Joke Pricing

I am working for one client for last 30 days, 10-12 hours /day for $3000
Then I come to forum and I see
Someone want the same and asking on forums if people know "for free" or "for $5 subscription"

My blood is boiling with anger when I see such things.
I know my post will not change anything, but maybe atleast one seller, programmer, designer, freelancer will answer "go fkc yourself" for such offers.

People, respect yourself. $5? Even in Mcdonalds you have bigger hourly rates.
Your services on The Marketplace, HAF, WTB should be atleast 3x bigger than normal hourly stake in the USA. Ignore stakes in your country.
You are offering unique, niche service that nobody else offer.
If your customer haven't money for your service, send him to green grass.

3000$ per month for 12h a day is too little

Yes, it's too little. But it's not $5 people asking on forum

So you work for $10 an hour? Am I missing something here, or are the Polish pay that bad?

Bruh..

If you are working 5 days a week, thats like $12-13 an hour..

According to Glassdoor, that is less than what people earn at McDonalds (since you mentioned them as an example)

Good point I miss calculated my pricing for project
But still it's not $5 for such project

You are earning 3000 dollars coz your client is appreciating the work you do for him and making profit. Thats why they are paying that much.

If somebody is offering services for 5 dollars maybe its bcoz they want to earn that 5 dollars or extra 5 dollars or build portfolio or long term relation to earn extra in future.

Dont boil your blood over such petty stuff as the other person might be in much desperate situation than you can imagine or think

The "Sir" guys will never say no tho

As long as you're providing a decent service within a niche that have decent demand,
you don't have to worry about people offering less prices or others asking for lower rates,
they'll get worse services & realize that they would need to pay sooner or later

The same here, I laugh a lot on many HAF threads, thankfully, you can't comment there, but again it's a free trade, if they find someone willing to do the job for that price, who are we to blame any of them ?

look both sides of the coin could be people that really have a limited budget and are desperate to kick off somthing even if is cheap or maybe is people that is trying to get cheap things even when they can afford them that is most of the cases, either or still bad to ask for high quality products when you only have $5 is like trying to buy a Lambo for $10 and the catch if you agree they add $0.30 extra cents for you they don't have any shame still is not bad to ask if maybe there is a chance, who knows.

I would only charge a low $ for a service when I've just started a new service. Or hell I probably won't even charge and make it free tbh.

With the goal of looking to improve as fast as humanely possible.

Then I'd increase the price over time as I get better at providing the service.

I don't provide services though, so just take it as my two cents. .

Bro, I understand how you feel. Some people don’t know the value or they just want to take advantage. Ignore those posts, otherwise they will only make you more upset.

Did you just mean fiverr, lol

Yes, I also experience similar types of problems, sometimes i give my client a quote and then they come up with new one which seems like they got it from fiverr type sellers, I don't know whether they try to trick me or not but that is really frustrating for the sellers here in bhw.

I think they are just destroying the industry with poor services and we should be careful about it.

Why would you send them to me!?

You are spoiling him, he does not need any hosting, he got his own server farm in his basement on the mansion.

The industry isn't developing, and people aren't working due to cheap labor.
