You don't know of any person in a service trade that did promo work to build their portfolio?
I know auto mechanics, actors, hair people, nail people, home inspectors, photographers, and cooks who have done free work for free promotions.
Some people hate on the concept but it's how people get their start in an industry.
- emodendroket 5y agoIf you think the idea that people will stop valuing things they can get for free and refuse to pay for them is far fetched, I encourage you to see how your hometown newspaper is doing.
- jf22 5y agoYour reply is odd. You wanted "proof" work-for-promotions happen and I just wanted to point out this happens in several trades. Anyway, I don't disagree with your comment at all. Certain trades are undervalued because it takes portfolio building or practice in a professional setting to get started. You seemed to be unaware that this happens but now it seems you do?
- emodendroket 5y agoI didn’t want proof they happened. I wanted proof they have the touted benefits. That is what I am not convinced of. I believe “exposure” through free work is of very little value.
