I have the concept (aecs.ws if you wish to visit), vision, and foundation set up, but I do not know how to charge my clients and build my business. Is $150 per/hour too much? When do I ask to be paid? When should I hire another Consultant? I'm new to this and need help.

Hello,
I checked your website and I think the following Free ebooks will be helpful to you.
The first Free eBooks is about how to sell your services on Internet and if you plan to build website to your customers (schools etc.) then you will find the second book useful too.
So...sit, relax, Read and Learn!
