How does pricing work at Rebel Yell Creative?

Our pricing approach at Rebel Yell Creative

TL:DR from the cats of Rebel Yell Creative: We've got options for all.

When we talk about pricing for coaching and partnering at Rebel Yell Creative, you might see a variation of "it depends." And that's because... it does.

But that's not helpful : ) So here's a closer look at how pricing works at Rebel Yell Creative, and the three tiers of options (plus one catch-all opportunity).

BTW: cringe at the idea of coaching? Me too. I wrote about it; see why we use the term, and how its different from most coaching.

DIY podcasting, creative, and funding

Doing it yourself can be powerful. Satisfying. And the start of a new love affair with that new skill and practice.

But a lot of DIY advice is scattered all over the internet, and it takes FOREVER to pull together a comprehensive picture. I know this because back when I started podcasting, it took me approximately five million website articles and ten million hours to figure out the answer to one question: how do you make a podcast?

So with DIY resources from Rebel Yell creative, you can skip all that. And you'll pay a small and reasonable price to do it.

• Creative Review and Reframe Workbook ($8 digital / $15 print)

Coaching packages / bundles

Let's say you're not keen on going fully DIY. You'd like some guidance on making a podcast, or getting unstuck creatively, or creating a funding strategy. At the same time, you have a budget.

With coaching and partnering packages, get some personalized advice and guidance to get you going on your adventure. Plus, if you decide you want more, you get a discounted rate on personalized projects (the next option).

Personalized podcast, creative and funding projects

Now we're in it for the long haul. If you'd like help developing your podcast, editing episodes, or overall showrunning, we can do that. If you'd like ongoing help with creative work, done. If you'd like a long-term grant writer, strategist, and partner, let's goooo.

Pricing in this area will depend on your specific show, work, or needs. Each project will be a different amount of time, meaning a different rate.

Again: not helpful : )

So here's some example ranges of how this kind of work might price out:

• Podcast Show Development: You want someone to take the show from idea all the way to launch. Depending on the show, the time commitment could be many hours per week, or just a few across a month. Total costs could range from $1000 to $2500.

• Podcast Episode Production: You want help scripting, recording, and / or editing each idniviual episode. Depending on the type of show, whether it's an interview show, a chat show, or a narrative podcast, this could require more or less work. Typical costs might range from $500 to $1000 per episode.

• Podcast Showrunning: You want someone to act as full show producer, guiding the content, calendars, and communications. For this kind of arrangement, we'll set up a six-12 month arrangement that might average out to $1000-2000 a month.

• Funding Strategist and Writer: You want someone to create grant applications, shepherd strategy, and keep track of all the admin involved. For this kind of arrangement, we'll set up a six-12 month arrangement that might average out to $500 a month.

Pick My Brain (and pay what you want)

Let's say you're not sure if any of these are for you. But you have some specific questions you'd like to figure out. Or you have an idea for a show and want to think it through.

The "Pick Your Brain" session is a one-time chance to ask away! And best of all - you name the price. Really.

Sliding scales & PWYW

This kind of collaboration shouldn't only be available to people with more disposable income. So we offer sliding scales based on budgets, needs, organization status, and more. Plus, some sessions and offerings are pay-what-you-want!

Non-standard stuff

With all of these options, I want to help creative people and groups get real. I want to offer a perspective beyond rah-rah bullshit, one that actually speaks to real people trying to make real, good work.

What does that mean? Rebel Yell Creative is all about:

• Neurodivergent-friendly advice and guidance. Most creative and marketing advice is based on neurotypical practices. I know this because I'm autistic, and every article and event telling me I have to spit out an elevator speech to strangers, or cold pitch a literary agent, has me cowering in the corner. I'm skipping all that, and focusing on what works for your communication styles and needs.

• Intersectional understanding, at all times. Most marketing and creative advice comes from cis white men or women. And the advice is absolutely oblivious of the factors that can play into making goals and dreams a reality. They ignore systemic inequalities that will make it harder for many people. I'm talking about that, and thinking about how it plays into all guidance.

• Grounded, small, focused goals. I'm not going to show you how to reach millions of people. I don't know how to do that, and honestly, my messages aren't appealing to that many people. I believe in the power of small. And reaching the people who need to hear you, even if that's just one person.

• Art as resistance. Not sure what I mean? Listen to The Art of Resistance Podcast for examples of writers, musicians, and other artists who use their art as resistance to tyranny, patriarchy, and the status quo.

• No formula. Seems like every marketing or creative seminar is espousing some framework or IP that they swear will work for everyone. Come on. Maybe if 'everyone' is of a certain demographic and income, that might be true. But in reality? Nope. Everyone is different, every creative venture is different, and every bit of advice should be too.

• DIY or personalized? All good. Learning how to do something yourself can be incredible. I taught myself how to podcast, and the satisfaction of seeing that work turn into something I'm proud of? Beyond. So I'm not dissuading anyone from DIY, and in fact offer multiple options to support your DIY journey.

I offer creative coaching that's not corporate bullshit. Creative coaching and DIY for individuals and organizations rooted in reality. Creative guidance and resources for introverts and neurodiverse as much as the extroverts.
