Over my career I've found myself providing services for free to non-profit organizations who save a bundle through my suggestions, but run an office with a staff of ten, salaries, benefits and electricity bills.
A non-profit is not a non-revenue, and I fail to see why I should not take part in the revenue stream.
I quit all this 15 years ago when a non-profit asked me to drive 10 km north to stand by while they did their first mail-merge. Why stand-by? In case it didn't work and they used a few sheets of paper unwisely.
For a few sheets of paper I was to schedule 3 hours of my time, drive 10 km each way, ...
No. My time is worth more than that.
I am NOT priceless; I am worthy of my hire of any organization in the business world that has a revenue stream.
Especially if their revenue stream is greater than my revenue stream.
Talk to Me!
