Ce qui m'a surpris dans ce cours, c'est l'équilibre entre les conseils d'écriture et la partie business, qu'on trouve rarement réunis. Les leçons sur la négociation des tarifs sont particulièrement utiles pour quelqu'un qui débute et n'ose pas demander le juste prix. J'ai refait mon portfolio en suivant leur méthode et je me sens enfin légitime pour démarcher des clients.

Grâce à ce cours j'ai enfin osé fixer mes tarifs et décrocher mes premiers clients en rédaction.
Je pensais savoir écrire mais je n'avais aucune idée de comment transformer ça en activité rémunérée. Le cours explique très bien comment fixer ses tarifs sans se sous-estimer, ce qui était exactement mon problème. J'ai particulièrement aimé la partie sur la prospection, avec des exemples de messages concrets à adapter.
Я давно хотела уйти во фриланс как копирайтер, но не понимала, как вообще назначать цену за работу. В курсе очень доступно объяснили, как считать ставку и вести переговоры с клиентами. Единственное, раздел про поиск первых заказчиков показался мне немного поверхностным.
文章を書くこと自体は好きでしたが、それを仕事にする方法がまったくわからず何年も自己流でやっていました。このコースでは料金の決め方から具体的に教えてくれて、自分がいかに安く受けていたかに気づかされました。クライアントへの営業メールの書き方も実例つきで説明されていて、そのまま使えるレベルでした。講座を終えてすぐに三件送ってみたところ、一件から返信があり初めての本格的な案件につながりました。文章力とビジネスの両方をきちんと扱っている点が他とは違うと感じました。
क्लाइंट ढूंढने और सही रेट तय करने के तरीके इतने साफ तरीके से समझाए गए हैं कि मैंने कोर्स खत्म होते ही अपनी पहली प्रोफाइल बना ली।
料金設定の考え方が具体的でとても参考になりましたが、ポートフォリオ作りの部分はもう少し詳しく知りたかったです。
أخيرًا تعلمت كيف أحدد أسعاري
Наконец разобралась, как правильно оценивать свою работу и вести переговоры о ставке с клиентами.
I've been writing on the side for years but never treated it like an actual business, and this course changed that completely. The breakdown of how to set your rates was eye opening, I was undercharging by a wide margin without realizing it. What stood out most was how the lessons combine actual writing craft with the business side, most courses only do one or the other. I finished the pitching module and sent out three cold emails the same afternoon using the framework they teach. Two weeks later I landed my first paying client at a rate I would never have asked for before.
Llevaba tiempo escribiendo por mi cuenta sin animarme a cobrar por ello, y este curso me dio el empujón que necesitaba. La parte sobre cómo fijar tarifas según el tipo de cliente es clarísima y muy aplicable. Terminé enviando mi primera propuesta formal la misma semana que acabé el módulo.
Explican bien cómo fijar tarifas
