Ask How do you handle being outbid on every proposal you send on Freelancer.com?

[Brendan]

It is quite discouraging to see people offering to do a job for a price that is so low it seems impossible. On sites like Freelancer, the bidding system often turns into a race to the bottom where everyone wants to be the cheapest person. I keep wondering how anyone can make a living when others are charging next to nothing for hard work. Since you cannot always be the cheapest, how do you convince a client that your higher price is actually worth it?
