I do a lot of work for other sole proprietors and people just getting going with personal art projects(musicians, photographers, graphic artist, etc...)
My problem is that i really want to do the work and help the cause of another creative that is in the spot i was in a decade ago, BUT i dont want to ask for so much compensation that they feel that they cant afford to get a site up and running without going wtih WIX or some shitty godaddy site builder on their own.
Anyone have a good grasp on how to charge for the self funded arts project we all know are out there and need our experience to get their projects out there to the masses?

An exchange might work.....

The amount of money these types is unlikely ever to change much beyond ‘as little as possible’, so I'd consider shaping your proposition to better fit their budget.
Consider investing some time in a couple of your own standard boilerplate designs, which you can easily and compellingly amend to suit each client.

hektor.. i exchange so much that my rent is the only thing i worry about. My coffee fund is full from working for cafe's, my food is taken care of from doing sites/design/social engineering for bar&grilles.
I love the barter and trade economy for most of my jobs but my plate is mainly full of artist that need work done. I hate to ask for money from them b/c their work edifies my creative soul and makes my small business/corporate work all the better.
Detritus your totally right. its always "well how cheap can we do this for...." and my answer is always a tough one to reply. I love this kind of work and would love to have a bank roll to live off so that i could help these types out more. but the real world's a bitch :)

It may help if you don't spell "sites" as "site's"...
