Ask HN: A Local Media Company Wants to Use My Content, What Should I Charge Them? 17 years ago
That's true lsb, however, the paper's site will be marketing ads directly to those small venues and making $ directly from them, most likely. Ads are the key revenue there.
Also, starnix, you'll def have 2 be careful about overpricing like olefoo mentioned, bcuz if they think they can do it cheaper, they will.
I mistakenly bid too high when asked about something for a newspaper I work with and there was no negotiation... My contact said something about checking on it. Next thing I know, I see 'my' project done by them, albeit not as well and with mistakes, but obviously they didn't pay my price. :(
Next time I'll ask what range they're thinking of first!
