Many start up business guides suggest working for free, to establish yourself and get to know potential clients.

The theory behind this is that this can gain you word of mouth referrals – people for whom you work for free will refer you to paying clients. It is important to remember not to give away too much of your time, as well as not to devalue your time. People often believe things have value based on how much they cost. It can also be difficult to transition from working for free to charging fees. It can be upsetting to realize that many clients only want your services when they are free.

You can also work for free and market yourself by acting as a volunteer for a community organization that may need your services, or being an intern in a larger company that does something similar to what your business will do.

Working for free should be something that is part of an overall business plan. DO not work for free unless there is some benefit to yourself, such as a barter style exchange of services. You should know before you start how much time you will spend working for free, and how you will transition to charging fees. Make certain to tell anyone whom you work for free for your normal rates, so that if they refer you to someone, they can tell them your prices, rather than having all of your referrals also want you to work for free.

Once you’ve transitioned to working for regular prices, make sure to charge appropriately. You need to make a living, and your skills as a consultant or as a coach are valuable.
