Episode 1898:
Vicki Cook and Amy Blacklock break down why saying yes to unpaid work can undermine your business, time, and income, especially for women already carrying the weight of unpaid labor. They share clear, thoughtful criteria to help freelancers decide when working for free might serve their goals, and when it's better to walk away.

Quotes to ponder:
"Working for exposure is not the 'free advertising' that people claim it to be."
"You aren't making money from paying customers when you choose to spend time producing free content, goods, or other services."
"Freelancers striving to build their dream career don't work for free simply to help out others."
