Do you sell anything digital (downloads, workshops, courses)? A new book is coming on March 20th—and this is for you.

Here’s the first part of Chapter 1 of the upcoming book, How to Price Your Digital Products to Sell: A Short, Clear Guide to Pricing Workshops, Downloads, and Expert-Led Offers — out on March 20, 2026.

After years of working with major corporations, entrepreneurs, and creators globally on digital products and pricing, it was time to share the secrets in a simple, easily accessible, and usable book. Read on to see exactly what it’s like…

Stop Guessing: Pricing Is a Decision

Most creators don’t have a pricing problem. They have a decision problem.

Creators like you and I look around at what other people charge. We scan marketplaces. We hesitate. Then we lower the number and stare at the page some more, waiting for confidence to arrive.

Confidence never arrives.

So, we launch a workshop for $25.
We sell a PDF for $9.
We price a course at $49 and wonder why it feels exhausting to promote.

The low prices don’t feel easier. They feel heavier. That’s because when our pricing is unclear, everything else becomes harder, including…

• Selling
• Positioning
• Confidence
• Authority
• Revenue

Pricing isn’t a technical step at the end of building an offer. Pricing is the structure that tells people how to see our work. If the price is unclear, the offer is unclear. If the price is misaligned, the buyer is misaligned. If the price is too low, the work feels small—even when it isn’t.

This book exists to solve the pricing problem quickly and cleanly. Not with spreadsheets. Not with formulas. Not with calculators.

With structure.

Pricing Isn’t About Being Nice

One of the most common mistakes creators make is pricing based on comfort. Creators ask…

• What feels reasonable?
• What feels fair?
• What feels safe?

But buyers don’t evaluate price based on our comfort. They evaluate the price based on perceived value and clarity.

When a price is too low, buyers don’t think, “What a generous expert!” They think, “Maybe this isn’t very substantial.” That’s because low prices don’t signal kindness. They signal uncertainty. And that uncertainty shows up everywhere:

• In our copy
• In our launch
• In our energy
• In our positioning

Pricing that clearly balances our output with perceived value does the opposite. It signals structure. It signals authority. It signals that the offer has weight. You and I don’t need to overprice our work. But we do need to align the price with the outcome.

This book will help you do that.

The Real Question Behind Pricing

Most creators ask, “What should I charge?” But the better question is this:

Where does this offer sit?

In other words, is this offer…

• An entry point?
• A core offer?
• A premium experience?

Every product needs a role. When the role is unclear, the price floats—and when the price floats, buyers hesitate. Pricing clarity comes from structure, and structure is what we’re building here.

Why Most Pricing Advice Doesn’t Work

There is no shortage of pricing advice online. You’ll hear…

• “Start low.”
• “Test the market.”
• “Charge what you’re worth.”
• “Price high to signal value.”

All of this sounds helpful… but none of it gives us a usable system. In fact, most advice falls into one of two extremes:

• Overly technical: Spreadsheets, margins, and formulas that don’t match the creator economy.
  
• Overly motivational: “Believe in yourself and raise your prices.”

Neither solves the real problem. We need a structure we can use immediately that works. That’s what we’re building. (Read on).
