> Is there anything I can do/say to try and convince clients that good programming skills are actually worth paying for?

Try to diagnose the root of the problem. I see three possibilities:

#1: People don't want the services you have to offer. (There is a poor market.)

#2: People want the services you have to offer, but don't know about you. (You're having trouble finding each other.)

#3: People want the services you have to offer, but don't believe you have them (they don't trust that you will deliver for them successfully).



I would add #4: People want the services you have to offer, but cannot afford their cost (they trust you but have not budget for your services)
