What works for me may not work for you. I like pricing by "time and

making way less than minimum wage. Ask some friends or coworkers what
they would pay and you'll probably be closer to the ball park.

I think a lot of the people I've seen who are making less than minimum
wage *think* they're using the time and materials formula, but forget to
add in the time they spend preparing, marketing, and actually selling
their finished work. For every hour I spend on the torch, I spend three
more doing work that is related to getting my product prepped, sold and
shipped. Not considering that time when you're creating your pricing
matrix is a dangerous trap that can sink a new business before it even
leaves shore, so to speak.
