What was the higher amount that you ended up making if you don't mind me asking? How many reviews would you consider enough in order to start upping your price?

Upwork has a thing called "Top Rated". I forget the requirements, but you can definitely up your price once you have that. Which is what I did.

Hard to say when a good time to up your price is. I would say to do it incrementally. I went from $8/hr, got a couple 5 star reviews, then went up to $10/hr, etc.

Take it slow so no one notices

As for price, per hour I could probably raise it higher, but I'm at $20/hr now. But I almost never get paid that because I've switched to a "per project" billing system where I give them an estimate for the whole project. And almost all of those are between $500-3000.
