• How Usage Rights Can Help You Charge $10K More (Live Coaching Replay)

  How do you tell a brand they can't use your content forever without killing the deal? What's the difference between licensing and amplification rights? And how do you actually enforce usage rights after they expire? In this Wizard's Guild coaching session, we break down the numbers that transformed deals from $1-5K into five figures—the exact percentages to charge for licensing (15%) and amplification (25%), how to handle perpetual rights requests, and why usage rights often make you more money than the content itself. Here's what we cover: The exact formula for pricing licensing vs. amplification rights (and when to use each) How to handle perpetual rights requests without leaving money on the table Why video pitches consistently outperform written emails for cold outreach The Instagram tagging strategy that gets brands to notice you organically How to overcome pitching paralysis and build real momentum Plus, real coaching on differentiating work-for-hire from sponsored content, timing seasonal pitches, and finding sponsors for newsletters.
