The article "As A Free Agent, How Much Do You Give Away?" is about entrepreneurialism, it has been released by Chris King.
Those who are willing to give of themselves for free find that opportunities and many other advantages come thier way. Just think about truly successful perosns and philanthropists. In this article I share ways to be a giver by speaking, writing and giving of your time.But, what should I speak or write about? What is your area of expertise? What lessons have you learned from becoming a free agent, indepednent professional and freelancer? How could you help others succeed? For example, if you're a writer, you could give a talk or workshop on writing skills along with writing an article too. If you write copy, you could speak and/or write about what makes a killer news release or advertisement.If you're a web designer/developer you colud speak and/or write about the pitfalls faced when designing a web site or hiring someone to help you design a web site. If you're a builder, you could give a talk and/or write about on how to pick a contractor and set up a sucecssful working relationship.
What are the quetsions your clients ask you? These will give you an idea for timely topics.
I have included a form for asking questions on every one of my websites.But who will want me to speak to them or write for them?
I know that you realize that we are in the middle of the biggest information age of all time.
The operative word here is "free." When we give away information, either by speaking or writing, we will find that persons want more. There are many groups and companies who are always looking for speakers. Chambers of Commerce, clubs, associations and organizations meet on a regular basis and are always delighted to find a good speaker who has something unique to share.With the growth of the Internet, writers are in demand. My one warning is to not go ovebroard with giving away too much.
Give enough that they want more and can come to you to get it.What else can you give away?
Our most vaulable commodity, in my opinion, is time. When we are willing to share of our valuable time to volnuteer for an organization or group of our choice, our rewards will be unlimited. Most of my work has come about either from volunteering or networking.
And bseides the work, I have developed wonderful relationships and friendships. We all know that perosns like to work with and hire their friends. Anotehr benefit of being actively involved with groups is what I have learned about leadership, about persons and about current trends -- along with all of the information I have garnered.Be generous. Your generosity will not only be appreciated, it will flow back to you three or even four fold.Chris King is a free agent, professional speaker, storyteller, writer, website creator / designer, and fitness instrutcor.
