charge

get paid

well Chris thats up to you but remember how long and what it has taken you to get where you are and the knowledge you have, what has taken you many years to acchive, so I say anywhere from 75 per and up would be fair,but add more if you do it at a pool room and give them a cut. jmo

damn i was way under that.
 
For me there differences- it depends also on the person. If i have a young guy who hasn t that much money- and he s willing to get many lessons we ll find a way (as long it s even fun for me). On the other side you have to know for yourself what you are worth. Don t be too cheap- and if you re giving lessons including some material you made for your students...always let them pay for that (or just don t forget to include it). If you re a professional instructor you need to get *good* money- you have to live from that salary :) if you re just giving lessons for fun in your freetime, try to get the money where u think it s worth (and free time is a luxus for me :p)

i took from 7.50 Euro up to 45 Euro (then including video-material etc. , of course-and sometimes some material for further *homework* or so). It all depends what you mean- the other guy will let u know if it s too expensive :)

thanks i do not do vid.
 
Anything around $50-$75/hr is fair. Less than that you are shorting yourself.
more than that, people can't afford it.

I'd say cheaper range for beginners since most of the info will be basic. So say $50/hr for the rookies.

More experienced guys who you will be sharing secrets with essentially should pay $75/hr. They should pay a premium on the knowledge.

Now if you don't feel confident that you are selling that type of product or you can't get across the info you are trying to share, then charge in blocks for lessons. Like $100 for bridging and proper stance.

That's what most people would pay for I think. As long as you don't stare at the clock and people get just a little more info than they thought, people will come back for years.

From a student perspective.

Don't sell yourself short. If you can convey what you know the lessons are worth more than what you can charge.

Putting this in perspective many folks claim the only way to learn is to put down money on the game. If this is true how much
would you earn in 2 hours playing $5 9 ball against an intermediate player? Bet its more than you'd ever dream of charging. Probably more
than you could get for a formal lesson.

I think you're probably digging for a number that the market will accept and the answer depends on what you're willing to do for your
customers and how well you can teach what you know. But the spread is too wide to give you a perfect number.

There's one thing I always tell folks trying to sell a new product or service but don't know what to charge.

"It takes only 5 seconds to lower your price. It takes 5 years to raise it."

The market will tell you what your lessons are worth. Start high but be dedicated to the product if you want this to be a decent
source of revenue. With a little luck and dedication you'll have a steady stream of customers.
