[Hidden-tech] Re: PR opportunity for web designer

[Tish Grier]

Jeff makes a really good point here.  The Ad Club is a long-established organization.  Least they can do is give a free year's membership for whomever does the work.  Still, they should expect in return the type of work that the year membership cost would cover.

This raises a larger issue though:  how much should one do "for free" in exchange for p.r., for one's "portfolio," or other perks?  It's one thing to give some basic advice here and there, another to give away services or more in-depth guidance.

How is it possible that the Ad Club of Western Mass, the "largest advertising/marketing company in the region," doesn't have a couple hundred bucks to throw to a web designer?

Design is hard work, and in my opinion, once you start doing it for free, that's what your rate becomes.
