Ask HN: How to determine what to charge for and how much to charge?
But if you do something innovative, how do you determine:
1. What parts of your service to charge for?
2. How much to charge?
All businesses do some things for free. But in order to have a business, you have to make money. How do you work out the details of what parts of what you do justify charging X so the rest of it makes sense -- especially if you are doing something different that you can't (readily) find examples of anywhere?
Edit: Just to be clear, I am not a programmer. That is not the business space I am looking to develop.
Don't let that stop you from using programming examples, but I'm in a different career field. Though I do have a Certificate in GIS and I am trying to do something GIS-related (at least map related as part of it) and 100 percent online that I don't think is normally done remotely, among other innovations.
