Agree 110%. People just don't ask. But people starting out assume they will ask, so they get nervous and maybe even bring it up themselves.

Also I used to charge super cheap, because I figured it was good for me to learn and good for them because they pay less (highly not recommended).

Charge a decent amount upfront, it means you can spend more hours working for them, they will value your work more, respect you more and a whole list of other things. Also if your in competition with other people bidding too low will only land you the worst clients. The best clients pay more and because they are successful will respect your time.
