When I've started Onigiri a while ago, I envisioned it as robust to for freelancers & consultants to fulfil all their needs at once. I'm still onto this path and my long-term goal is definitely provide robust tool for self-employed to cover their needs to grow & run their business. But a while ago I've met a nice cool "reality check" dude which says you: "Well. You're bootstrapping. You're limited with time, resources & you actually in a big red ocean" So that's why I decided to niche down and turn to path where I can build best in class yet stupidly simple invoicing for freelancers & consultants still having my goal in mind. I spend whole weekend to finally reflect this in the landing page https://onigiri.one/ Some of the lessons need to be learned by own experience and this is one of them. Niche down, focus, then scale.

High Prices Scare Clients Away? Nope, They Attract the Ones Who Mean Business. Yes, most freelancers, including you fear about the high prices they charge. You worry that if you raise your rates, you'll lose clients and have to go back to working for peanuts. Here's the truth: → High prices filter out the tire-kickers → They attract clients who value quality and results → Clients willing to invest are serious about achieving their goals But what's the root of the fear? Lack of solid process and the mindset: "What if I fail to deliver results" I've been there myself! But let's flip the scene now. Picture this: You’re a premium service provider. You know your shit, delivered exceptional results, and built a reputation. Now, imagine setting your prices low. What happens? You attract clients who: - Haggle for discounts - Question your worth - Drain your energy Instead, set your prices high. Here's what you'll notice: - Clients respect your expertise - They trust your process - They value the results you deliver Why? High prices are a signal. They signal that you mean business. They communicate that you deliver top-notch value. Don’t be afraid to set high prices. But how exactly can you position your services as high-ticket and attract serious clients? Without being a jerk? How to even start? That's exactly what we teach inside our paid community. You the exact strategies to do just that. DM me "HIGH-TICKET" to know more.
