If people have past projects I can see: "they built X app for Y price." But if you're new, all I see is an hourly rate, which means nothing.
You can solve this 2 ways
1) lower your rate so low that someone hires you, and build up your experience so you can charge more
2) show examples of your work, with prices. "I built this. If you wanted a site just like this, it would cost you $XXXX (XX hours)".
No one does the latter. I wish they would.
