Episode Description
What do you do when a holiday gift guide generates 20,000 clicks and $15K in affiliate revenue? How do you price a deal when you're not sure what to charge? And how should you handle YouTube's new collab feature in your contracts?
In this live Wizard's Guild coaching session, hosted by my lead coach Joe Casabona, we tackle real pricing dilemmas, including how to leverage massive affiliate success to land paid deals, why your "hell yeah number" beats any pricing calculator, and how to handle brands that want perpetual usage rights.
Here's what we cover:
How to turn affiliate success into proof of influence (and why brands care more about this than your follower count)
The "hell yeah number" pricing philosophy—and why it's more important than any formula
When to charge a rush fee (and how much to add for urgent timelines)
How to price YouTube collaboration features in your contracts
Why video pitches consistently outperform email for getting responses
The strategy for getting on brand radars during the holiday "circle back in January" phase
Plus, real coaching on navigating book publisher sponsorships, handling multi-million dollar company contracts, and knowing when to walk away from toxic brands.
