Is Pro Bono Work Worthwhile?

Episode 103: Doing Pro bono work... is it worth it?

In today's episode we talk about if its worth it to do pro bono work when you are pivoting to a new audience for which you don't have any previous work to showcase.

Pro-bono work is GREAT for portfolio building! Personal projects tend to do a bit better for building a portfolio of "ideal" work so try to keep that in mind.

Short answer: pro-bono work is absolutely worthwhile when you are just starting out.
