As a coach in the esports industry, one of the most important steps in your career is determining how much to charge for your services. It can be daunting, but understanding the value you provide in terms of both time and knowledge is a crucial step in determining your worth.

## Session Length

When setting price, start by considering the length of each session and the amount of time spent preparing for it. A standard session length is usually between 45 and 90 minutes, however - it is important to ensure that you are providing enough value to your clients during that time. Consider your clients’ satisfaction level after each session, and be open to adapting to their unique needs and preferences. You can expect to take more time to prepare for some of the advanced sessions while taking less for the simpler ones.

## Experience

It is also essential to clearly understand your qualifications and experience as a coach. Consider any certifications or degrees you may have, as well as any relevant work, experience, and achievements within the game itself. If you're using [Coachify](https://coachify.gg/auth/register?utm_content=article_know_your_worth) then make sure all of this is highlighted in your profile!

Emphasizing each one of those is a great way to increase your value as a coach. You gain experience with every session you hold and every client you get.

## Market

After taking all of the above factors into consideration, you will be ready to define your price. Start by looking into the market for coaches with similar experience to your own. The market has been going wild lately, with prices going anywhere from $5 to $350 per session. There is no right or wrong answer regarding the price. A coach is able to charge anything his clients are willing to pay.

## Price

If you are just starting, begin with prices on the lower end of the spectrum, making your services more affordable, so you can focus on generating positive reviews and building up your name recognition within the space. Building a strong, active community is a great way to boost your reputation!

In Part 2 of this guide, we will discuss various pricing options available, including fixed prices, negotiable prices, and even when you should offer free sessions!

## Bonus

The Golden Rule – The more your services are desired, the more you’ll be able to raise the price. Remember, determining your worth is a long-term process! Stay sharp, and always provide your clients with the value they deserve. You’ll be shocked by the results.
