Inaccurate rates
Hello VB community ! I'm new here so I'm hoping I'm not posting something that has already been talked about. If it's the case, send me the link to the post :)
I filled out all my info including the rates and made sure they were competitive since I'm new to the Platform. So for 500 words I put $150 which is lower that the other ladies in my category (French-Europe/middle age/young adult). But when I browse for voice actors as if I were the client, my rate is suddenly $745 for 500 words. I went back to my rate page to double check, made sure everything was right and clicked on save but the rate on the browser is still inaccurate. Am I doing something wrong?
I uploaded many high quality samples but I think because of those high rates I'm not getting any bookings. Maybe it's also because I'm just new :)
Please help!

Hi Morgane!
Thank you for letting us know about your issues!
About the prices, please note that our system adds our margins on top of your rates. We have some operating and marketing costs (our algorithm, our quality control, production management and talent management teams, our sales and SEO efforts to bring more clients, our infrastructure, servers, etc.) that need to be covered. As we don't want to take anything from your rate, we add our own margins on top to make sure that you are getting fairly compensated for your job and we are also for ours.
If you want to learn more about how we calculate your rewards and how our margins work on top of that, you can take a look at our webinar recap on the matter here: https://goo.gl/B1XjpP
Let me know if you're left out with any doubts after that!
