Working for friends or family

I’m a sucker for taking on work for friends and family. Usually I do this work for free as I feel it is almost expected of me. This undoubtedly affects my ability to make money online. Late, last night a friend of my wife called me to do a project for her. Being the fool I am I got right onto it without even talking about a price. Would it be wrong if I call her up and talk about a contract for the work?

I have done countless projects for free and many of these projects have gone on to become massive successess, but not a penny has come my way. It does make me feel bad, I know it was my fault for not setting up a formal arrangment, but I also feel that I should be offered compensation.

Today is the day that I put my foot down. If someone wants me to do work for them, I will charge. Except for direct family. I don’t feel this is unreasonable, as I waste my own time and resources to make these projects work. I should be compensated for all of this.
