how much would you pay?

Published May. 20, 2008

To have your photos scanned, retouched, and edited and then put on a disk or DVD?

 I am currently doing this for a lady, and I have no idea how much to charge her! I am not really worried about it this time, but I am trying to come up with a set price list of how much I want to charge. This is something I enjoy doing, and its very time consuming and people either don't have the know-how or equipment or time to do it themselves, so I would like to be a extra money maker for me, know what I mean?

 

I am like 50 cent per photo with simple edits, 75 cents if I have to edit them more.  Ten bucks for a CD, 5 bucks each extra CD. Is this reasonable?

great service.

People really want this service. If they don't know how to do it, it's very valuable. I think the $250.00 per disc is fair.

To add... I don't know that I would charge for each picture and then charge $10 extra for the first cd and then $5 for each extra. CD's are dirt cheap.. less than .02 a piece. I can see charging a small fee to cover the discs.

I would think that you would figure your cost either by the cd or by the picture (of course the customer's attitude can play a part in that price too).

For sort of a comparison, I called around looking for someone to convert albums to mp3's and burn them to disc. He charged by the cd. His cost was $10 for 1 cd, for 3 or more it was $7 per cd. Figuring you can usually get 2 albums to a disc, that was a great deal. I do know the work that goes into doing that and I would not do it for that price.

I know in web design, the price is set per page. Then it depends on what is put on the page as to what the individual page charge is. So a more detailed page with lots of scripts and coding would cost more than a page with just a lot of text and a few photos.

I was just going to say, call around in your area and see what others are getting for the same service and check online also. It is always good to know what your competition is charging.

It's really not that hard at all. Surprises me that people have to have someone else do this for them. Check out www.cafemom.com. We do edits all the time and have several editing groups and professionals edit there. They may can help you on pricing. Good luck!

Geez, I do this stuff all the time. Maybe I should look into doing it for other people and charging, if there's that much money in it!

I think I paid $150 for 200 pics and I checked around, that was a great price compared to what others were charging, and this was about 6 years ago.

Hubby does this stuff, he's busy watching Hell's Kitchen and talking to me in the den. He says around $250.00 is very fair. He's going on, and on about how it's harder than what people think. He also suggests you scout around on the web and check out other people's prices. Good Luck.

$30 an hour

It sounds reasonable to me.
