Overview
Pricing is the single biggest reason creative talent leave money on the table. This playbook walks through the four pricing levers — day rate, usage rights, exclusivity, and overtime — with real bands from active YurMe bookings.
It's deliberately opinionated: we recommend specific defaults and explain when to flex them. Built for talent setting up their YurMe profile, but useful for anyone negotiating their first paid creative gig.
