my firm does a fair bit of pro-bono. Sometimes I wonder how we stay solvent. I started working on a pro-bono piece back in May, a 12-page brochure, and it still isn't done. Plus, at the end of the summer the client added a folder, an envelope, and a product list into the mix. Not a big deal, but it's been a pain in the ass...the whole project could've taken less than a month, start to finish if this client could get their act together.

i did a web site for the artist that tattoos me. in exchange he inked me for a day. i'm good friends with the dude, so it was more me doing it for free and getting some work as a bonus.
it's hard to explain... he really appreciated the project and it's proven successful for his business, but i got the vibe that it was in the back of his head that he was working that day for free.
i decided from then on to pay for my tattoos and charge him for any work. it's proven a better way to go.
point is, even the good guys hate working for free.

written, signed and agreed beforehand contracts. if they step over your line, charge the earth.
sit back and bark at them:
WHO'S THE DADDY? YEAH? YEAH?

I'll do Pro Bono when Bono shows up at my nephew's party wishing him Happy Bidday.
