I'd say the absolute minimum would be $25/hr. Anything below that and you're pricing yourself alongside high school students and dabblers, and the clients that insist on working with someone cheaper will probably be bad clients. If you're a beginner and have absolutely no clue what you're worth, I'd say throw out $30 or $35 an hour and see what happens. There's a good chance they'll just say OK. If they balk, say you understand, and can do an introductory rate on this first project of $25/hr. If you do a great job any further work will be at your usual rate of $30 or $35.

This is from experience as a math tutor, but I'd stand by those numbers as a baseline for almost anything creative too. Of course you can go much higher after just a little experience and narrowing down your niche.
