I say its your business and you set the rates to your desire.....However,

when you are new to this business and don't have a built reputation, you don't really have anything to base your prices off of. I started out slightly lower than the rest of the people out there, i set a program that helped me stand out and be different from others as well.

Every year I have increased my rates, however, this year due to the economy, i will not be raising rates. the rates in my area have actually gone down.

I think that if you are confident in what you are selling you will have no problems. If the rates are too high, you can always lower them....The glory of being the owner and boss of your OWN business...
