The market itself can easily start presenting horribly cheap clients. I've been there. It really just comes down to being able to ride it out while you invest time in trying to land good clients rather than just any client. Wish I could offer some solid solutions, but I don't really have any other than to trust if things were good before, they'll get good again. | |
| Aug 18, 2016 at 15:07 | comment | added | crazycatlady | Thanks for your answer Scott, lots of really good points here. A lot I can't answer in public forum, however I am experienced in my field, come from a Design Management background where I was regularly working with freelancers (so know the whole spectrum of rates in my area) and am sure that my rates are not extortionate, and in fact are often fairly reasonable. I've been told by my peers in fact, that I should be charging more. The sort of rates these potential clients are looking for would equate to approx £5 per hour, which is way too low! | |
