Sigurd @horsesigurd.bsky.social · 21/04/2025I have had this issue with a few artists I’ve commissioned. If you don’t display your rates or says pending, it’s your work, just tell me what it is. 060
Zerodime @zerodime.bsky.social · 24/03/2025When I ask your rates but you return with "What's your budget" I calculate what I want and make it 50% of that. 050
Flux 🤍🩶💜🖤 @fluxandflow.bsky.social · 24/03/2025Me with contractors. I'm happy to pay what they're worth, but a 50% upcharge because of the town I live in is a bit much. 010
raffaele ienco --comic book artist @raffienco.bsky.social · 24/03/2025My experience back in my advertising illustration days--- I was fed up, "Okay, what's your budget?" They answered-- "6k" F-Yes, I said "Okay, I want all of it." They answered, "Okay. You got it." End of story. 0120
Osaka, we 🐇 @osaka.zone · 24/03/2025A good tactic I've heard is to give a number +150% the going rate, and then say "Talk me down, there are things I care about more than money", so you get your foot in the door to negotiate the contract terms not just the salary. 2230
GM Joe but spooky in some way @gmjoe.bsky.social · 23/03/2025At this point I am not afraid of "overpaying" I just don't want to insult an artist or professional 0100
alamkara @alamkara.bsky.social · 23/03/2025I always just cite my rates. If they can afford them, great. If not, to bad but I'm not lowering them 1160
Adam Hayward @copypasterepeat.bsky.social · 24/03/2025Just tell us the budget! We can usually accommodate it, but if this is just an opportunity to save money, then last time I checked, Fiverr is still active. 90% of the time it's not even their money either. Spend it. Everybody wins. 040
Mr. Nightcraft @nightcraft.bsky.social · 24/03/2025Now see, I don’t get asked rate, I get asked “how much will this cost” when I have very little info about hat it will even be yet. 0110
blackdragonsama.bsky.social @blackdragonsama.bsky.social · 23/03/2025XD so true though, in all honesty... it's the rates, my budget is nonexistent 040
Lions Den Artwork @lionoob.bsky.social · 24/03/2025And then you say a price ever so slightly above their budget and they ghost you even though you clearly stated the rate is flexible 1210

Shana L. Darabie @shanadarabie.bsky.social · 23/03/2025I hate when you give an hourly rate and then are asked how long the job will take. Like, I don’t know how many random last minute changes you’re going to want 0190
The Satch @williamsarris.bsky.social · 23/03/2025The most effective thing I've found is saying "the normal budget for what you're asking could be as high as X." Which keep open the dialogue but also gives them an idea what you're thinking. 090

CynfulArts 🐾 @cynfularts.bsky.social · 23/03/2025I ask what the budget is because I'm afraid of pricing them away. Im newly learning how to be comfortable at asking my worth 🥺 040
Sam @smokedbison.bsky.social · 03/04/2025lol I love artists but if you'll just tell me your hourly rate, I know about how long it's going to take. I've hired a lot of you! Just post your rates, seriously. "I charge $40USD per hour, here is an example of a 10 hour piece. Exact times will always vary, estimates will be offered up front." 010
Rehan Mirza @rnmirza.bsky.social · 24/03/2025I had to nick, and modify this. As an estimator its always... 050

Travis Rivas @rivastravis.bsky.social · 23/03/2025This might be a hot take but IMHO “What’s your budget,” comes off as unprofessional. 1120
Jonah Knight @jonahofthesea.bsky.social · 24/03/2025I had the worst experience with this. I kept asking how much she wanted me to pay her, again and again. She kept changing the subject. So I hired someone else. 050
