How much money should i expect for my work?

[emerging]

Hey guys, need some help. I started designing flyers for nightlife events. But i have have no idea how much they usually charge for that. I included the copy of what i did. I also had to pay for the stock image which wasnt much but i want to take that into account. How much should i ask for this if September 16th is a thursday (so not the prime clubbing night) BUT it is at one of the most popular clubs in downtown?

So how much should i expect for those three?

Thanks guys!

hours spent*minimumwage or desired hourly rates + travel/equipment expenses/costs of the models hired/etc costs.

I don't know how long you worked on it.
Calculate how much it would cost with the formula I gave you, present it to them and if they can't afford it, you'll have a standard at which quality of work you can create in how much time. Then next time you have a client, you can show them the jpg and tell them "I can create this in x average amount of time at this price and show them where the money goes."
If they agree, you work out a contract and if they don't, you find new clients.

If you keep getting a no, then either work on getting faster, lower your hourly rates or improve the quality of your product.

Theres two ways to price yourself...

either use a trusted formula like Hyskoa suggested or simply work out how much you feel you deserve personally for work.

most jewellery makers/designers HAVE to use a formula, most artists do because time and materials are a BIG dent in any profit..

BUT sometimes artists are happy working two jobs, a day job and their art job, in that case you have to decide, judging how much effort you put in, what you want back and aim for that
