As I said, you often get out of it what you put in and as I also said, it does not appear that you have put in much.

As for your miniscule "offer" of $10 for my domains, site, paid software, effort, just because you know how to set up a website in minutes, remember it next time you go to the doctor, for example, and he gives you a diagnosis and prescription in 1 minute. Pay him just $1 because it was all too fast and easy... for him.

That was sarcasm. Your sites are not worth the $10.
I pay my doctor a good rate because she knows what she is doing. she spent time, effort and money going to medical school in order to be able to bill out at the amount she charges. I guarantee you that she did not get to charge that rate the day she set foot out of medical school, during her internship or during her first few jobs with whatever practices she worked for before she started her own.
You are wanting to charge for your learning curve. If an experienced webmaster can do in minutes what you can do in months then I would only pay the amount that the experienced webmaster would charge me for the task because I should not have to pay for your learning curve.
It would be different if I asked you to do something for me and you said "well, I don't know how to do that" and I said, well try it anyway. Then by all means you should charge for the learning curve, but that is not the situation here.
What you have can be acheived in an hour or 2 so why should anybody pay more than that for it?
