How much do you this this is worth: making WP website, using generic theme, designing logo and visit card, making FB and YT accounts, simple SEO, and training the client?
 
making WP website using generic theme: 150 USD

designing logo: 60 USD (high quality)
visit card: 20 USD
making FB and YT accounts: 1 USD per account
simple SEO: price depends on what actually is needed to be done
training the client: training what? SEO? Designing? 50 USD per hour

Min 800$?! What country do you live in?

The U.S. most likely. Here in the UK I'd charge a similar price. That's at least 15 hours of work if done properly.

Funny you should ask this! Only last week I set up my dentist's nameservers, clicked on Fantastico, uploaded a theme & set up her domain email with Thunderbird and charged her $400!

If I can pick up a couple of these clients per month I'll be happy, but as I'm not actively seeking them...
 
and where do you guys find the clients?
I would be interested to open a website that offer services myself.
 
Offer Some SEO stuff too like on page

Then Flat 300 - 700$
 
The correct answer is whatever someone is willing to pay. More specifically its really just how much you can confidently charge while keeping a straight face. I sold a theme once for $900. All I did was buy the theme ($50), install wordpress and then upload and activate the theme. I probably could have got more.
 
This is kind of a backwards question because it depends HEAVILY on your experience. Living within the United States, I constantly do freelance work on the side of my main job. In order to create a fully custom Wordpress Site (including installation of design and wordpress on the server), setup social network accounts, light SEO and basic training) I would say if you only have a few years experience than charge around $600 - $700. However, if you have more experience you can easily get $1,000 + from the client once you explain how important SEO is (which can make up a bulk of your price), label it as " Online Marketing "

My professional experience in this comes from working as a software engineer at a design agency for the past 4 years.. it was a very rewarding experience.. If you have any other questions, just let me know.

experience has nothing to do with the price you charge ppl.. if you lack experience in something then outsource it to someone with the experience and charge whatever they are willing to pay
 
It is always easier to lower prices than it is to raise them.
 
you should charge the amount of hrs spent working on your work x what you are worth an hr to yourselves.
 
$800 to $1k sounds reasonable. It doesn't matter how hard it is, it matters what effort would the client need to make in order to do it himself. It's like potatoes, growing them myself would be a lot cheaper but I still prefer to buy them as I can earn a lot more in the same time span.
 
a g is reasonable, some companies in my town charge upward of 4gs for simple wp sites
 
Iv made simple WP sites for $75. With on site SEO & certain valuable plugins, around $200.
