How much should I charge?

A woman asked me if I was willing to type up an excel spreadsheet of contact numbers for her, as she is not as computer-literate as she would like to be. She said she'd pay me by the hour for my work, whatever I thought was fair. I'm happy to do this for her, and would finish it relatively quickly, since I am a fast typer...however...

How much should I charge? What seems fair, in your opinion?

Thanks!

Yeah if it's just contact numbers and such, I don't see it taking more than an hour! Maybe I should consider charging by the page?

Oh and this is just a side gig, most likely a one-time thing.. the lady asked me out of the blue.

Is it really going to take hours for you to type a spreadsheet of contacts? It depends on how many hours you think it would take. If it will take anywhere from 1-4 hrs I would say $15-20/hr.

Depending on how many words you type $10 -$20 per hour.

$10 per page.

Ask for $50 per hour, one hour minimum.
