Starting this week, we'll be posting the transcript from the weekly #solopr Twitter chat (Wednesdays, 1-2 p.m. Eastern) here on the blog. Why? Because each week the chats are chock-full of free advice, tips and interesting discussions on the future of PR, social media, and being a self-employed professional.

Those who are unable to participate can surely learn from these discussions (I learn something new every week!). On 10/21/2009, the topics included:

1. What tends to be your primary PR function for clients? Media relations or something else?

2. What is most client hours per week (total) you've taken on successfully?

3. Do you find in-person networking useful? If so, where/what kind of events?
