A particular quote from P.T. Barnum comes to mind...

• larrys 13y ago
  I've always noticed that there is sometimes a correlation between those that make money and those that can understand what a "sucker" will go for. What I mean is that many people make money by understanding the stupidity of people and taking advantage of that. As opposed to thinking all logically with intelligence as far as why would someone pay me to do that! It's so simple! An example of this (that might hit home to the tech crowd) is a "tech guy/gal" who under prices what they do thinking it is simple to install open source software on someone's box. Instead of realizes that to a "normal" it's a big ball of confusion and they would be quite pleased to just have an installed turnkey product with 5 minutes of handholding. I can't stress this enough. You get paid for what you know that someone else's doesn't know. And you deserve to. So don't give it away without getting paid.
