Thank you for sharing. Now let me shed some light. Do not trade hours for dollars. If you do you will be working so many hours you will never be free. Most people who trade hrs for dollars are broke.
If I were a Freelancer, I will charge more. (100-250hr) . So please raise your price. Next I will figure out ways to increase my value in the market place. (perceived value) Even if my price is higher, its still low because I am in high demand and better artist. You can do this by showcasing your work, using client testimonials, hosting free educational webinars. Another great strategy is to say I charge 200 hr if you are not satisfied its free. If you are satisfied its 200 an hr plus tip.hehe - Then make sure you record and document the project as you are doing it. Maybe a youtube live. Then you can share the process on steemit and make money. Last leverage and outsource. Hope this helps. Please share your work with us.

I entirely agree with you @thecryptoking ! This is the way I had when I started, and even tho' now it would be really waaay lower than I would ask for my work, this way of charging is set for these who are just getting started in this path. But I agree with your way of thinking. See, you must be an experience freelance worker and this is what makes you know all these things and share this information.
As I said I come from Argentina, and there when you get started at something, you are absolutely no one. So you have to earn that position and the respect from your clients. This is why I recommend start small and get bigger and bigger with time. Also I don't think it is too bad to work that much at the beginning. Because this will teach the artist (if it s an artist) in many many ways and make his/her technique get better. So there is something positive as well.
But indeed, after some time and experience it MUST be changed.
Well said @anritco | I have a lot of friends from Argentina in Fort Lauderdale. Keep on rocking!
