Figuring out my fee for a friend's podcast art was tricky

I almost did it for free since we're close. Checking what similar artists charge saved our friendship and my wallet.

Figuring out fees for friends can really be tough on a friendship! Checking market rates was a smart move to keep things fair. How did you find out what other artists charge?

Yeah I used to think friends should get a big discount. But seeing what other artists actually charge made me realize I was short changing myself and making things weird.

Actually used to give deep discounts too until seeing real rates online. Made me realize fair pricing actually keeps things less awkward.

Honestly I read a blog post about how clear pricing actually strengthens friendships.
