How do you get paid?

I have difficulty pricing my work. If you have worked out a price for what you charge and for what kind of web design work-I’d love to hear it.

I really love this work and I would and have done it for free. But money coming in is a good thing and keeps my cell phone on so I actually have to charge.

I kind of freeze up when people ask me what my rates are. I don’t want to say a price that might be too high but I don’t want to quote too low and end up doing a ton of work for free because I said it would be that much and I have to stick with that price.

I work around it by asking what they were thinking of spending. This is not a good method but I am not established enoguh to say thiat is my price take it or leave it.Which is what the more hardcore web designers seem to say over and over.They have other customers lined up around the block and can afford to turn people away. Or they just enjoy being arrogant. I do not.
