I entirely agree with you @thecryptoking ! This is the way I had when I started, and even tho' now it would be really waaay lower than I would ask for my work, this way of charging is set for these who are just getting started in this path. But I agree with your way of thinking. See, you must be an experience freelance worker and this is what makes you know all these things and share this information.

As I said I come from Argentina, and there when you get started at something, you are absolutely no one. So you have to earn that position and the respect from your clients. This is why I recommend start small and get bigger and bigger with time. Also I don't think it is too bad to work that much at the beginning. Because this will teach the artist (if it s an artist) in many many ways and make his/her technique get better. So there is something positive as well.

But indeed, after some time and experience it MUST be changed.
