I do freelance work on the side and recently moved to a small town from mid-sized city. I've had a lot of opportunties to quote out jobs, but I was getting no response back (which in the past was never really a problem). Someone suggested to me that my hourly rate was way too high for the area, so I reduced it by half, but basically quote twice the hours (so in the end I make the same) and all of sudden I started getting work again. Is this a common thing to do? I feel a little bad about doing that, but the results have proved that the end result is the same. Any other suggestions on how others handle this?
