Hi there, me and a friend started a mini production company a year or so ago, we wanna work freelance and create videos for clients. We did quite a lot of stuff for free to gain experience, make contacts and build up a portfolio. We've had some paying customers but as were still starting off(and they were just friends lol) we only charged them very small ammounts like £40 for a music video for example.
I've been recommended by a client I did a free promo video for to a friend of his who wants a promo video for his salon that's just opened.
How much should I be looking to charge? I've told him that right now as were just starting off it would cost £50 for a promo video. I know that's peanuts compared to what professional videographers charge, but I'm kinda wary of charging too much at this stage where I'm just trying to build up my contacts and my portfolio. Next time I'd obviously wanna charge more as we gain more contacts and build up a reputation.
Here is the promo video I did for free for the client that recommended me. It's the first promo vid I've done, I just wanted something I can show to potential clients so I did it for free.

Thanks.
I dunno if this is the right forum to post this by the way...
