We think that let's do some work for others for free and in that way we will learn something new. The thought is correct but the problem is, instead of doing for others you can do it for yourself if you want to learn. The problem is people take free work as granted and thus they always want to downplay you in the future.

So if you are good at something, then never do it for free. Take some money so that people don't have other thoughts. I have seen numerous times where my friends and families are asking me to create website for free and they expect me to do it for free always. I had done it earlier, and thus it keeps getting fee more pr one last time and doesn't stop. So I have started saying no or expect monetary benefits in return. In thus way the amount of work I am getting has reduced as well as I have some extra time for myself to work on.
And it's not only that, people want free advice too which is somewhat wrong. A person have spent his time and energy to learn something on their own. And thus what they want in return is just a fee. Now even if you are thinking they will do it free, some does also, but as a consumer we should repay them back in one way or the other. Sometimes they don't ask it directly so you have to find a way. For example, when you take a bike from someone, best way to repay is to fuel up the bike. This way you are helping the person.
So I a two way street, if you are a person who is giving service for free, try doing it for one or two times and not more than that. If you are taking a free service, try to repay them by some way or the other.
