Wanna Do Lunch?

I recently wrote a post on doing pro bono work. Some in the freelance and small business worlds are vehemently against such work, while others embrace it. I think there has to be a middle ground. Pro bono work can be useful for your business and grow your following. On the other hand, it can distract you from the critical building work of your business. I think you have to look at each opportunity individually and judge it for itself.

What do you think? Do you donate your products? Do you give your friends free stuff? Do you work on projects without charging a fee? Where do you draw the line>
