What to charge?

Hi there, just a general question. I have just finished designing a logo for a friend. 4 initial concepts, various changes to chosen logo, lots of colour matching and numerous versions of the logo provided, each of them as EPs, gif, high and low res jpegs and document sized images.
I stopped the clock at 12 hours as I didn't want to charge too much but it took me longer thgsn that, I am charging 10 per hour as mates rates. My question(s) are is this an acceptable amount of time to spend on a job like this? And do you think it's a reasonable amount to charge a friend? I mam new to freelancing and I am conscious I may be a bit slow! Thank you in advance.

It's a bit low.  But, it's for a friend.  And, you're building your portfolio.  So, it's probably appropriate for this particular situation.  The 12 hours is not too much time.  You should initially up your rate to $15. hr., and advance from there.  This was a favor for a friend, so no harm, no foul.

    If it's happening every month then it's likely to be an auto-renewing subscription - there are instructions on this page for managing and stopping them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4098

  • What to charge to shoot & edit in HD vs SD.

    Hi all,
    I just received an inquiry from a company about producing some industrial as well as corporate marketing material in HD.
    I currently shoot and edit in SD using the Sony DSR-300 and Premiere CS3. I'd like to pursue the inquiry with a quote but i'm unsure as to what to charge.
    I'd like your opinions how much is generally charged to produce a typical video in HD as opposed to SD. I know there are many variables, but a ballpark percentage and/or examples would be appreciated.
    I know i'll have to rent an HDV or HD camera and playback deck. I'll also have to upgrade my aging system to be able to capture and edit the HD or HDV footage without problems. Also, i think it would be best to go tape based since the tapeless cameras require expensive memory sticks and additional equipment to off load footage.
    Hardware wise, my idea is as follows:
    Camera
    - Either the Canon H1 w/ tape, PMW-EX1 or AG-HVX200 w/ pc for capture & storage
    NLE
    - The Supermicro 7045A-WTB barebone tower
    - Harpertown E5450 or E5472 quad-core processor or the new intel Penryn family of processors that support the new SSE4.1 instructions
    - 4 gbs of ram
    - a 4 drive sata II raid 0 video array with hardware controller
    - separate sata II drives for system, storage and audio
    - blueray dvd burner
    - aja xena LHe HD SDI capture card
    - cineform Prospect HD
    - Nvida Quadro FX video card

    I think if you're going to be renting the camera, don't write off solid state recording. The cards do require some investment - if you're buying. But you're not buying, so just make sure the rental house includes enough of them (or a way to offload them) with your camera.
    As for what to charge? At a minimum, your price increase needs to cover the cost of the rentals. Beyond that, you should guesstimate how many other HD projects you can expect in the near future, and figure out some way to include the cost of the upgraded editing system spread over those future projects. Meaning if you can expect 10 more HD projects in the next year, divide the cost of the new system by ten and include that as a part of the price increase.

  • What to charge the client? I'm new to the field.

    I hope this is the appropriate forum for this question. I just got a contract gig for a medium-sized corporation and am doing their email news letters and web page management and design. I'm using javascript and will be doing some Flash when I finish my training in it. What I can't figure out is the going rate for this kind of work.
    Do you charge per hour or per project? They want to pay me $250 per email newsletter which takes me about 3 hours to do. I have no idea what to charge for the web page stuff. BTW I'm in the Silicon Valley area.

    Thanks for all the replies. I was just sent an email from the marketing manager that asked if I could add a logo and some text to an existing page and link to a new page which I would create. So one new page and mods to an existing page. I was asked if this could be done for not more than $500. So I'm getting the idea that this a good price to be getting? Sorry if I confused anyone, I will be using Dreamweaver for everything which will be programming in javascript not java. Like I said, I'm a novice. I only got this gig because I have a friend who's a VP there and he liked my website. But I was told I was being hired because the previous contractor was charging more money. This is Silicon Valley here in California so I guess they pay more here than in other places? Do any of you professionals know what the average pay is? Is there a place to go to find out? I don't want to end up charging too much for my novice work only to be outbid by someone else down the road.

  • What volt charger should I get for my MacBook? It is a DC to AC inverter?

    Hi, I recently purchased a inverter charger that has an outlet to charge a computer and can be used as a typical USB charger for a phone. The charger says that it has a continuous charge of 120V but a maximum of 150V. I don't understand what the problem is though because on the MacBook charger it says that it's intake is 100-240V and all of the other outputs and inputs match the specifications for the charging device. A normal phone charger that you can plug into the wall worked in this charger, so is it the computer or the charger? And also if it is the computer, what voltage amount should I get? Thank you very much!

    Your Macbook charger will specify the number of watts it uses (very fine print somewhere on the charger brick).  Your inverter MUST be able provide at least that much power, or I'm guessing your Macbook charger would have problems.

  • I have a two different charges for one album. How can I figure out what each charge is?

    I purchased an album and got charged two different prices. How can I figure this out?

    As has already been said,  The onboard ethernet is 10/100/1000 and capable of autosensing which speed it's connected at.  
    What is more in question is the service you have.  I don't remember if cable is the same, but with DSL, there are two connection methods.
    1.  IP Based.  A static IP internet connection that is always on.  Usually three things are required information that can be given via your ISP.
    A) IP Address
    B) Gateway
    C) DNS Servers (Without these the PC cannot resolve DNS names so it doesn't know that http://www.website.com = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx IP address.
    You can get there by right clicking Network Neighborhood, and click PROPERTIES.  Then right lick Local Area Connection and click PROPERTIES.  You can click the TCP/IP setting and click the properties button and enter the proper information to get you online.
    2.  PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol Over Ethernet).  PPPoE requires software from the ISP and usually all that is required is installation of the software and a USER NAME AND PASSWORD.  IP, DNS, and Gateway are all auto-determined by the remote server that the PPPoE software connects to.
    Does yours use one of these?  Most people use a combination router/firewall and plug in either settings.  If you've already configured your settings and are still getting no access, suggest the following:
    a) Reset your cable-modem, then your PC and try again.
    b) Check your cable connections.  You may have an intermittent connection on your net card/wire.  check the pins and look to make sure they make clean contact.  Try another cable to make sure there are no broken/intermittent conductors in the cable.

    i have people all the time wanting me to teach them the iphone.  What should I charge to do this?

    you will need to be very careful about doing this.  i am in IT and while i have no problem helping people with computer stuff, i make it very clear that if they do something that breaks their computer, i will not fix it on their schedule but my own.  i have also written a number of documents about how to do things on the computer, and i also make it very clear that i am not responsible for anything that they do that breaks their computer.
