I'm amazed at how cheap some of you people will whore yourselves out for. Obviously you have no clue how much work goes into a campaign. Just a word of advice to companies, "you get what you pay for"
That's how the market goes. Also, offering someone his/her service for a cheaper rate is not "whoring oneself" out, and freelancers from different parts of the world would likely say the same. I've encountered several people asking for a high rate in exchange of their "amazing" services yet always delivered half-baked results with many compromises done on their tasks, so generalizing that someone who asks for a cheaper rate for their services won't deliver better results than those who asks for a fortune is plainly wrong.
I've been in this forum for three years. I know I'm not one of the prominent guys around like you but that doesn't mean I don't understand how the market goes. Thanks for your feedback, yahoo.
