Alex says offering to work for free only works with two conditions: pick someone one or two steps ahead of you, not miles ahead, and give without expecting anything back rather than framing it as a trade, like just editing someone's podcast unasked.

0:00I probably get 50 a day if people saying like can I work for free for you. Number one is that if you're going to try and do this approach, you want to go to somebody who's one or two steps ahead of you. You feel like hey Elon, can I get your coffee for you? Like Elon doesn't need you to get his coffee. There's this issue I that I see amongst poor people that think that their time is worth something and it's not. There's no shortage of low skilled labor. Number two is you want to make them an offer that's so good that they feel stupid saying [music] no. Let's not pretend here. Like my life is not better off because you're in it now. Your life is going to be significantly better

0:28>> [music] >> because I'm in it. I get this in my DMs all the time. Hey, I'd like to do this in exchange for working, you know, alongside you. No. The whole principle of giving first isn't an offer to give first. It is giving first period without expectation of something back. What does Chris need? Well, Chris probably wants somebody to edit and cut his podcast. You don't offer to do that. You just do it and then send it to him. And then you keep doing it and I'll bet you that if you do that for 100 days straight, Chris be like well damn, this kid is like really really hungry. He took the initiative. He figured out what I wanted.
