How do I tackle anxiety of pricing my own work

That is a really great post, Tiana!

I really like that you treat the cost of getting a commission as a separate expense that needs to be folded into the total cost.
And I like that you identify and include your overhead costs.
I sell stuff through a small gallery and they charge a commission that covers exactly those types of expenses.

Trust your gut. Your gut knows if a client's giving off red flags.

That is so true.
I was reluctant to follow my gut feeling for a long time because I couldn't explain it in rational terms.
Then, several years ago, I had a set of experiences that convinced me that my gut knew a lot more about certain things than I did.
Now I listen when my gut has something to say.
It's not always right, but it has a very, very good batting average.

Hey there, I stumbled upon this old post and wanted to offer some encouragement. I can relate to the anxieties you're facing with pricing your work, but don't worry. It does get easier with time and experience. As for the current market, it's understandable to be cautious, but don't undervalue your work. It may take some trial and error to find the sweet spot, but trust your instincts and don't be afraid to adjust your prices if needed.
