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?

Wandering in from network: I remember that it's the buyers who decide whether or not they want to put up that money.

I do tarot stuff. I stick a price of "how much effort this takes for me to do", roundabouts. Other people then get to decide whether or not they want to pay that.
