Most people want a logo designed for thirty to fifty dollars. Some people want ebooks created from word documents under a for hundred dollars.

I would expect those prices too if I went through TaskRabbit. I wouldn't expect the designer to be a top professional. I'd be looking for a deal.

My advice (and I've been working freelance for about 7 years) is to brand yourself as a top shelf designer and never offer your services on outsourcing websites. Go hyper niche instead in a category where you have some contacts and can get work fast.

If your designs are amazing, word gets around. Pretty much all new business I get is from word of mouth.
