Feedback

I am a top freelancer on another site and I must say that I am disappointed at the amount of clients who expect something for nothing on this site.

It is incredible to see the price erosion, especially on multimedia and graphic design projects.

That is the only thing that is keeping me from making a jump to oDesk.com as a provider to offer my graphic design services to this online community is the fact that clients expect to pay $15 for a 3 hour job?

That is $5 per hour! The National minimum wage isn't even that low!

Now that is out of the way, I propose a minimum budget of $50 for fixed fee projects and a minimum of $20 per hour on hourly jobs. This should be the case for graphic designer who work with their own equipment and have to take on the responsibility to make sure it runs correctly in order to provide quality work.

I am not sure if this will fall on deaf ears or not. There is already another site that has extensive price erosion.

As a designer, I know the value of my work and if anyone who wants to work with me, wants nothing but the best work out there, then they must be willing to make an investment on the marketing, design and advertising of their own business.
