    You've got to think about all the time you spend on the thing, from the very start, to the time you get paid. Not just the time you're actually making the thing. Otherwise you're screwing yourself out of time you could be getting paid by someone else.

    Because, by the time you exchange a few emails with the client, or phone calls, maybe do a correction or two, and do up the invoice, maybe a reminder invoice, you've spent several hours. Even for the tiniest thing. So, I agree with uuuuuu, at least $250 minimum.

    And if you have to drive to a meeting with them, you've got to add in the driving time. Plus mileage. Plus the meeting time.

    When it's all said and done, tiny things can chew up a bunch of your schedule.

    • mileage can be written off tax time. 55.5 cents in the states.rodzilla

    • Yeah, you can write off the mileage. But it's better to get paid for it. And the time driving.boobs
