There are 3 factors to consider when it comes to pricing:

• What are your costs?
• What’s your profit margin? 
• What’s the market/competition doing?

PRO TIP:  This exercise should be done early in your journey to ensure your niche has enough PM to be sustainable.  Shoot for at least a 30% PM or more.

Where to start:

• Find your costs

Next:

• Use this method to give you an idea of a starting price:
  • Costs x 2 = Wholesale price
  • Costs x 4 = Retail price

Next:

• Use retail price to find your profit margin
