Figuring out how to price your product can be a tricky topic. In this video, I will show you how to price your work competitively for Etsy or other online marketplaces. 

How should you be pricing your artwork for blacksmith projects or other handcrafted items? In this video, we will be discussing how to price your artwork for forged items.

If how to price your product has always been a tough subject for you, we hope this video will shine some light on the subject! Every artisan has different factors on how to price products, but there are some common threads on how to price your work.

Of course, how to price handmade items will be more difficult than a common manufactured item where you could calculate exact costs and time going into a batch. An artists pricing strategy is a bit different though. 

Pricing strategies in marketing vary from artist to artist, but your prices will reflect several main factors... your cost, your time, and what the market will hold. Keeping these factors in mind will help you adjust your pricing for profit. 

This video is primarily to helps smiths with blacksmithing projects to sell figure out how much to charge. But these things apply to you, even if you aren't a blacksmith selling your art.
