Great to hear you are happy, but I do think you're being exploited. I'm pretty sure you can flip burgers for £12.

I hope this motivates you to ask for more.

I'm a little hesitant to ask for more, because I'm really not in a position right now (for a couple of months, anyway) to be able to afford losing that extra income...

I sympathize with that, but what you should also consider is that by greatly undercharging the market rate, you're actually depressing wages for other in your peer group.

and you'll just keep getting more low-end work. The next client you get, double your rate, don't even bat an eye when you quote it, and you'll be surprised when people say yes.

Thanks for the advice guys.
