Hey,

I am thinking about doing some free work, to build my skillsets and my brand. But I dont want
to be exploited. I thought the best way to avoid that is to come up with VERY specfic conditions,
such as getting mentioned or introduced to other people. Can you tell me personal experiences,
dos and don`ts, tactics etc.?
