how much would you charge to change a phone number on a simple HTML website?
it's so easy, it's not worth charging. on the other hand, learning wasn't free. but $5 isn't worth making an invoice. $50 seems unfair for 30 seconds work.
oh god. what do i do?

If it's an existing client, do it for free, but remind them of the fact.
If it's not, tell them to foff.

I bill by the quarter hour, rounding up.
So even 30 second updates are billed like 15 minutes of work at my hourly rate.
That said, if something was a mistake on my part I definitely don't charge. I also don't send out invoices until my clients rack up at least an hour so a lot of times these changes go unbilled.
