Good article as well as some good advice here.

I had been billing at $75/hourly and feeling burned out and that it's just easier to do a day job. Clients would always ask for my rates and then get back to me. Then a new client, who had seen some of my work, contacted me to see if I was available. I was just wrapping up another gig that week, so I said I was available immediately. He then says, "Do you think you could work for $100/hour"?

So he seemed to think he got off cheap and meanwhile I'm left thinking I'm definitely not charging enough.
