I personally started low, competing on price and earning 2 dollars an hour, if that, after all fees and all hours that came into building something. This is because at a time I also had to learn a lot. However, I still did my best with each project, communicated nicely and now am working with one client only who supplies me with constant stream of work at hourly rate that none of these job sites ever offer.

The lesson is, do good job, be nice and eventually you will find your way out. As everywhere in life, best opportunities are usually not readily accessible.

Also, I don't hide my age or that I'm a student. I have a proven track record and that's all that matters.

@Zerobrainwash - agreed a proven track record and real results will win every time.
