Does one charge extra for multiple "perfecting" stages ?

In this case if Peter calls Jack after... let's say 6 months, and tells him about his problems, does Jack charge extra ?

It's really case by case, especially for a newer designer. Sometimes it depends how much you like the project, how much you like working with the person, and if you suspect future projects to come of your relationship. Sometimes it depends on scope of the problem and how long it will take to solve.

As you prefect your craft and your business model, you can begin to define what the answer is for you. You can also set up expectations with your clients, so they know what to expect when they want to discuss something (old or new) later down the line.

Good question. It depends on...

  1. How difficult are the tasks?
  2. What other business do they have with you (if any)?
  3. Do you have a certain amount of revisions in your contract that the client can make?

Typically, I would bill unless the task will take a few minutes, the client has a good relationship with you, and/or because of the client is doing other business with you (e.g. running Facebook ads).

NOTE: Revisions are not the same as updates. Revisions would be tweaking a logo rather than redesigning a logo. You should certainly bill for the latter.
