How much should I charge these local businesses for making a commercial for them. I know that I should charge them for the air time on the T.V. stations and the rental equipment and what not. But should I charge them for my time also so that I get something out of it too? I mean credentials at this point (since I'm just getting into it) would be great and payment enough because I kinda get my foot into the door a little bit. But should I take payment, and if so, how much?
