Freelance Multimedia Rates

I am curious to see what other multimedia producers charge for freelance work.
Multimedia producers and interactive designers that is (I group them into the same category since I do both).

As for me, my current freelance rates are:
$1000 USD per day (for up to a 12-hour day) for work that is for-profit,
$500 USD per day (for up to a 12-hour day) for work that is non-profit.

I offer a 6% discount for payments received in-full
within one business day of services rendered.

I am also available for-hire on an hourly basis at:

$100 USD per hour for work that is for-profit,
$50 USD per hour for work that is non-profit.

My rates do not include expenses.

I would like to know how my rates compare to my fellow multimedia creatives out there.

I’ve been told numerous times that my rates are way too low
but I am not exactly sure just how low they are.

I guess a lot of what you can charge depends on your skill-set, talent, and quality of equipment.

I don’t want to underprice the market or anything,
but it does all seem pretty subjective for multimedia.

UPDATE:
April 28
I raised my rates.
