i'm about to start my first freelance work with blenderbox.com doing flash and a lot of server side programming for 6 weeks. they need a daily and weekly rate. how much do i charge?

please help me out with this guys. i need the brilliant and wise advice from the newstodayers.

your hourly rate x8=daily charge, daily rate x5=weekly rate.

what if i don't really have an hourly? i usually charge per project. i was thinking about $25 an hour. is that crazy? more or less?

I dont know the going rate in your area or your experience. But that sounds hella cheap to me.

i'm fairly experienced, but not great with the server side stuff. that would be more of a learning experience, and i live in NYC.

$35 an hour min

$30-45
shoot 40 at them. if they want to barter you have $10 to play with.

Don't go $25 - It's hard to bump your rate up after you've set precident working with someone.$35 - $ 40 sounds OK for 6 weeks work.

Alright, i'm going with the $35. Thanks for the help. It, as always, has been much appreciated.
