How do you figure out what to charge as a freelancer? Picked up photo editing on the side because my hours got cut at my regular job, and I'm pretty sure I'm underpricing myself badly compared to everyone else. Right now I just guess a number and hope nobody laughs.

1. i undercharged for years doing freelance design, wish i had figured out rates sooner instead of just splitting the difference between what i thought was fair and what i was scared to ask for
