While I don't design I did have a similar situation with a writing job once.
A guy contacts me and asks for a price on blog posts. So I ask a few questions and he tells me basically he wants me to look at picture or two and come up with a 200 word post for it. So I tell him my price ($2.50 per post). He says, "Great. I want 120 per month. I have 4 sites I want to update once a day."
No problem. We come up with a schedule and he emails me over the directions. He told me he would send pictures (or links to them), I would write posts and send them back. He then asks if I can write them in wordpress for him. No problem I say. When the directions come he now wants me to go into a site, pick out two pictures from an update (one hardcore and one softcore), crop them and use PhotoShop to touch them up then log into wordpress, write the post, insert the pictures and use a link code he supplies to link the pictures and selected text then set the time stamp feature for the correct day so it will auto update.
Basically, he wants me to run his blog for him at $2.50 a post. When I tell him I can't do it for that price he gets pissed. I explain I thought I was going to look at a couple of pictures, write a post and send it to him or write it in wordpress and save it. All this other stuff now takes me 20 minutes to do. At this rate I would make more making Burrito Supremes at Taco Bell.
