A question about selling creativity.

So hey. People who make any kind of regular money off selling things they can do. Particularly creative things (extra particularly word things), but anything, really. Tarot, coding skills, whatever, I'm sure there are things I can't think of.

How do you beat down the feeling of "I don't deserve to be paid for this, I'm not good enough, there's got to be someone better out there you could get this from"? Or ignore it? Or however you defeat it enough to actually put price to things?

I have to figure out how to word this but the shot version is I give some of it away fro free. I don't give all of it away fro free but I give enough of it away that, if someone wants more, they can pay for it but if they don't, they still got something and that helps a little? I do't know.

I don't expect this will help you but it's all I got. Give samples away, samples are awesome and you are still doing creative things and yes.
