Starting Up: Pricing Your Products

WHEN CAMERON POWELL launched River Rock Media Group, a Nashville, Tenn., photography and media production company in 2005, he charged just $75 an hour for his photography service. Considering that similarly equipped photographers can earn between $1,500 and $2,500 for a full day’s work, he’s certain he underpriced himself.
“It got me gigs and it gave me experience working with people. But it didn’t help me gain a whole lot of footing with the market I wanted,” says Powell who now earns the going rate. Instead, he adds, “I was attracting people who didn’t have any money.”
