This is on my 'todo' list, cause I often have feast/famine cycles. I figure charge cheap for maybe 10 clients till you get good reviews, then bump it up to $70-80/hour. Seems there's lots of devs doing that, and getting clients. But, you need to have a good reputation.

I currently avg $40 for laravel development (Utah) - 8 years experience.

I'd like to be worth more, but I'm not great at selling myself... a decade ago I was making $10 an hour, in SEO / marketing, or $15 delivering pizzas - even though I built websites as a hobby since 1998.

Point being, I always saw myself as low-income, so $40 is like woah..I've arrived! Even though, with bills it really doesn't go that far, and I'd like to double it (maybe by launching a SaaS, if I can't raise my rates organically).
