You and I have had a few conversations related to this topic. It is in our nature to share and help, so sometimes we fall down in the "asking for payment/return" department. I realize it's up to me to determine the value of my work and communicate that clearly. Thanks, Maya, for summing it up. Chris Brogan's post got me thinking, but I'm glad you took it a step further.

It's the telling of the story, or the embodiment of that story within a product or a physical transcription, that people are willing to pay for. A story without a vessel is still just an abstract concept -- if you can't hold it or experience it, you can't negotiate its worth.
