How would i price for podcasts??
I've been asked to give a price for shooting and editing 6 podcasts at half an hour each. The only thing is I have no idea what the going rate for shooting podcasts is.
I was wondering if anyone could offer any advice on what I should be charging. The details are: I would be using all my own gear...HD100e, apple quad FCP5, dollys, mics etc and finding all the actors (who have to be very good at comedy). Any info would be greatly appreciated. cheers Andy.

I wouldn't think the end use would have any bearing on the price unless of course you also encoding it to the podcast format. then you would have additional time and expenses.
your time is your time, do you have rates? that is what you would charge. At least that is what I would charge. |

I agree. Regardless of the final delivery medium, you still have the same amount of work to do, so charge them whatever you feel is fair.

Many 30 Second spots for national brands cost well over $300,000. Local ad's for small business may only go a few hundred bucks. The important thing is to research the client and their product and figure out the amount they are willing to pay and through negotiations work out a fair price. Quote:
Also, in regards to pricing theory, many start-up's think they have to have the lowest price to get new accounts, but this simply is not true. Remember, in the end, what you are selling is ART (I hope) and there is a high degree of subjectivity between suppliers. Find a unique way of doing things and the price may become less of a concern in a competitive field. Just my $0.02. |

I have come up with a number based on my usual rates which I will submit, in retrospect it was a bit of a dumb question really. Anyway thank you all for the advice Andy.
