Product Development: Any strategies for building a creative portfolio without giving work away for free and thus risk losing product value in the eyes of the customer?
Dan Willis, Digital Marketing Guru answered:

Hit a cause. Something current and of value and that strikes a chord with you personally. Create a piece of content that reflects not only your skill but your passion for the cause. This will obviously not come across that you are a pro bono machine as it was a personal cause you were committed to while at the same time creating a piece of work that accurately portrays what you can deliver for a client.
