Another article that has been going around (and linked at the Lifehack story) Earn More Money by Demanding It. The article, written by Andrea Dickson, is especially pertinent to women, but you all can learn something from it.
I finally have decided on my hourly rate after trying a few and although my rate is a bit high for the smaller town that I'm in, I've found people are willing to pay it. I've found that underselling myself leads to problems. Clients expect you to work at that rate forever. The client not only gets my skills and experience, but also my guarantee. The project will be done on time and it will meet or exceed their standards. Well, that's the plan anyway.
