I am uber small time compared to you guys, still just a hobby and I have fallen victim to some of the points being brought up, like not charging enough and being only custom work..some really good info and tips going on here.thanks for sharing dudes
Pricing:This category takes me the longest to sort it out, when I first started taking commission I would look at what the clients wants and be like "Ya I can probably do it for like $20" and when I actually start doing it, it take much longer than anticipated and the job is not even worth the $20. Now a days I look at how much I pay for my material and adjust my pricing accordingly, ex: I'm currently paying $10 per yard of coyote brown of fabric, there is about 2100 inches in one yard so if I were to cover the cost of the fabric I will have to charge at least $0.01 per inch for every inches of fabric used. Same thing with other materials.
