Yes, there are a number of ways to effectively entice or pressure people into providing their labor or services for free. One option is to offer an experience in exchange for the work. People often respond positively to experiences and will be more likely to participate when something intrinsically rewarding is on offer. Additionally, creating a sense of urgency can help motivate people into offering their services. Telling prospective participants that an opportunity is only available for a limited time can be an effective way to encourage immediate response and participation. It's also important to remember that while asking something of someone may put you in a position of power, being gracious about any contributions individuals make can create long lasting bonds that could benefit your company down the road as well as boost morale amongst current workers who may otherwise feel taken advantage of.

Some effective methods to entice or pressure people into providing their labor or services for free include offering flexible scheduling, volunteer projects with desirable results, bonuses that depend on the outcome, job references or referrals to potential clients, networking opportunities with key stakeholders and partners in the industry and social recognition for their efforts. These rewards can all serve as strong motivators for people to provide their services. Additionally you could offer a discount on your product or service if the person signs up through the freelancer/volunteer.
