[quote]I had learned to start out by not charging much, just so you get the basis of things, then once you feel like your work is "good" enough or has a good enough reputation, you can then start raising the price.[/quote]
I've learned that it's better to start high than low. Your prices are part of the audience you are marketing to. If you market by doing freebies, you get customers who want freebies, not paid commissions. If you market with low prices, you get customers who want low prices, and not the people who pay higher prices. If you market with high prices, then sure, your customer base may be smaller, but the people who look at your stuff will be people willing to pay higher prices.
I've also learned to treat minimum wage as a baseline. Minimum wage is a starting point for even people who haven't developed any skills to use in their jobs, and art is a skill usually honed over years of experience. So I think that's important to keep in mind as well.

Thank you! I'll put your banner in my affiliates tab.
Also thank you for telling me. I never really thought about it that way. It's honestly hard to price myself because I am my harshest critic when it comes to my work. so really, you've helped a lot.
