ก่อนหน้านี้ผมไม่กล้าตั้งราคางานเลย กลัวแพงไปบ้าง ถูกไปบ้าง พอเรียนเรื่องกลยุทธ์การตั้งราคาในคอร์สนี้ก็เข้าใจวิธีคิดต้นทุนและคุณค่าของงานตัวเองมากขึ้น ส่วนเทมเพลตการเขียนข้อเสนอก็เอาไปปรับใช้ส่งลูกค้าได้ทันที ตอนนี้รับงานฟรีแลนซ์ชิ้นแรกผ่านแพลตฟอร์มเรียบร้อยแล้ว ดีใจมากครับที่ตัดสินใจลงเรียน

Solid intro to writing proposals and setting rates, though I wanted a bit more on finding that first client.

Dzięki kursowi w końcu wiem, jak wycenić swoją pracę i napisać sensowną ofertę, choć rozdział o platformach mógłby być szerszy.

I'd been putting off freelancing for months because pricing myself felt impossible to figure out. This course walks through actual proposal examples and explains why some get ignored while others land the client, which was more useful than I expected. The only thing missing was more detail on which platforms are worth the fees versus which aren't.

Freelance platformlarına nasıl kaydolacağımı ve teklif yazarken nelere dikkat etmem gerektiğini gayet net anlatmış. Fiyatlandırma kısmı da beklediğimden daha kullanışlıydı, artık saatlik ücret belirlerken kafam daha az karışıyor. Tek eksik, daha yeni başlayanlar için birkaç örnek teklif metni eklenebilirmiş.
