Never Undervalue Yourself - ArtBistro.com

Good advice to photographers as well.
Never Undervalue Yourself - ArtBistro.com:

"At this point you’re probably thinking to yourself, if working for free isn’t an option, then how much should I charge? Well, I can’t answer this question for you but I can point you in the right direction. To help you decide, let’s do a little math. How much money did you spend on your computer? How much money did you spend on software? Adobe Creative Suite costs a fortune but what about other software such as Microsoft Office or any third party plug-ins that you own? Do you have a big screen monitor? What about a pen tablet? And let’s not even forget the cost of your education. As I am sure that you know the cost of becoming a designer is enormous and at some point you will have to start making all the money you spent back. Working for free or for cheap will never help you succeed in that."
