I don't know why you're arguing. I didn't say it wasn't a valid choice. I simply offered my opinion.

It is based on a number of things: my knowledge of the resource people recommend, what those things cost, how often I have heard these plots recommended (never), and how much I, an author who can afford these, would pay.

You're entitled to your opinion as well. None of us know the sales, and we haven't run any experiments to see what sales would be at different price points, so none of us can truly say what the post profitable price point would be.

I'm not arguing - I'm simply offering my opinion. Which is that if a reader came in here and kept suggesting that an author should lower their price because the reader didn't want to pay that much, that would be considered uncool.

No, none of us know the amount of sales, or what the most profitable price point might be. But that's not up to us. That's up to Plot Bunny. And she didn't ask for pricing advice. If she wanted to sell them cheaper, she could put them up for sale at the 50% discount like she used to. But the lowest discount for quite a while has been 25%, which should probably suggest that she doesn't want to sell them any cheaper.

That's not really what I'm saying though. I'm saying the majority of people interested in this kind of product can't afford it.

That would be more like a reader coming in an saying they love to read but can't afford $20 ebooks.

But it's not really comparable because this is more of a business to business service.

You wouldn't price your premades at 5x market average just because you worked hard on them. You'd look at what comparable premades cost and price somewhere in that range. If you sold a lot, you'd raise prices. If you didn't sell enough, you might lower prices or try a new niche.

Of course, that's not one to one either, because you can only sell one premade, wheras an author can theoretically sell unlimited books/resource materials.

To me, there is a gap between a product designed to help new authors make money (by writing commerical books) being too expensive for the vast majority of new authors. That seems like a missed opportunity, which is why I previously suggested selling some products at a lower price point.

It's all theoretical at this point. Plot Bunny can do whatever they want, though I'll continue to hold the opinion I have.

I do think you are overestimating the financial resources of new authors. Hell, even uh... long term authors. Most authors don't have a lot of extra money.

I have heard so, so many authors say they have to check if they can afford a BookBub promo! BookBub! The most coveted promotion out there. They understand the value. They want the access. But they don't have the money.

They're going to spend the money somewhere else first, before they spend it on writing to market resources. (I mean, they'll buy a $5 eBook, maybe... I've had to really talk ppl into some of those too). Obviously, just my opinion, but it is based on my experience talking to many authors, both new and old hat, both broke and rolling in dough.

Sorry, but confused. Which ones are 25% off? These look like your normal prices unless I am mistaken. Also, how come there is no email address for customers to contact you if they have questions? Thanks!

They are all 25% off. The discount is automatically added when you add the template to your cart.
