What to price the things I make feels too much like guesswork to me. I would love to know any recommended advice for how to price digital products and services. How did you come up with the price for your project?

The website is really weird: there's no obvious way to play the video. Clicking on a word or paragraph plays the video at that place. So you can click on the letter "I" in the first sentence "I was just telling the" of the first paragraph.
I suppose you can directly access the video here: https://d3aeja1uqhkije.cloudfront.net/2013-07-16-michael-dea...

#9The book Monetizing Innovation is a book all about pricing [0]. It's a great read. I'd also recommend this talk by Rahul Vohra, founder of Superhuman, who talks about pricing with regards to product market fit [1].
