I agree with Amanda- if you're making very little money per hour, you might as well be scrapping your OWN photos! And I'm slow, most of my LO's take me forever- your talking- uh- I'd be making like 50 cents/hr if I only charged $5 LOL! I have never done a LO in only 2 hours- then again I just started scrapping 2 1/2 months ago. If you can get one done in a half hour you'd make $10/hr. But that's some serious speed scrapping!
You'd be better off submitting your own- with a chance to win $25-$75 if you get published. Even if you don't get published, you still have the satisfaction of finished LO's- your own.
I would say that if you were to create a template- where you could plunk a different photo in for each friend's LO- then you could charge say $10. You might even have some LO's that you've done that you could change the photos on. Otherwise, if you are going to create totally unique LO's, I would charge a MINIMUM of $25.
Also, the way I am, once I start getting paid for something- it's work- and there is some pressure involved with timelines, different opinions, and just plain old creative block- or whatever you call it when you're staring at the monitor wondering what to do next!
I have given one LO away as a gift - for me it's easier that way- not as much pressure.
Sorry to ramble soooo long, but the thought has crossed my mind also
