The way I do it is presenting myself and offering a solution or ask for more information if needed. That way I can quote them in a semi-formal way. Charging by hour most of the time. But the problem is there are a lot of requests from people who tried to do it themselves and screwed up or have a broken site and is looking for fixes for less than $200.<div>

<font face="Verdana">I'm interested to hear about your experiences with
Paid services section on <a href="http://drupal.org" target="_blank">drupal.org</a>, and Jobs on groups too. <br>
<br>
Do you bid for projects there, did you get any clients and referrals
through those clients, are there any differences between those clients
and the offline ones, how serious are they? Is it possible to build a
reputation that way or can it be only done offline with local projects?
Should strategies differ for someone new to Drupal community and an
experienced Drupaler? Any additional advice you can share? <br>
<br>
I'm very grateful for your input, there's a lot of smart people here! I
hope you don't mind my inquisitive approach :)<br>
