Each Wednesday at 1 pm EST, a diverse group of independent communication pros from across the globe gather to discuss hot topics and timely issues that impact the solo professional. The April 9 #solopr twitter chat was once again filled with savvy pros at varying stages of their business willing to share insights on submitted questions. The following topics of interest were discussed:

1. What are your ideas, tips for effectively on-boarding new client? #SoloPR
2. How do you get in a groove working with a new client? #SoloPR
3. What to do about scope creep of sorts. i.e: client keeps trying to add “just a few more hours a week” to your contract? #SoloPR
4. What's the best way to package & promote new set of services (ie social media trainings) w/out sounding self-promotional? #SoloPR
5. Twitter employee tweeted her birth: how much is too much? Do you have guidelines for yourself/clients? #SoloPR
