So I've been kind of wanting to start my own website up. Very simple, clients contact me for any illustrative work they want done, and I'll do it for them, at a price.

Only thing holding me back is I don't really have the confidence to do it. Do you guys think I'm qualified to actually provide my services for cash? I'm thinking of charging between 10 to 15 dollars per hour. Be honest. I don't wanna be giving my clients garbage and have unhappy customers.

you have the talent. you seem to have the patience. like what was said above, you just need experience in the client-designer relationship.

you should also pick up new organization habits like keeping track of your work time, writing down project to-do lists, and creating accurate invoices. if you already do that, then you're probably set.

also, i would charge a base fee for concept design and then charge per hour depending on the project. i pmed you with a site that has decent blogs and tips specifically for freelancers.
