Where to draw the line between free and paid

In this episode, Frankie Tortora and Steve Folland have a chat in response to a question from creative mentor & workshop tutor, Sophie Roberts. She says:

“Hi Frankie & Steve!

I’m Sophie — a creative mentor and workshop tutor at West Plum Studio. I help people spend more time crafting.

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.

Thanks!”
