There are MANY tales of people who were trying to work LESS who doubled their rates only to get more work - then raised them again, only to keep getting even more work.

Undercutting is a loosing proposition for everyone involved - even the clients (although most probably wouldn't know it.) Think careful and choose a rate that will allow you to do great work, keep upgrading and grow. That's not a bargain basement rate.

Set it too low, and you'll have a very difficult time ever digging yourself out of the basement.
