Tiny Gigantic Takes on The Money Game

The troublemakers at Language in Common, who are doing a bang-up job as Guest Editors over at Coudal this month, had up a great post from the other day on their site, Tiny Gigantic, which we found by way of Byrdhouse, which deals with a topic we always dread in our freelance lives: “The Problem With Asking for an Estimate.” It’s something we go through all the time, and went through as recently as yesterday, when a friend e-mailed with a potentially fun project and asked, “So what do you think you’d charge for that?” And it’s always the most uncomfortable thing ever, because you’ve done the same sorts of things for a ton of money as many times as you’ve been way too charitable and done it for pennies (if that).
