Consider parity pricing

Hot Tip #94 is to consider parity pricing.

A $99 USD Laravel 101 Course to a developer working in Silicon Valley is the equivalent of a dinner for two. $99 USD to a developer working in Mumbai or Maputo is a completely different story.

With the rise of remote working, location-based parity pricing gets more tricky, but offering it — if you can — is the right thing to do.
