What Are You Worth?

I read some comments about face painters being paid less than balloon modellers perhaps because their expenses were les. This made the writer feel undervalued.

That's natural ... after all, an a gig, you are both doing your best and bothe contributing equally to the entertainment. If this were the case, all contributors would be paid equally, and we know they are not. Depending on the gig, there may be a venue, security, production (lights, sound, staging etc), catering, management .... and so on. Each is paid the 'going rate' ... or as much as they are able to get above the standard rate.

Don't we all know people who continually get high fees but we know that their actual skill and experience level is below our own? Why is that?

The answers to all this are simple and I'll be addressing them in some following posts so that you can understand the machanisms at work and how you can use them to get better fees for your work.

Watch this space .... it'll be worth it!
