Instant Mix Instant MixTitle commitment issues
Got roped into being the sound operator for an amdram show about 3 days before the dress run, I'm only doing it to save face for the society putting the show on but sorta regretting having to do a mediocre job for the next week and getting paid a sweet, phat sum of Â£0

At what point does one consider themself good enough at a certain thing to start charging a decent amount of money without being overbearing? I've exactly this same issue when doing posters / graphic for folk, as well as DJing. I know enough to gauge that I'm absolutely not the best at a certain field, so continuously undersell myself because I'm completely unaware of the limit of my abilities and what I'm actually worth / valued at

It depends on if you want to do it as your main source of income or not.

With my band we can get anywhere from $200 - $500 per show but honestly we'll take just about anything so long as we can play somewhere.

That being said though, all the members have stable well paying jobs so music is just fun and the money we do get just gets re-invested into the band for equipment / gas money / studio time.

Start charging when it becomes an inconvenience to you.
