On the second Wednesday in May, we held one of our popular combined Twitter chats with the wise social media practitioners of #SMchat (learn how to join us here).  Our two groups of top communication professionals shared thought leadership, tips and advice on the following topics of interest:

1. How do you establish value for your work? Is it based on competitors, skill set or something else? #SMChat #SoloPr H
2. When do you discount your prices, if ever? To get/keep an account, long-term client, high volume, etc. #SMChat #SoloPr
3. Is it ever ok to do work for free? What’s an example of a situation where you’d provide free work? #SMChat #SoloPr
4. On the other hand, what if your value is higher than the market? Do you justify the differences? How? #SMChat #SoloPr
5. What are your best tips and tricks for getting what you're worth? #SMChat #SoloPr

A few of the top tweets are highlighted below (followed by a link to the full transcript):
