I don't know what's typical but the best way to see if you're charging too little is to put in some bids for $60, then $65, and so on and see what happens. I have worked for a guy that was able to increase his prices nearly 25% (for new customers at least, he understandably didn't want to raise rates for the longtime customers who got him started) just by slowly raising his bids until he found what enough people would pay. Disclaimer: This was for a construction company that got new customers by word-of-mouth YMMV |

I vividly remember the day that I woke up and decided that from now on, I would charge $175/hr instead of $125/hr. Bookings actually increased.
Just keep raising your rates until
(a) You can't get any more gigs, or
(b) You feel too guilty to raise them anymore.
