Thats poverty level wages dude. And it is a lot harder to raise your prices later if you establish such a low base.

I get around $50 an hour for programming at my day job, they bill me out at $100 for programming, $150 for system design and higher than that for database design.

When I do quotes I show the price computed at $50 an hour or higher. A client can always work with me and we can arrive at a lower price, but that way they know what kind of discount they are getting and it allows me to not lower the price when I don't want to do the project.

Bottom line is it keeps my base at $50 an hour.

And like I say it is a lot easier to lower your price for an individual project if yur base is established then it is to raise your price overall from a base to is way too low.

Hi!

Thanks for your reply.

My experience as a webmaster is that the prices for programming services are aprox. $10 per hour.

Programmers from russia deliver super fast and optimum results for just $10 per hour.

Since we value the knowledge obtained with (adult webmaster) projects aswell we provide programming services at the highest level of advance and speed for just $100 per 19 hour day or $10 per hour.

Best Regards,
Adult SEO

No offense, but in my long experience (almost two decades as a programmer) online and offline, anyone claiming that $10/hr is the "standard" or "accepted" rate for programming, frankly just doesn't have much experience. Best of luck to you none the less.

When I first put myself out for freelance programming, I was doing it strictly part time and I put myself out there at $10.00 an hour...

I usually managed to get 50 hours in every two weeks so the $1000 a month EXTRA income helped a lot.











Of course, that was back in 1982

You've received some great advice in this thread, Adult SEO, and I hope you seriously considered it. I wanted to highlight this comment of sarettah's, because it is very true. You can *always* lower your base price for a particular job. It's very, very difficult to raise it. If you give someone a quote and they balk...negotiate. But always negotiate from a position of strength. Don't think of yourself as competing with cheaper programmers. Think of the position you want to be in: competing with known, successful programmers who charge more per hour because the companies they work for know that they're worth it.

Good luck to you.
