    Check out what the others charge, and undercut them by 25%.

    If you can prove to me that you could help get my website/forum orderofmen.com really going, I'd be willing to be the first in line and pay for your service. Wouldn't mind being a sort of guinea pig.

    $0. Once you have got some solid proof of the effectiveness of your work, add a price tag. Perhaps ask for donations at the end for those you aren't charging.

    Evaluate through how much time it will take to finish that whole project and charge on hourly basis, for example it is going to take 32 hours multiply it with $10-$12/hour. :)

    That's probably what I'd do in your situation. You'll have to sit down and work out how long each project will take, and then attach a price tag based on how much you think you're worth. :)

    I disagree with under cutting. Price high and justify. Throw in something that's not on the menu that you either have lying around or that takes zero time to produce but gives value to the customer. Start busting out with bulk or spin some other freebies as needed.

    Its the same if you make a mistake on an order you don't give them money back (last resort) you make it right with more services.

    I also disagree with hourly but if you are going to do it some of my prices for example are $80 an hour so if it takes me 15 minutes its 20 or 30 bucks depending.

    Most people don't bankroll their own marketing so always step up to help them spend other peoples money.

    If you do good work they will keep coming back and if they send referrals thats when you start giving the deep discounts.

    Be bold. Ask for money.

    Advertisers are ALWAYS looking for a deal. If you can give it to them, along with a reasonable amount of hits, they are easier to sign on, and they'll stick with you longer.

    But, hell, test 'em both and see.

    Can't beat testing.

    UGH!

    Others gave you what you need to know right in your thread. That's all there is to it.

    You think there is some sort of magic bullet out there?

    But spend your money.

    Buddy, all I'm asking for is to see if anyone can guide me to someone that would do something similar as the topic poster. All you guys on my topic did was tell me what to do, I can see that, but am still looking for direct links to a person's service that is recommended.

    No need to get upset over nothing

    Maybe get the service running first, then worry about charging something.. sounds like you have nothing yet.

    Um, nobody is upset, Mike. You just don't listen. Just like most of the posters here.

    Anyway, this is a1omad's thread. Give him advice in HIS thread, and maybe he can do the same in YOURS. :)

    No biggie, right?

    Good luck with your site.

    I sent you the last pm about the information for your service. I'm sure I'll be able to let everyone here know how great your service is within the next week or so.
