If you're on your own you're better off setting a minimum set of hours in your contract or working at a fixed monthly rate (with max hours limit).

Strict hourly rate is better for companies that can handle ups and downs by shifting resources. Individuals need a stronger guarantee. When I started out it was always long-term, fixed monthly. Not by the hour.
