If your work is worth industry standard then CHARGE IT, stop raping yourself and every other designer with you. A good designer should be getting $20 to $40 per hour for basic work and $50 to $100 per hour for scripting and high-end graphics work. You are professionals, it's time you started running your businesses as such... and that means charging enough for what you are worth, and making sure at least partial payment is secured before starting any work for all but the most trusted clients.

I have certainly learnt the hard way.. BUT good has come out of it.. I learnt and have movedon.. changed the eway I do things.. paid for a merchant acility to make my life easier and it has paid off... I raised my prices to get what I believe my work is worth...
HOWEVER, the coalition is a good idea in my view.
