Did you go in quoting them a price or did they give you the money as a 'tip' or at their discretion? I've only had one paid shoot and I went into that shoot as a beginner like yourself and telling them (who are friends of mine) that I was doing this for practice and for no charge. When all was said and done, they tossed me 100 bucks as a tip b/c they loved the way their shots came out. I have an issue with people who are beginners asking others for money when they cannot come out with the sharpest focus possible. Trust me, I'm not pointing only you out, but all the others I see on fb making money off of shots like I described. Bitter put it the best way though, worded it like I wish I could lol.
About the actions...while it does tend to make some images worse (b/c like someone said, it doesn't account for anything off of your image, but the image it was created off of), if done correctly, actions can be very useful. I wouldn't get an action online, then run a batch edit on every image and leave it alone. Any action I run usually involves me fixing some things after it's been run on all my images. Actions are great for static environments where nothing changes though (if created by yourself)
