Indie QA Pricing

How much should I charge as a freelance game tester? More specifically, how much are indie game devs willing to pay a freelance tester with professional QA experience to test their game? Per hour or per day?

I'm a professional game tester and I'm starting my own freelance side business for some extra income, but I don't know how I should price myself. Any feedback on what you're all willing to pay for testers and how much testing you would pay for would be a big help to me.

Most likely indie game developers won't pay for testing because they (a) don't have a budget for testing (b) can get it for free from people here who offer.

If you extensively played a genre of games, say puzzle games and you could give advice on specific aspects of a puzzle game, or suggest improvements, someone might pay for that. The price would depend on the person's financial status and country they live in, rather than the skills you bring to the table. 

Hm, guess I'll have to market myself to small studios then.
