Opinions on raising rates?

Dalia XXXXO's Avatar
Hi
My rate has been 120, but I want to raise it to 200.

I provide everything in my reviews, all with a sweet attitude. Almost everyone I've met has enjoyed my company. I work full time, so I'd only be doing this on the side.
But, I still want more for my services.
I feel weird about posting, and having people question me. It annoys me.
I actually think I'm worth more! Also, I've been on this site for almost 2 yrs, there's always a time to want more for yourself right?
Can someone just tell me to do it and stop feeling weird about it?

Just needing some support lol thanks!!!

Do what you want. If you raise your rates and still get the level of business you want then all good.

Do it. Indy's should at a minimum be charging no less than $200 per hr with HH starting out at $150. Why that particular math? Because it incentivizes tricks to go for the full Hr "discount" or deal :-) Basically for $50 more they can upgrade their Sprite to a Milk Shake and get a Medium fry for the same price and extra cheese on that burger. Do it!!!

Just consider this request a "cost of living" increase. With the rise in gasoline prices after Harvey food costs are going up so her overhead will necessarily increase because of it.
