How Much Should I Charge?

[Josh Harmsen]

So I’m a Graphic Designer who’s only ever done free work. After watching a podcast on how to build a client list, I decided to try it out. I tried his tactics out by hitting up my community Facebook Page, posting on its wall talking about my services and such and not even an hour after posting it, I received a message from a lady who lives by me, asking for me to design an advertisement. She said that this advertisement is going to be placed in a community magazine a couple miles from my communit and will be reached out to 96 families. The only problem is that I don’t know how much to ask for money wise. If you take the cost amount for her product ($4,995) and multiply it by the potential amount she can make off this advertisement ($479,520). How much should I ask for?


Edit 11/7/17 - ì finished the ad and got paid $150 for both ads. It wasn’t much but it is my first ever client and she said she liked it so much that she wants me to be her personal designer which is great!
