That is probably because you advertised it for free. Free creates a lot of headaches for business. You should quote a price and offer a discount (or the first project free. Its basically the same thing, but you are actually selling yourself better.

Do it for free = you're worth nothing.

Do it for pay = after a job.

Either way no dice. It's a tricky one.

That's where the first project free comes into picture.
