बिना किसी पिछले अनुभव के फ्रीलांसिंग शुरू करना मुझे नामुमकिन लगता था, लेकिन इस कोर्स ने सब कुछ बदल दिया। पहला क्लाइंट कैसे ढूँढें, प्रपोज़ल कैसे लिखें और अपनी सेवा की सही कीमत कैसे तय करें, यह सब बहुत साफ़ तरीके से समझाया गया है। मुझे प्रपोज़ल लिखने वाला हिस्सा सबसे ज़्यादा काम आया क्योंकि पहले मेरी कोई रिप्लाई नहीं आती थी। यहाँ सिखाई बातें लगाने के बाद मुझे मेरा पहला पेड प्रोजेक्ट मिल गया। हर नए फ्रीलांसर को यह ज़रूर देखना चाहिए।

El curso cubre bien lo básico para conseguir el primer proyecto como freelance, desde cómo presentar tu propuesta hasta fijar precios sin subvalorarte. La parte sobre comunicación con clientes potenciales me pareció especialmente útil porque es justo donde más me trababa. Me hubiera gustado un poco más de contenido sobre contratos.

Conseguí mi primer proyecto pagado aplicando lo que enseñan sobre propuestas y cómo fijar precios. Me hubiera gustado un poco más sobre la negociación con clientes difíciles, pero en general es una base excelente para empezar desde cero.

未経験からフリーランスを始めるのに必要なことが全部詰まっていました。提案書の書き方や料金の決め方を一から学べたおかげで、最初の有料案件を獲得できたんです。特にクライアントの探し方の章が実践的で、すぐに行動に移せました。漠然とした不安が自信に変わったのを実感しています。これから独立を考えている人に心からおすすめしたい内容でした。
