Jasmine Designs, Pricing Queen for Freelancers

Comment EMAIL to get all the templates delivered to your inbox, hot’n’fresh babyyyy I’ve gone back to these email templates time and time again to send to past clients (or even would-have-been-but-didn’t-have-the-budget clients) and turned my inbox into income. Because clients aren’t mind readers. Because we sometimes just need to frame it right to be hired. Because there’s nothing worse than staring at a blank email screen thinking WTF do I write? I got you All the templates are in a Google Doc ready for you to swipe, season and hit send. All you gotta do is comment EMAIL

Surviving primary school politics = surviving freelancer life. You know what’s wild? Every “weakness” those kids pointed out turned into my business superpower. Too eager? That’s called having a strong work ethic. Too intense? Clients love passionate people. Weird interests? Niche expertise pays better anyway. All those years of navigating mean girls and social rejection was basically a masterclass in handling difficult clients and project ghosting. Getting excluded from lunch tables taught me how to network with strangers. Being the “new kid” constantly? Hello, pitching skills. The irony is beautiful - the same traits that made me an outsider in the schoolyard make me indispensable in the boardroom. Every eye roll from a popular girl was training for every client who doesn’t “get” my vision at first. Plot twist: that quiet kid eating alone wasn’t learning how to disappear. She was learning how to build something so good that people would come find her instead. (Shoutout to my now husband who saw potential in a flat-chested girl while sporting a bowl cut himself. True love is being weird together from day one 😂) #FromWeirdKidToCEO #TraumaToTriumph #FreelancerLife #BuildingBusiness #MillennialEntrepreneurs #freelance #Freelancer #freelancingfemales

I think I was scared to share this story because I felt ashamed. Ashamed that I let the lines blur. Ashamed that I, of all people who talk so passionately about the value of relationships, ended up in one I’m not proud of. For a few years, this wasn’t just “a client” or “another project on the plate” It was a huge part of my life. The work was incredible. The opportunities were wild. The relationship meant a lot to me. And that’s why the ending felt so heavy. It didn’t feel like wrapping up a project. It felt like grieving a friendship. Here’s what I see now: Not every relationship in business is meant to last forever. Some teach you how strong you are. Some teach you how clear you need to be. Some teach you where the boundary actually lives. This one did all three. And while I’ll never be thrilled about how it ended, I am grateful for the role it played in shaping me… as a creative, as a business owner, and as a human who now knows peace is part of the price tag.

It’s giving branding that ends up in the toilet. Yeah that’s the post, it’s Friday. Hey Siri, play old school 90s.

And because no two are the same, I get to use MY creative brain to help THEIR creative brain. Cos some freelancers need help fixing their prices… others don’t Some need a second set of eyes on their offers… some don’t A few need help with messaging and speaking to the right kind of client… others have that nailed And most, if not all, need the permission slip to build the business they actually want rather than the one they were told they should. This is why 1:1 coaching suits the way I teach, and in a world of sweeping advice and fitting into labels, I think it’s more valuable for someone to ask “What do YOU WANT, let’s find a way to get you there with your skills, brain and business” Ps if you have been a student or are currently a student, whether that be 1:1, noodle, master freelancer or something else, help a gal out and let me know below if I’m on the money here… pretty sure I am #creative #freelance #freelancer #designer #freelancingfemales

Today I was on Ticker talking about all things Claude Design and how it’s sending many designers into an absolute freak out. Because if the AI is now the one doing the slide decks, building the landing pages, coding and coworking and creating things for clients… where does that leave them? And I get it, truly I do. When Claude Design was mentioned on a call this week, my face had subtitles I needed to hide. But like most innovation, there are good parts and bad parts. But here’s what to remember if you’re a designer mid-spiral… 1. Claude Design has killed the excuses, but not the designers 2. If your job can be swapped for a prompt, that’s not your genius 3. Those designers scared are likely the same selling software access and hours rather than expertise. Those who are going to make this new era work for them will be the ones who see problems before they exist and sell the solution, who focus on the personal connection than the prompt engineering and who utilised AI for the service it is in harmony with their own skills Anyway, that’s my two cents Obviously said in Kent Brockman voiceover… #freelancer #creative #designer #claudedesign #aicreation @weareticker

I started serving Pricing Gut Checks earlier this year and here’s what I’m seeing: - Most freelancers are charging too low, prioritising being liked over being paid well enough to do a good job - Half of the creatives who ordered are trying to serve as many people as possible rather than choosing a specialty and it’s making their messaging mean nothing - Two thirds of creatives are relying on ONE pricing method to keep their business running and it’s the MOST expensive one for their own sanity and time, but the least profitable And every single freelancer and creative was missing a really simple shift that could make them thousands after they change it. And that to me is the biggest reason to grab a Pricing Gut Check for yourself. Comment CHECK to grab yours

Genuine question: does anyone read or hear “you’re not behind” and sigh with relief, grateful that some stranger has clocked their coordinates and said “this is fine” And who wants to be fine?! No thanks Don’t worry, I hear the irony. But I just don’t think it’s helpful. Not for the freelancer who wants to feel like their financial goals are worth fighting for. Not for the creative who’s worked hard to get to a place where their creativity is valuable. Not for the designer or illustrator or content creator or creative business owner who knows that there’s more work to be done and is completely disinterested in being coddled. This is for the high achiever who needs that fire under their butt to make the damn things happen. The $10k, $20k, even $30k months that GET to feel normal The client flow that ACTUALLY flows The confidence built up to a DANGEROUS level because they know this is what they are supposed to be doing. Behind? Bullshit Swipe through. This one’s for you.

Comment PODCAST for the link Over 8 totally bingeable episodes I break down the 6 shifts I made to build 6 figure success in my own creative freelance business and how you can too. All while staying solo, sane and sleeping. If you’re a freelancer or creative with six figures (first revenue, then profit) in your sights for 2026, this is absolutely for you!

I’m gonna break the fourth wall for a sec. This carousel either called you out or called you home. It either got you all defensive or made you feel less alone. And now you’re either pissed off or kinda wanna cry with relief. Both are fine. And this is going to sound harsh, but the sooner you accept that charging more means actually being better than others and seeing that through, the sooner you start making money from the creative genius that is genuinely worth the price tag. Ironically, I’m in mindset coaching for this. Not because I don’t know it. Because knowing it, articulating it and living it are all very different things. Save this for when you need it. Even if that’s now.
