From my own personal experience, I know this is a tough aspect of being in business for yourself. Calling around, and finding out what others charge is a good way to get an idea for pricing. Another way to look at pricing....calculate your costs, then add your hourly rate (what you would be willing to take as a salary if a company hired you).
Don't sell yourself short. Many people equate low prices with low quality, and will shy away from a price that's are too low. Also, if you price yourself too low, you may find that the "fun" loses it's appeal when you start getting a lot of work, and are not really making anything for all your efforts. There are people who are willing to pay for quality service/products, even if you think the price is steep.
