Hot take: Friends should be willing to pay more to support a homie’s business rather than asking for a discount.

I would hope for my friends to pay more because I would like to maintain a professional relationship. Additionally, offering discounts to friends may create an expectation that discounts are available, and that could create a negative impact on my business.

@tanzirul_huda i agree with you. how many of your friends are using your service without paying ?

Disagree with the hot take. You need friendly but honest feedback. Give it away to your friends in exchange for their feedback. Its worth more than they can ever pay you.

@prathamnandha i never ask my friends who start a project for a discount, i always pay for their product or service and support them. Do you think that friends should ask for discounts when you start a project or support you by paying ?
