  • There is no such thing as a “family and friends discount” for me. They either come to me to support me and pay my prices, or they go to someone else to get a better price. I always pay my family and friends a little extra to do work for me if I can afford it, and I never pay less than they would ask a stranger. That’s just the decent thing to do.

    You need to start explaining to people that this is your job, and you have to charge them accordingly. If they have a problem with it, that’s their problem. You don’t owe anyone any favors. Unless you’re doing something special for a special event, your family are just customers that you happen to be related to.

    Also, always discuss price beforehand and get a deposit. Even for family, they’re honestly the most notorious for backing out after your done because they know that you’re not going to go after them if they don’t pay.
