Question---how do designers who do this survive? $500 is not a lot of money---you'd need 100 of these projects/year to make 50K. Do designers do that many? If you've got bigger projects, something like this seems valuable as a sales tool rather than your bread and butter.

$500 is quite a bit of money if you live someplace relatively cheap. That could be Eastern Europe, somewhere in the midwestern US, the Philippines, or elsewhere. Granted, there may be more transaction costs working with people in those places, but in some situations, that may be worth it for the savings.
