Pricing my works/products

Discussion started by Blender-Arcturus

I look other products before I price mine but market always makes me feel like people are selling their models at low prices. I work hard to create my models and when I put them for like 3 or 10 dollars I feel kinda sad. Am I struggling at designing so I see my works so valuable or people are sellng their models at really low prices? What do you think and what should I do ? Ps: I have no sales yet :(

Well Bud,
You just recently opened your account and you have seven models. Research suggests you should have a minimum of around 30-50 models when you first open for business.
I have 31 models that I uploaded over the course of a year and a half and average two sales per month.
Some of my models have sold several times so it may seem like 5 dollars is low for a thing but if you sell it 10 time it is 50 bucks. since I started I've made a grand total of 120 bucks (1.5 yrs) and I think since I should have twice as many models up by now, that I'm actually doing pretty good.
Most of my models are low priced because that is what they are worth in this market. If I want to charge more I have to work harder making more complex and interesting or more useful models.
You can find hundreds of oil barrels and shipping containers for free.
You have to be patient because there are thousands of modelers here and on other sites to compete with that know their craft. It can be done with hard work and dedication.
I would suggest also spending time doing research. There are many tutorials on youtube on how to be successful selling models. I found it very useful to go through every page of every model category that interested me here on cgt to see what models are here, what the pricing, quality is like.
You find a model from someone with lots of models, lots of likes and lots of positive reviews. Look at the wire frames and texture sets etc.

Thanks a lot for your detailed answer. I never thought about watching tutroials to be successul seller, I will watch asap. I know shipping containers and oil barrels are pretty basic, I would publish them for free but I want to level up fast and I didn't meant them. I expected to see higher prices for combat helmet because I think they are iconic and really cool besides I looked for some plane/jet models and saw there are free models for f-16 exc. It is really nice that everyone can access and use them but I find quite hard to design a realistic fighter jet.It is because of my lack in designing,texturing but I like designing planes and I probably want to sell them too if they are good in a standard. Even if they are great it will be still hard for me to sell while there are free or cheap ones this is what I meant. I am designing for fun so it is not my primary target to sell and earn a lot, I just wanted to know your opinons about the market prices and selling. Thank you again for help

Working towards your goals and getting better at something takes time and effort but it should make you feel better.
I wouldn't worry to mush about what someone ells is doing (like giving work away for free, etc.), just work towards your own goals.

You probably should lower some expectations and do the things you do because you want to do them. Don’t expect instant results or big money returns because then you might get disappointed and lose motivation to continue improving. Try to get up to level before you trow yourself into the arena.

Maybe set smaller goals first and work towards getting some results on those?

Motivation dissipates when energy has no effects so use your energy to get to tangible results.
You can set your goals all the way up there but you have to respect the process otherwise you gonna keep hitting walls.

I actually have no expactations for big money. I haven't designed anything to sell yet. I arrange my old designs(5months or less) I just design something I think it is nice then if it looks good or it is something that people might benefit I sell. I just wanted to be sure about my works value, thanks for your respond, I wish you a wonderful day.
