Someone has asked me to develope and maintain an online community for their customers. This would include chat and forum and maybe some other things. There is a potential here for several thousand users and my job would be not only to implement it but moderate and keep on top of upgrades.

I have no idea what to charge for this. I was thinking $500/mo at first but then I started thinking that if it gets very active this could end up being very time consuming and $500/mo might not be enough. Any advice? Maybe $500/mo plus a % of ad revenue?

I'm not too sure what the "going rate" for something like this would be, but my suggestion would be to stipulate x/mo for y/hours work (potentially with % of ad revenue if you want a performance related bonus type of concept).

In this case, I suggest you make a short time agreement. You could possible make table rates based on number of subscribers.
