"... Which in some cases can be worth more long term than a fee." - ell.
which is very true,
unfortunately potential clients or businesses know that as well and they always try to get work for free or cheaper by argueing in that same manner. they also might add: i'll get you a zillion clients / i'll make you rich / if you do my stuff for free.
now i've been a sucker in my early days and felt for it, no one, zero of those promises where ever kept. maybe an exception here and there but it was always extremely minor.
now i don't say don't do free work, it's the type of client you should look at. commercial / business? never. non commercial, like museums etc. always. those are really interesting for free work for long term effects. simply because they have no real business end in their motivations and give you a lot of headroom.
