Quotes to ponder:

"Exposure to the right people matters more when it comes to finding paying customers."

"When you're able to get a tangible benefit or something of real value to you or your business from the deal, it's a win-win for everyone involved."

"Only you can ultimately decide what your time is worth. But we urge you not to give it away without some type of compensation."
