Excellent marketing :) I know a lot of people with a lot more experience than you willing to work for 50 euro/hour from Spain, but also from the Netherlands and Germany if they don't have to sit in an office. If someone hires you, it gives hope for others. I know high spec coders from Spain with > 5 year experience in companies, top iOS dev skills and a lot more working for not even half that freelance.

Edit: downvotes because... ? Anyway: I think $66/hour is not expensive per-se, but it can quickly become way too much; 8 weeks is almost $22k, is that interesting for a startup? How about fixed price like: http://iwbyp.chris-granger.com/?

Seriously? You can forward them to me. I am working from Belgium and am currently swamped with iOS projects, would love to get some experienced freelancers aboard. Email is in my profile.

Thanks :) However, 8 weeks delivery time does not mean the cost will be $22k! I will have regular talks with my client on Skype and let them know the approximate working hours (which should be ranging from 50 to 200 hours, depending on the complexity of the product).

6-8 weeks delivery time just means, well... that I will deliver the product in 6-8 weeks. :)

I also work on a milestone basis and regularly show progress. This means that my clients will have a clear idea of what they're paying for. Not a bad deal and certainly not overpriced imho.

He Philip, to be clear, my comment sounds more negative than it is I think. I love your initiative and I hope you get a lot of takers. I also hope people realize that you pay for quality. I'm just trying to see lower risk for startups. And you are right about the price (it's quite low even), thing is that I see a lot of economic changes which might, in some cases, no warrant that price. So let's say I'm seeking discussion about freelance hour prices in the EU.

When I started out, my chamber of commerce told me literally that I should not ask below 90 guilders (when they still existed) which would now be about E65. But then I was just starting out; I can ask E150-200 and I would get that <= 2008. What is normal now for different years of experience?

This is not marketing. It is advertising, straight up. There is a specific offer.
