Default How much?

Hi,
I'm having a 'how much do I expect to be paid problem'. I've been offered some work making performace music promos for bands, for a small record label. I wil be filming (with my own equipment, I think) editing and theres also the travel to the gigs involved but expenses are coverd. The gigs will be one per weekend. The thing is they have asked me to have a think about what sort of pay I would expect to receive and I'm not sure....any ideas?

Thanks.

I would start with working out how long each job will take, totally up the hours and multiply it by your hourly rate of preference.

Just don't sell yourself cheap either nope or later. If you start cheap to get the work then they will complain later when the price goes up.
