   Have you figured what you need to make wages, cover expenses and make a profit?

   The rest should be easy, until they start to talk.

   A. You didn't fill out your profile/ personal page.

   B. You don't tell us what part of the country you work in.

   C. You say you are in a high-end community but don't tell us what profession you are in. Are you a GC? Electrician? Plumber? Framer? Finish Carpenter? Tile Person? Management?...

   D. What's your experience?

   E. Do you have a truck?

   F. Tools?

   G. What have YOU gotten paid in the past?

   H. What benifits did you get in the past?

   So far I have put more thought into this post than you have and it's your livelihood we are discussing. Sit down and get serious before you begin asking others for their time and knowledge.

   It all comes down to how much you can successfully sell yourself for.

   it comes down to interviewing potential clients, & determining who can afford the services, values the service, & who will be a "customer for life".
