outingly is on a distinguished road

The fact that he quadrupled the pay without being asked to is astonishing. I would take that as proof that with your current clients, you can charge more. As others have mentioned, first and foremost is that you receive the salary that YOU want.

Secondly, but also important is the type of client. Think of it like retail and wholesale. You might not be able to charge (or find clients) in the web development world willing to pay thousands for work they're outsourcing *hint, wholesale*. But if your clients are end-users - you can charge them retail prices baby.

What to take from my two cents? Firstly, its YOUR salary, and the beauty of freelancing is that you can dictate it, to an extent. Secondly - play close attention to who you're dealing with. Is it a multi-million dollar firm, or is it....

Hope that helps!
