Keep your prices steady, keep the chat respectful and still give real buyers a clear way to say yes.
What “too expensive” can actually mean
When someone says the price is high, it is usually one of a few things.
- They genuinely like you but are not sure if the content is worth that number.
- They can afford it but are used to haggling with other creators.
- They want more access than they are willing to pay for.
- They never planned to buy and are just reacting to the offer.
Prosper replies differently depending on which type they sound like.
First response when someone pushes on price
The first reply sets the tone. We stay calm, clear and kind.
What we aim to do
- Show you are confident in your own value.
- Explain what they actually get for the price.
- Leave the door open if they change their mind later.
What we avoid
- Apologising for your price.
- Dropping the price straight away just to save the sale.
- Getting into long debates about money with people who clearly do not want to buy.
Different paths based on the type of buyer
They chat often, respond well and only now question the price. We calmly remind them what is included and, if it makes sense, offer a smaller option instead of discounting the main one.
They push for deals on everything. We hold the main price, keep replies short and may offer a simple, cheaper piece once. If they still complain, we let them sit. They can come back when they are ready to pay properly.
They never buy and always argue. We stay polite, stop sending offers and treat them as background chat rather than a sales focus.
Using smaller options instead of discounts
To protect your brand and avoid endless discount codes, we prefer to change the offer, not the price.
Examples
- Offer a shorter clip for a lower price, instead of dropping the full price.
- Offer a single piece from a bundle, while keeping the bundle price firm.
- Invite them to start with a lighter level of content before moving up.
Why this works
- Fans who value you will still get a way to try you without you looking cheap.
- Your main prices stay consistent for everyone.
- You avoid training buyers to always wait for a discount.
When we are happy to walk away
Not every objection needs to be “saved”. Some should simply end.
- If they insult you or your content while asking for cheaper prices.
- If they keep demanding more for less after clear answers.
- If they threaten to unsubscribe over a single price point.
Prosper stays respectful, closes the conversation and focuses on people who actually support your work.
Keeping your page consistent across all buyers
Price consistency is a big part of feeling premium. The system we run in DMs backs that up.
- We use clear ranges you approve in advance for different content levels.
- We do not give one buyer a secret deal and then charge another full price for the same thing.
- If there is a planned sale, it is for a clear reason and clear time window.
What this looks like for you as a creator
You do not need to personally argue with people over money. Your role stays simple.
Your side
- Tell us what feels fair for your time, content and access.
- Let us know if any price point starts to feel too low or too high.
- Share feedback if a type of buyer starts to annoy or drain you so we can adjust how we deal with them.
Prosper side
- Hold your value in every conversation.
- Give genuine buyers clear reasons to feel good about paying your rates.
- Filter out the people who only ever want to argue about price.
The aim is simple. A page where prices feel firm and fair, where fans know what to expect, and where you earn without feeling like you have to justify every dollar.
