weird: there's no obvious way to play the video. Clicking on a word or paragraph plays the video at that place. So you can click on the letter "I" in the first sentence "I was just telling the" of the first paragraph. I suppose you can directly access the video here: https://d3aeja1uqhkije.cloudfront.net/2013-07-16-michael-dearing/2013-07-16-michael-dearing.mp4 https://d3aeja1uqhkije.cloudfront.net/2013-07-16-michael-dea...
