I'm with jamble. Being self-employed and only four months into it means that for me, giving work away right now is basically taking money out of my mortgage.
I have no philosophical opposition to free work though. It somehow lets you maintain more dignity than heavily discounted work.
That being said, I just sent out a proposal for a restaurant ID today, and took out a 30% discount... simply because he's not used to hiring designers, because I want to break into that business (one of a few business niches around here that still seem to be doing OK), and because this guy owns three other restaurants that are in dire need of rebranding.
Perhaps when the stream of cash flow gets stronger and I've got more money in the bank, I can afford to do more free work.
