Entrepreneur Tips and For those wondering what to charge... here's some advice
Sometimes the suggestions ("I think I'll keep prices low"), aren't the best.
While it's obviously not a "free for all", it has been mentioned that charging higher can be a better thing for you... and here's proof:
I just read an article in a daily deal news site and I thought the points were excellent for Entrepreneurs (It's a 10 winning tips thing), but this caught my eye:
"With my first pitch to a major client, I was scared of rejection and only asked for a small relationship which we could grow from that point. They declined the offer and I heard from back channels that the leadership thought that I was too 'small time.'"The article is here: dailydealmedia.com/10-winning-tips-for-entrepreneurs78/ (Obviously its not an affiliate link, just some good information).
So don't necessarily go too low. Look at some various competitors, and try to stick with an average - OR go a bit higher (as long as you can do the quality work of course).
I got fed up of dealing with "too little money but too much handholding" - so I raised my prices. By 5 times (depending on what it was for of course), and it does make a difference. Clients respect your knowledge, it shows you DO know what you're doing.
Anyway, HTH.
