yeah i'm thinkin' about peddling myself to other local church's and dooin' more of it...the clients are all super nice, and will pay fair....which brings something up, i spent roughly 8 hours dooin' this last gig over the course of 3 weeks. a friend said i should charge more....thing is all i did was re-wire a few things, tweak the board, main house eq's, and monitor eq....that and got 'em a 4 channel compressor set up for most of the vocal mics...other than that i just kinda sat and listened...didn't really feel like work (cept for the whole gettin' up early part)....so yeah what would you consider "fair" pay for a gig like that? i have no idea what the going rate is for this kinda stuff, but i have another potential client at the local arts center that needs help.

I dunno, it's all about what your time is worth to you.

That said, churches will rarely pay anything, honestly I am surprised you got that gig, as churches rely mostly on volunteer work from their congregations, and often, if you scan a congregation you will find a very broad cross section of skills and talents...so they often don't have to pay cuz somebody will volunteer. I surely wouldn't consider trying to build a business model around working with churches. While all will pay if they have to, they don't often have to.

yeah that makes alotta sense to me. hmm yeah they cut me a check for a hundred (what i told them i'd do it for off the top of my head) and i got one of their old rack cases (aarmidillo) it's pretty beat up but it's on castors! which beats my setup the way it is now...so i thought that was pretty fair, and i've never done anything like that before.
