    Should I Charge A Client More Because He Makes More?

    Normally when I work with a client it tends to be a small service business like plumbers, roofers, electricians, etc..... and when I price them out for SEO I don't have a set price. This may seem like a negative to many individuals already; however, I price them based on the level of competition, search volume, and industry. The reason for this is that I see each industry and location as it's own separate puzzle and with that always comes new companies and problems you'll be put up against. In my mind it wouldn't be fair to say each industry is the same and each will take the same amount of resources to rank because that's just not realistic. Now here's the reason for my posting of this.

    I recently posted about how I landed a client who makes a great revenue stream on his clothing brand. This client tends to be different than my normal prospects, but I'm always open to new challenges and after doing my research I thought I could help him accomplish his goal of increasing his SEO prowess across his website for $1500 a month. This was something that I saw as huge because normally my clients pay $750 a month or $500 if the industry isn't heavily competitive. When I posted about this many of the comments were something along the lines of "If hes making millions in revenue than you should be charging him more" now I see where they're coming from but also I don't feel the need to overcharge my client just because he makes more revenue. I mean you never know he could always be putting back millions into his business in product, paying employees, and a variety of other things. So is there something wrong with my pricing strategy? keep in mind I can always renegotiate the rate later down the line.

    Should I hire an industrial designer to create my idea?

    Posted: 12 Sep 2021 07:06 PM PDT

    I have this great idea of mine which I am willing to put my savings in, however I don't have the capacity to create the product itself by my own. I've been thinking to hire a freelancer industrial designer in my city who has worked in industrial company before. Since we live in the same city, I though it would be better, because we could meet in person. What do you guys think? And what should I expect or do with industrial designer for those who has already worked with some?

    Never kicked off. Competition arrived. Feeling anxious.

    Long story short, the pandemic inspired me to build a SaaS startup back in Apr 2020. Due to lots of whatever issues, we didn't kick-off until now. We have outsourced the development to a dev shop a couple of months back. They promised to make the deliverable by next month ending.

    Between Oct 2020, and until now, a handful of new startups emerged with the same idea. Three of them got till series-A (16M, 20M, 11M respectively) in recent times. They are executing everything just the way I thought of doing it. One of the startup's platform is so simple and dead close to the designs I have made last year (which is currently under development). Each of them now has about 10M userbase, already started generating revenues, and are so focused on hypergrowth.

    While other startups not only launched their product but also found PMF, raised funds, and are taking their products to the next level. And we didn't even kick-off. Even if we release the product in a months time, our product is so behind the competition. They have made their product feature-rich thanks to the constant user feedback and the funds they have.

    I am not jealous of their success. What is bothering me is it's been almost 15 months, and we are not yet there in the market. We don't have a full-time development team. I am seeing all of this as a personal failure and what is frustrating is to see is that one of the competitors executing things just as I have envisioned, their product is super close in terms of features, ease of use, and UI.

    I am feeling so anxious about all of it and not being able to sit straight. I have been practicing patience for weeks now just waiting for the development to be finished. I am also so worried about the final quality of our product as the dev shop I engaged is not so great.

    What is that I can do to cope up with the situation? and how do I ensure we go live with a quality product? When can I go look for funding?

    Sorry, if this is a bit irrelavent but am curious to see if anyone know on How to Patent an idea?

    Hi, can we patent mobile application concepts? If yes, what is the best way to follow or where to begin with?

    Any info will be really helpful.

    I am planning to launch a startup but not until I have a working prototype of the app. Hence, I am thinking to get the idea patented so that I can employ couple of people to work together and also make sure they don't communicate/share this idea anywhere else.
