The graph of the two different revenue streams is interesting (taking the job for a lower cost gets you more jobs, but higher cost gets you more per job). At some point, I bet you can find an equilibrium where gross revenue is the same with the higher cost jobs.

In addition, if you price yourself so that your schedule isn't booked, you'll be more open to new clients, which gives you a better opportunity to find even higher priced clients.

Seems like as a freelancer, at least, your best long term strategy is to price yourself out of a decent amount of work.
