It depends. Would you expect a relative to fix your car for free if they were mechanics? In that case, no.

Exactly what @LastDigitOfPi said, if it is done more or less quickly you should do it for free. But if you really have to put in some work onto it you should definitly ask for payment.

I mean, I do quick photoshop and program/shell script jobs for a friend sometimes and he pays me using PAYDAY 2 weapon skins
His requests are lowest-priority, so I only do them when I have absolutely nothing to do. -
Yes! Even if it's something small, you set a bad precedent when you don't charge something for it. Maybe it's just a case of beer for the easy shit and actual cash for the major stuff, but you need to make sure there is some sort of "payment" happening.
