Personally I started on Elance and while there are people charging ridiculous low amounts I just priced what I felt I could do it for at a fair rate that was still competitive but enough for me to find it still worthwhile. Sure I did not get a lot of jobs, but I did get a few and those were enough to get onto the ladder. From those jobs I built up a network of clients which have slowly expanded due to things like word of mouth and recommendations. I got my first few jobs with no portfolio(heck I still don't have a public one) or degree. My advice to you would be just dive in, price what will make it worth doing to you and then once you have some experience in the field and network of clients you can raise your prices.
