I handle small jobs the same way I handle large projects. I don’t care how small the project is as long as the client pays my minimum rate. Although I must say that with two of my regulars, I have agreed with a “special” minimum rate

Availability Oct 11, 2025

It's always the same: I'm available or I'm not. No rush fees, no minimum rate, just availability.

Tiny and small Oct 11, 2025

The tiny ones I usually don’t, the small ones (maybe) only for regular/big clients.

For the tiny ones the bank transfer fees are higher than the job’s total.
