How much of your time, effort and IP are you giving away? Why are you doing it? Are you getting a return on it? When is it time to say “that’ll cost you”? And how much do you charge? 

 Brand Newsroom is a marketing podcast for anyone who has a say in how companies are communicating — covering marketing, content marketing, public relations, media, branding and advertising.

Here are some key take-outs: 

• If you’re speaking at an event that costs money, you should get paid
• You never know who’s going to be in the audience
• Ask yourself what do you want to get out of it and what does the person asking you to do something for nothing get out of it
• If someone is benefitting financially from your expertise, you should be financially benefiting from providing your input, advice or services
• Ask yourself whom the audience is and whether they’re your audience, too.
