$250 for a myspace page Options

wow... well i just met this new person on myspace and we were discussing myspace layouts... and he said that someone paid $250 for a layout. The layout I have posted below. It seriously blew my mind. I've never heard of anyone even charge anymore than $10. Have you came across anyone who paid a ridiculous amount of money for a myspace page? I figured with that amount of money, they could have a full flash websites made and hosted.

$250 layout

Bandspaces charges a fee of 500$ for a decent music page. I think thats too high of a price for just a webpage.

i dunno. when you think about the big picture... their website is a marketting tool. They market themselves with it. Meaning it needs to be good enough to market them with. Meaning if it IS good enough, they would gain sales from it. Meaning if you charged them 10 bucks for the layout, you'd feel pretty ripped off in two years when they're making BANK and you only got 10 bucks out of them while they're STILL making money off the layout you made them.


someone from eminem's Shady Records contacted me to do a myspace layout for one of their new/upcoming artists on the label, but they said they wouldnt pay me for it and all i would get is a tiny ass by-line in the corner of the page. I think they thought i was some geeky myspace kid, and didnt realize i was a professional. I turned them down. I figure Shady Records is friggin huge. They can afford to pay me SOMETHING for a damned layout. I just dont work for free anymore. A girl's gotta live, yknow?

My friend is paying me $250 just to do a COMP (mockup, if you prefer that term instead) for one of his clients. (he's agreed to give him two comps but he only has the motivation to make one.) Since he's going to be doing all the buildout/coding, I agreed to just take $250 for the comp.


Also, bigger companies/clients will WANT to pay a minimum of like $400 for a website because they'll be able to count on the quality of the work, plus they have to have a certain standard, and self-respect for themselves. If they're bigger, they're sort of expected to pay a lot for a website. Otherwise, people will just think they're cheap and cant afford one, and their customers/audience wont have much faith in their products/service.
