FWIW, I charge $300 / hr as a mobile/full stack developer (and I'm based in TX). My clients are mostly startups. I have more work than I know what to do with, and have for quite a while.

Probably raising my rate to $350 soon.

That's amazing, well done. Where do you meet clients in town?

Thanks! Good question.

Most of my inbound comes through referrals. I've been at this for about 8 years, so my referral network is pretty healthy. First few years were rough though!

In general, the real "trick" to a successful network (as least for me) is just to be friendly and do good work. Lots of coffee meetings, phone calls, and lunches. :)

Do you promote yourself? How?

Not at all. I've been at this for a while, so most of my work comes from previous clients or others in my network. It took a while to build that up, but now that it's in place, it's a pretty steady source of work.

Most people who are referred to me know what I charge, so there's not much haggling. People want results and I have a reputation for delivering them.

How many hours a week are you deciding to work?
