Been reading discussion and wanted to add my 2 cents. None of this is fair, but life isnt fair and there is no justice, at least not in this life. The people who hire off Craigs list and Guru.com at $10 an hour are not people you want to work for. This is why,
1 They are clueless, they dont know enough about business to realize if you want it done right and on time you have to pay market rate. (They dont even know what market rate is) There will be a lot of hand holding and explaining the basics of the internet. 2 They have no respect for your profession and think anyone could do it. They wont listen to any advice, and will have unrealistic expectations. 3 They will comeback time and again with changes and expect them to be free 4 They are also likely to not pay you in full Basically you end up dealing with people like this http://www.vendorclientvideo.com/ Most fields have a cut rate option and a high quality option. There is McDonald's and there are gourmet restaurants. Some people are happy to eat at McDonalds, and have no one to blame but themselves when they have a heart attack.
