Yes, I'm one of those people. If it's a low price my expectations are low.

That's not always the case as we know but it's the norm.

Right now I'm trying to get some work at practically any rate just to get things in my portfolio.

Once I have a few more "good" videos it seems possible that I could charge a more realistic rate. Rates like...about $1000 a minute for completely original content are not all that unreasonable.

You have a good point about pricing. I'll be scheming to get more money for my videos even now as they aren't that impressive.

It seems to me that if you have an effective sales and marketing plan and bring your own prospects to conversion your chances of making MUCH more money is possible. If there is no sales and marketing plan then you are stuck in the online marketplaces where they demand small miracles in technical skill and delivery for very little cash.

The big skill is truly attracting your own clients. Everything else can be outsourced in one way or another.
