Where to draw the line between free and paid

About this episode

The episode discusses how to determine what content to offer for free versus what to charge for in a business, particularly in the crafting world.

"My question is around how to know where to draw the line between what you’ll give away for free vs what you’ll charge for in your business? In the crafting world there is so much free information available online. I’ve learnt lots over the years from generous free content that others have shared. I’m more than happy to share my own content for free but there does need to come a point where you start to charge otherwise it’s just not a business! I’d love to hear your thoughts on this."
