You definitely need to start charging Rawks.   If you're going to build a reputation you need to make sure people know that you know you've got a value - they should respect you for that and take you seriously as a business.   

No idea what the going rate would be, but as a starting point, work out how long you think it would take to make... and what hourly rate you'd expect to be earning and start there?

Yup, I agree with Kaffers

Find alocal company that does it and phone them up to findout their charges, then go from there ...

Good luck xx

I'm also assuming it's just your time that's involved? If you're incurring any expenses you need to charge them too.

A minute!!!  Hmmm 

I've found this, but it seems to be for more established production companies. I was thinking of one set price for the mean time.

I would start out with a set price. Then see what charges you incur and then go on from there 

Maybe ask them what their budget is, as a roundabout way of asking for some moolah?

Kaffy is right, ppl will respect you if you put some value on yourself. Fair enough you're just at the beginning, but try and work out what you'd be getting an hr in the workplace and go from there.

It's great to hear that you're getting closer to your aim.

Hibu (Yell) has these charges for making promotional videos:

Have you considered browsing a site like this?

I would try the forums, ask questions see what advice and guidance you can get, there may even be more specific sites suited to your area of interest.

I have no idea (what you mean) !!!

What you should do is play hard ball and say,

"Your request now forms part of a verbal contract and trying to back out of it shall incur grave consequences cos I knows people, oh yeah.

I could send some of my boys round - fit ya with a pair of concrete galoshes ya old curmudgeon.

Or we can find easy street - ya get me?"  

Then you spit on the floor, wipe your nose on the back of your hand, lean nonchalantly on a table and ask if they serve a straight bourbon.

Simple

I've also had "business savvy" in the past but doctors gave me some cream

It helped
