Episode 87 - Building Your Podcast Editing and Support Business - Why Free Is Your Secret Weapon

The mindset shift – why doing work for free (strategically) can be the fastest way to get clients, proof, and confidence.

Key points:

  • The difference between “working for free” and “being taken advantage of” – free as an intentional marketing channel, not your permanent business model.​
  • What early clients really need to see: reliability, communication, and results more than a big portfolio.

How a handful of well-chosen free projects can give you:

  1. Before/after audio samples.
  2. Testimonials and reviews.
  3. Case studies for your website.

Clear boundaries: time-limited or project-limited free offers, so you don’t burn out.

Call to action:

  • Define a personal “free work cap” (e.g., 3–5 free clients or 10 free episodes) and write it down.
