In my mind there's a sliding scale of perceived value:


1) Pay me to show you what to do.
  • DIY courses and other info-products.

2) Pay me to help you do it.
  • Coaching, consulting, etc.

3) Pay me to do it for you.
  • DFY services.

4) I'm doing it anyway.
  • I'm not waiting round for clients or customers to "approve" and pay me.
    I'm doing it anyway.


    OR

  • I'll create a progress thread and log what I'm doing.
    I'll drop it if it doesn't work out.
    I don't care if people see me go down cul-de-sac's and dead-ends.
    I'm doing it anyway.


    OR

  • Some clients could benefit from YouTube campaigns.
    I'm not going to ask if we can create a demo video ad for them.
    I'm doing it anyway.

5) I've already done it.
  • Hey Mr Customer.
    I've built XYZ.
    D'you want it or not?

    OR


  • Hey Mr Client.
    Here's a demo YouTube video ad.
    Do you want us to run it for you?
