Well, Like Mark stated, it hard to say what you should get paid. I live in Washington state close it Olympia and charge $35/hr while in Seattle they get $80-$150/ hr 1 guy in Seattle gets close to $8000 for a wedding. So the location plays a lot in pricing. There are a few rules I go by, (for weddings) don't give a price over the phone get them to come to you, Chances are they are price shopping and you want them to see your work, When giving a est. ask them what they want to spend, then tell them what you offer for that price. Don't have "packages" because they will ask to drop certain things and add others ec... Package deals are just a pain ( for me any way)


Like Mark said drop the youtube thing, Bandwith is pretty cheep right now you should be able to find a deal.
