And what I'm saying is that people will tend to value you, in some respects, according to how you value yourself. For those who are not yet professionals, are not yet unduly concerned with self-support, taking on a job at no charge at all is quite alright. The experience can always pay off. Nevertheless, when you become a professional, you will be doing yourself a disservice to sell yourself short.
I have given advice in this very forum that it can be a good thing to work more cheaply than your competition. If you do good work, then you are a higher valued property. More bang for the buck.
You can always go too far. If you don't think you're worth the bucks, people will agree with you. Maybe they'll use you for their unimportant schlock, but they'll give the good stuff to someone else.
