During the April 20 #solopr Twitter chat, independent PR pros shared valuable insight on social media non-believers, stubborn clients, offering discounts, Twitter best practices, and the stressful world of PR. The following questions helped guide the conversation:

1. How do you handle clients that don't believe their targets use Social Media? for ex, one targeting the luxury traveler?

2. If a client wants to pump out 4 press releases a month, whether it's newsworthy or not, what do you do?

3. As a new #solopr, would you give a big discount to a client who offers to or does actively help you grow your business?

4. Should someone start using a branded account on Twitter before their website is launched, or wait until there is a splash page?

5. PR named the #2 most stressful job: http://bit.ly/eTKXgP (h/t @cubanalaf). Is the #solopr life more or less stressful?
