Do I Charge Based On Size Or Based On How Valuable The Information Is For An Ebook?

7 replies
I was just writing a short report I plan to market soon. I was wondering what goes into determining the price. Do you charge based on how many pages your book has or how valuable the information is? If I charged 50 dollars for a 10 page ebook that offered killer information wouldn't you look at the size and be pissed off? If I charged 7 for a 50 page ebook would you think it was crap? Please offer me some insight. Thank you.

    Value. People don't buy for quantity when they want info, they buy for quality.

    If someone wanted quantity, they could find it online for free. If someone wants something that's fast, proven and actionable, they'll pay for it. That's what you charge for.

    I would rather pay $50 for a 10 page report that gives you as much information as the 50 page report. I hate fluff. Valuable information is just that - valuable.

    It really doesn't depend on size or quantity or anything of that nature. It depends upon what the market is prepared to pay to satisfy their buying urge.

    Obviously quality is important from a refunds point of view and servicing your clients properly but it shouldn't factor into pricing because ALL your products should be high quality anyway.

    If its a desperate niche like, say, male impotence, then they are likely to be preapred to pay significantly more to fulfill their need than they are for a Playstation mod tips guide.

    Think back to your economics classes in University or high school...its all about the demand and supply curve and how pricing affects demand. Always test your prices and be preapred to move it around to find "equilibrium"

    Hope that helps

    I feel every product or a service is sold based on what it can deliver, so content or the quality of the prouct or service is what is more important than the quantity or size. So place emphasis on the quality of the product while pricing and selling the product. Thanks
