NOTE

Value of Offering Free Work

Offering free work can be a powerful way to demonstrate value and expertise to potential clients. Cold emails that promise great subject lines, intriguing offers, but then ask for a call instead of providing work upfront often miss the mark. Giving a day's worth of free work can showcase one's skills and immediately convince the recipient of the value they bring.
