I know, I know... - trust me - with the last company I worked for we would use $2000 in wages for the first meeting just to
discuss a project.. even now without the overheads of a large company it would be AU$1500-AU$2000 for the job
minimum.. but the adult world is a out of step price wise - you can't pay more than a few grand for a whole paysite design even if you wanted to so clients aren't accustomed to normal mainstream prices, and mainstream guys don't inhabit forums where there is someone from yugoslavia willing to do it for $5 posting next to the guy down the block that needs $500 to break even.
I do still charge too cheaply.. I guess it's because I don't have a lot of name recognition - I don't participate in those "every designer leave your contacts and line up for this job" threads.. don't spam.. I've been here well over a year - if it wasn't for my sig most people wouldn't have a clue I design and flash as well as the rest of it... I get a fair amount of work from clients referring other clients to me..
