		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Valuing Your Business...&lt;/strong&gt;

Raising prices when belts are being tightened around every corner may, in some instances, be commercial suicide, but it is sound business sense to monitor your pricing structure on a regular basis. [Guest Post by Euphrosene Labon]

		<description>Starbucks charges $5 for some coffee, and I haven't heard anyone complaining. If you do good work, rate raising is justified.</description>

		<description>I have to say I think this post of Lea's has to be one of the best on FreelanceSwitch, I was blown away when she sent it in! 

Raising rates is always hard, when I freelanced I raised my rates all the time, the hard thing I found was that I couldn't bring myself to do it to every client all at once, so there were always some clients on  different rates which became really hard to keep track of, after a while!</description>
