rates...
I've heard that you should start your fee at your largest outdoor hat. Then keep in mind what kind of rate you'd like to be working for in the next two to three years, and charge that.
I like Peter's advice, set a rate youre comfortable working for, then once people star paying that double it.
Wen fielding a call for a gig find out as much as you can from the client. Who the show is for, How many people, Where is it, for what company, etc, and then it's your goal to guestimate what kind of budget the client is working with. If you quote too high (in regard to their budget, the client will usually try and talk you down.. this means your quoting just about right. If the client says yes to your price right away, then it means that you could've asked for more. There are many other ways to up your rate if they say yes right away, but thats another story.
Hope that helps..
any more inquires email me directly.
