If you start at $10/hour it won‘t hurt a company at all if you rise prices, for like, 100%... But who will charge that much and still make a living? Part-time

Part-time freelancer might work, but you need to know your customer and your customer needs to know what you provide him. Otherwise you might to loose customers over „I‘m sorry I‘m only availble Fridays“.
- muzani 6y agoI think it's a fair price for someone who has no reputation, poor availability and little confidence. They can always increase their prices later with experience. Lots of people are also happy to outsource to someone who works slowly and cheaply, as long as the work isn't core. For example, we had a lot of side features that nobody in the company had time to do, or things like converting a hybrid app to native, where a lot of the work was porting screenshots into XML. Cheap, hourly makes sense sometimes, because a newbie might take 2 hours to do one layout while an experienced pro might take 5 minutes. This lets them experiment at their own pace and eliminates risk for a company. It also pays better than say, doing Uber. Ironically charging too high can be detrimental for someone new as they tend to get paralyzed with trying to do too much in a compact amount of time. It might take someone an hour just to get into the flow if they're new at it.
