I’m in Ireland and it’s not easy here to get a decent price for work, but I agree it is too cheap. Paul Bradford always speaks so well on this topic, basically you have to value yourself, when you include for ingredients, utilities, sundries, labour and profit you then have the correct price you should be charging. After that you may need to include extra for the quality of your skill compared to others. If your work is better charge for it. He always maintains not everybody is a customer of yours, if they don’t value your work then they are not the clients for you. Stand by your prices, increase them if you are not cover all of the above, there is always people who will get the value of your work and they are the clients you are aiming for. She says all this as if she practices what she preaches, think we all under value ourselves in this profession.
