About this episode
Do you believe charging guests to appear on your podcast is ethical? Today, we’re revisiting the controversial pay-to-play podcast model and the larger conversation around setting fair prices for services. We also share a clarification from a podcast news story we covered in episode #236. Go check that out for more context. Beyond that, this conversation turns into a bigger discussion on pricing, value, and how service-based business owners determine what to charge. If you’ve ever struggled with setting your rates or understanding your worth, our community offers insights that may shift your perspective.
