#23Earlier quoted context omitted.
Who says he's spending two hours or less? Normally, you'd spend hours on a portfolio for free. Now he's making a small amount.
Who says he's spending two hours or less? If he spends 1-2 hours on a design, that's $7.50-$15 per hour. Any longer and he wouldn't be making enough to be worth his time, even in the Philippines or India. For a true portfolio, you'd want better designs than 1-2 hour quickies

#28Also, charge $30.
If the sample designs are actually somewhat good, $30 is worth the gamble, maybe $40-50. I'd probably pay $30. But I'd need to see at least 2-3 references/samples/templates.
