Charging by the hour caps your income at the number of hours you can physically work. The amount of money they're paying for your service is minimal compared to the amount of money their business will make from it.

Yes, which is why I bill the hourly rate I do and the customer is happy to pay it.

I realize that some people bill by spec, but I personally don't like the overhead that gives to me and I'm quite happy with what billing by the hour brings in.
