I'm ashamed to admit this.

I worked for someone on RentACoder back in the day. I got paid to develop software that is now used by over 20 million people. My cut for a week of work? $200.

Never again... (and years later I'm still periodically asked by the owner of the company if I'm interested in new projects for the same pay rate)

I see no reason to be ashamed. If you think your skills are going to provide them a higher income, increase your rates and explain why you are doing it. I have learnt a lot from Brennan Dunn's blog: http://brennandunn.com/ I'm sure it will provide you some good insights.

I don't see why this is shameful. If anything, you can use your new credentials to charge higher.

Would you reveal the site/project name?
