I think the point where you should start charging is when you being featured on someones song generates attention from fans because of your affiliation with the project...or If you have a special skill that undeniably adds to the quality of the song...such as the ability to write/sing a great hook, ghostwriting, interesting adlibs, etc.

Simply put, when there is a demand for Name and people start asking you how much do you charge? lol...
I think it’s so funny how most bay area rappers that have a little buzz and have sold 5-10k units try to charge an arm and a leg.
Paying for a feature is an investment, meaning you should receive a return on your investment (more units sold because of the feat.) if that’s not the case you’re wasting your time and money.
