When To Work for Free – Podcast

Every now and then I write a blog post that strikes a chord and sparks some conversation. And, this podcast prompted a few comments, phone calls and even some debate amongst friends. We asked the perennial business question that seems to confront all solo operators at some stage of their career:

[Tweet “When to work for free – 11 things to consider”]

In reply we offered 11 things to consider.

  1. Never
  2. Currency
  3. Mates Rates
  4. To Gain Experience
  5. All About Them
  6. Be Specific
  7. The Free Lunch
  8. Pro-Bono

  10. Marketing Partnerships
  11. Content Marketing
