Since you are not in the business, it might be better to ask them what 
they want to pay for your time.

If you like the answer, take it.

Note that there are tax implications, you have to pay taxes based on the 
income being above your current income. You should also look at your 
current contract, you may have agreed not to work for anyone else.
