Am new on pattern releasing so donāt know how can I put a price on my pattern that I made. Beacause I donāt find away to price it couldnāt share it with others. Hope who had there experience to help me.
Go to your āMy Shopā and scroll to the pattern you want price adjusted. The gear under the pattern, on the right, has the āedit priceā that you are looking for. Put in your price, if it is free, put 0 and select āupdate priceā.
Once you do that you need to switch the toggle from āprivateā to āpublicā. It is located next to the āgearā we found earlier.
Thanks dear for your explenation. Was asking before that how you price the pattern in which way of calculation. Is there any specific criteria to follow. Or just you put any price you want.
I struggle with this as well. I think for the most part patterns are very cheap and we should all value our work much higher. It is hard with so many free patterns out there which really devalue our products. You also need to remember both Ribblr and Stripe take a cut, so make sure you add on a bit more to take that into account. You could have a look at patterns similar to yours or in the same category to see what the typical range is.
I follow some established pattern designers on Twitter and have seen discussions where they say a cheaper price does not always equal an increase in sales. I find a good way to kickstart sales is to give discounts on pattern launch etc. It took a 50% sale to get any sales on Ribblr (and I ended up with very little after fees), but I am hoping those who bought will upload their projects to help out the cause. Going forward I will have higher base prices and have occasional sales.
Really good to try at the beginning wont get that much but it help you to know how to deal with prices and i same time get benifit too. Too cheep is really kick out your effort and time to make it. Is better to sell the finished project rather than only pattern but also not that much sell
Thatās a really good question.
I think itās easier to start by following pricing of other designers with same type of product and level of complexity. You can then find your own sweet spot.
By the way, the designers I see whoās patterns perform really well tend to promote it well on social media as well as a few other things:
Take good quality photos
Get pattern testers, and ask them to start a journal & review the pattern
Run sales - people who added your patterns to their wishlist will be notified
Ask people to favorite your shop
Donāt forget that your patterns are automatically promoted by Ribblr both on the platform and on social media. For example, if someone likes something similar theyāre likely to see your pattern on their āDiscoverā section on their homepage.
I struggle with this as well, Iāll have some of my patterns on sale for only $1 just to try and get someone to buy it, but I still have not gotten one single sale on any of my patterns. I started out with them as free, and with my 4 patterns at the time, I had over 200 downloads, but as soon as I put them for $1, nothing. Iām still very frustrated with this and Iām not sure what to do. Thanks guys!
You can just make some free and others to be purchased may help that also can follow what āSaarā wrote. Good luck and wish you successful in your work.
