# MakerSignal Monetization Action Pack

## How much should I charge for a brand deal? What is my rate card?

Level: PRO

Build a quote from production effort, deliverables, distribution, usage, exclusivity, and revisions. Use your costs and comparable scoped offers as inputs; no follower multiplier produces a universal fair price.

## How it really works
Different rights and obligations change what the client is buying. Itemizing scope makes negotiation and comparison more meaningful.

## Worked example (illustrative, not a verified case)
Illustrative arithmetic: 6 hours at your chosen $50 planning rate plus $50 expenses gives a $350 cost baseline. Rights and profit are separate; this is not a market-rate benchmark.
