I think my fees are very reasonable. I also hang out in forums like this to occasionally help people out. It's true that my website is designed for me to eventually make a profit. My goal is to be able to spend more time at home with my family (with the help of the income I get from helping people online) and less time in the office.

I hope that clears things up!
