Also, never agree to an hourly rate. You have to work way too long to make any money.<br><b>References : </b><br>I'm a freelance writer. http://www.senobiatorres.com I agree with Jude.

You are marketing yourself, you want to imply that you are worth hiring, business people associate worth with money, so you want to be about average here. If you go too high, you look like you're greedy, too low, you look like you're inexperienced. You say you are inexperienced, and that is fine, that doesn't mean, though, that you will do a bad job, you still need to represent yourself as something worth having, so don't go too low. Guy who spoke before is pretty right. Query design shops in your area, get a feel for that price, go a little under it. This says you are worth something, but you are not trying to take advantage. Essentially, a great deal :) Plus, as you pointed out, you are doing work, and it should be worth your time. On the other hand, if the shop owner is a communist, throw out everything I said ^^<br><b>References : </b><br> Don’t do it free, people associate free with cheap (I still love Stallman, though).

Just canvass 2 or 3 printing shop according to their standard price. Then make a conclusion out of their price.<br><b>References : </b><br>http://seophils.blogspot.com/2009/04/background-search-tool.html http://legalsearchinfo.com/ http://www.ispysomeone.com/ http://findcriminalreports.com/ Actually the best way to do is do a canvassing by the some printing shop.

If you still want to make some money out of it, a rate of $ 10 per hour of your working on that would be OK.<br><b>References : </b><br> If you want to get hired as a permanent employee, do it well and do it free.
