Putting together a small portfolio the way this course suggested got me my first paying client within a few weeks.
Conseguí mi primer proyecto pagado.
Curso bem direto ao ponto sobre como escrever para a web e montar um portfólio, só senti falta de mais exemplos de precificação.
Deze cursus legt heel praktisch uit hoe je webteksten schrijft die mensen echt lezen in plaats van scannen en wegklikken. Het portfolio-onderdeel hielp me om mijn eerste voorbeelden goed te presenteren aan klanten. Het enige minpuntje is dat het stuk over prijzen vragen vrij kort was.
Ce cours explique très bien comment écrire pour le web de façon claire et engageante, sans tourner autour du pot. J'ai adoré la partie sur la construction d'un portfolio, ça m'a vraiment aidée à structurer mes premiers échantillons. Une semaine après avoir terminé, j'ai décroché ma première mission rémunérée.
Empecé este curso sin ninguna experiencia escribiendo para clientes y ahora tengo un portafolio del que estoy realmente orgullosa. Me gustó mucho cómo desglosan la escritura web en pasos concretos, desde encontrar el ángulo correcto hasta pulir el texto final. La parte sobre cómo presentar tu trabajo a posibles clientes fue justo lo que me faltaba para animarme a enviar propuestas. Usé uno de los ejercicios como muestra de portafolio y con eso conseguí mi primer proyecto pagado. Lo recomendaría a cualquiera que quiera empezar a escribir contenido web desde cero.
Comecei esse curso sem saber nada sobre redação para web e o jeito como eles explicam cada tipo de texto, do blog à página de vendas, fez tudo fazer sentido rapidinho. As aulas práticas para montar o portfólio foram essenciais porque eu não tinha ideia de como mostrar meu trabalho pra alguém. Peguei um dos exercícios finais, ajustei um pouco e usei como amostra numa proposta. Duas semanas depois fechei meu primeiro projeto pago, algo que parecia impossível antes do curso. Recomendo bastante pra quem está começando do zero como eu estava.
Décroché mon premier contrat payant.
初めての有料案件が取れました。
I went in with zero writing experience and came out with an actual portfolio piece I'm proud of. The breakdown of how to write for different web formats — landing pages, blog posts, product pages — was clear and never felt repetitive. Used one of the assignments to pitch a client and got my first paid gig within a month.
Nhờ phần hướng dẫn xây portfolio mà mình đã nhận được dự án viết bài có trả phí đầu tiên!
Nauczyłam się pisać teksty, które naprawdę przyciągają uwagę, i zbudowałam portfolio, dzięki któremu zdobyłam pierwsze zlecenie.
Ótimo para montar o portfólio.
첫 유료 프로젝트를 따냈어요.
This course walks you through writing web content that actually holds attention, not just filling pages with words. I liked how it tied everything back to building a portfolio piece you can show clients right away. Landed a small freelance gig two weeks after finishing the final project.
Fiz esse curso sem nenhuma experiência em escrever para a web e simplesmente amei como explicam a diferença entre escrever para blog, página de vendas e redes sociais. As aulas sobre como montar um portfólio do zero foram as que mais me ajudaram na prática. Usei os exercícios finais como amostra e consegui fechar meu primeiro projeto pago logo depois de terminar. A única coisa é que senti falta de mais exemplos sobre como precificar o trabalho no começo. Ainda assim, valeu muito a pena pelo que aprendi sobre estrutura de texto e clareza.
Kursus ini benar-benar membantu dari nol sampai bisa bikin portofolio yang layak ditunjukkan ke klien. Cara mereka menjelaskan gaya penulisan untuk halaman web beda dari sekadar menulis blog biasa, jadi lebih kebayang prakteknya. Dua minggu setelah selesai, saya dapat proyek berbayar pertama dari salah satu contoh tulisan yang saya buat di kursus ini.
포트폴리오 만드는 법과 첫 고객 찾는 팁이 실용적이었어요, 제안서 작성 부분이 조금 더 길었으면 좋았겠지만 만족합니다.
Great intro to writing web content and putting together a portfolio, though the section on pricing your first project could go deeper.
