Stop it
by Steve Wargo on Jan 27, 2009 at 5:58:33 am

STOP charging by the finished minute. This was an idiotic practice from many years ago and it makes no sense. Charge by the project using any formula but that one. I guess this means that you charge $400 for a 30 second commercial, right? And $ 72,000 for a 90 minute seminar taping?

So, if you build a 12 minute spot and they ask to cut it down to 3 minutes, that means $ 2,400. And you wonder why you're having problems.

Try charging for your time with a range of dollars that makes sense. We have a piece on our website that is 20 seconds long and cost $ 68,000. They should have hired you for $ 275.
