How NOT to do it....




When I was beginning, I made up a list of prices (and foolishly published them). Later, I found that I had to expand the list of sizes.

This was really tough, because the whole darn system didn't make a lot of sense.

Then I got the bright idea to charge by the square inch (more or less).

Unfortunately, I had to change a few prices on my original list. I couldn't go down in price (imagine the anger of those who had already paid the high fee), so I had to go up on some and was afraid that I'd price myself out of the market.

Now I'm OK with the prices, but it was dicey for a while there. My advice: figure out a fee system that will cover all of the sizes that you haven't even dreamed of painting yet...
