In this episode, Moran Weber interviewed Nur Lee Harel, Chief Awesomeness Officer @ EventHandler and a personal branding expert for R&D people. 

Even if you’re currently employed, having a strong personal brand is very important as it can get you a better job or better pay at the same job. In addition, you can also start monetizing your personal brand by acknowledging your own expertise and actually getting paid for speaking engagements. 

In this episode, Nur shared how to start valuing yourself as an expert, and start getting paid for your hard-working earned knowledge after years in tech; How do you define your product and start selling it, and most importantly: how do you put a price tag for the first time and persist even when faced with a 'no' from potential clients, which are usually the hardest parts. 

Nur emphasized the need to stop thinking about 'what they are willing to pay me' and start considering 'what I deserve to get paid'. In addition, It's much easier to make the jump from $100 to $1000 than to go from not asking at all to asking for $100. Nur shared her golden tips from 25 years of experience in the business world, in addition to being a Dev Communities Manager, a DevRel consultant, and an international tech conferences organizer and producer (such as JDevSummit IL, Leaders In Tech, React Next, Node TLV, and more).
