More often than not: $0. :D I mean they are supposed to pay me in the $200-1600 range, but actually getting clients to fork up money for a completed job is difficult, to the point where I'm ready to give up and get a regular job. I don't generally do jobs for less than $200 though. It takes times to do research, switch environmental and your head around, but clients sometimes think I'm a typist and should only be pai…
Where/how do you find these freelance gigs?

I work in the Detroit area actually. The handful of one hour contract jobs I've done have been pure maintenance coding (i.e. bug fixes on existing applications, reports modifications, etc.)

And then we had a long discussion about how the market sets the rate, not you, and if you hold your rate under market it will overwhelm you because…
This is capitalism 101. Funny thing is, my parents (who are both near-retirement service providers in their own professions) won't adopt such a model in either direction (raising their rates or decreasing their rates based on workload). They also just recently chastised my brother (who is in his mid-20s) for doing an arbitrage play where he could get a plentiful supply of iPad 2's on discount and sell them above mark…
I usually charge $10,000 per gig, 4-6 hour work. If you are good at something charge more, others may do the same for $500, you can either charge 10 customers at $500, or charge $10000, believe me 6 out of the same 10 will pay u $10000.
that's $1600/ hour. Are you kidding me ?
