So I'm at a meeting from a referral of a current client. I meet up with this company's board and we go through the same stuff about their business, getting it on the web and it got to the part where I explain to them about Social Networking and viral adverts and showed them a couple of YT channels I have going for other clients and I showed them my YT channel for Scale Modeling.
After the meeting I'm talking with the big dog boss and apparently, his grandfather flew a P-51 in he war. So we got talking about my little hobby here and he asked me if I could build him a P-51. So I explain to him this and that and he plops down $250 for me to get the stuff to do this and said he'll pay the rest for my time when I'm done.
How the hell do you charge for this? I certainly can't go by the hourly rate I charge for my work, that's a bit much. How do you value the work it takes to build a model for someone?
