Well I guess every one has there price what they will work for.  After all one company's finance is not going to be the same as another.  What will be profitable to me may cost you money to do.  I think a lot of company's don't know there cost of doing business, so hard to know what you need to make.  This is why I see so many truck mount repos after the fist year at my supplier.  For example I spend on average of 3k a month on advertising, so if I only made a 100 a day I would be in trouble.

Computers is my hobby. I could probably make more money servicing them than I do carpet cleaning, but then it wouldn't be fun anymore

To bad all the cleaners can't just communicate and set there prices.  Kind of like the gas companies that don't under cut each other and all get rich.  I'm dreaming again.  WAKE UP WAKE UP.  The way I look at it is you don't want to price you self out of business (works both ways to high or low).  I also look at it like this.  If you sit at home what do you make.  If you go out and clean for lets say 2 rooms for $50, thats still $25 and hour including drive time. Think its hard to have a set price,  sometimes its better to price your self to get the job and still make sense. Just my opinion.
