Don't listen to likwidek. If you can even read the jibberish, you have a skill that people will pay you for. Better to start with people you know and are patient with you, but just b/c you haven't mastered something doesn't mean you don't have a talent with it that is worth something.

I was giving constructive criticism:

My point was simply that doing Pro Bono work is the best way to build a portfolio and get experience. I never felt right charging people for something unless I was certain I knew what I was doing. Plus you have no idea how powerful word of mouth is from deals like that.

The other idea I offered was simply that if he was going to take the guys money, use a myspace profile editor (mygen), and didn't know how to edit it; he should find an expert, maybe some hungry college kid or something to fix it, learn a little, and cut him a small percentage. It's a win win.

If it had been a nonprofit deal I would have looked at it in a totally different light. I'm just speaking from my own business experience in what helped me gain great word of mouth and how I learned.
