Practical advice, wish it went deeper on pricing.
Semplice e diretto, perfetto per iniziare.
Niche chunne aur profile banane wale hisse bahut kaam ke the, bas thoda aur pricing strategy pe focus hota to perfect hota.
Le module sur la niche m'a vraiment aidé à arrêter de viser tout le monde et à préciser mon offre. La partie sur le profil est solide, même si j'aurais aimé plus d'exemples concrets de messages de prospection. Globalement un bon point de départ pour décrocher son premier client.
I went into this course completely lost about how to position myself as a freelancer, and it genuinely changed my approach. The niche-selection module forced me to stop trying to appeal to everyone and pick something I could actually be known for. Building the profile step by step was the most useful part since I could see exactly what to change on my existing one. The lessons on approaching potential clients gave me the confidence to actually send that first message instead of overthinking it. Two weeks after finishing I landed my first paying gig, and I credit a lot of that to how the profile section was taught.
Practical advice on niching down and pitching that helped me land my first client with zero experience.
القسم الخاص باختيار مجال محدد بدل التشتت كان مفيدًا جدًا وساعدني أفهم كيف أبني ملفي الشخصي بشكل أفضل. الشرح واضح ومنظم، لكن كنت أتمنى أمثلة أكثر عن كيفية كتابة أول رسالة لعميل محتمل. عمومًا بداية جيدة لأي شخص يريد الدخول في مجال العمل الحر.
O curso explica bem como montar um perfil que chama atenção, só senti falta de mais exemplos reais de propostas enviadas.
Solid breakdown of how to pick a niche and build a profile that actually gets noticed, though the pitching section felt a bit rushed.
Duidelijke stappen om je eerste klant te vinden.
The section on narrowing down a niche instead of trying to do everything was exactly what I needed to finally land my first client.
Mình đăng ký khóa này khi vẫn còn mơ hồ về việc chọn ngách nào để làm freelance. Phần hướng dẫn xác định thị trường ngách rất thực tế, không nói chung chung như nhiều nơi khác. Cách xây dựng hồ sơ để trông chuyên nghiệp cũng được trình bày từng bước dễ hiểu, mình áp dụng ngay và chỉnh sửa lại profile của mình. Nhờ vậy mà chỉ hai tuần sau khi học xong mình đã nhận được khách đầu tiên, dù là một dự án nhỏ. Cách giảng viên trình bày khá gần gũi, không bị khô khan như học lý thuyết suông.
Yung leksyon sa paggawa ng maganda at makatotohanang profile talaga ang nagbukas ng pinto para sa unang client ko.
Después de meses paralizada sin saber cómo conseguir mi primer cliente como freelance, este curso me dio el empujón que necesitaba. La parte de elegir un nicho rentable y no intentar abarcarlo todo me ahorró muchísima frustración. Aprendí a montar un perfil que de verdad llama la atención y a estructurar una propuesta que no suene desesperada. El módulo sobre cómo presentar tu trabajo aun sin experiencia previa fue clave para mí. Mandé mi primera propuesta siguiendo la plantilla y conseguí respuesta en dos días. Lo recomiendo a cualquiera que esté empezando de cero.
ニッチの選び方が具体的で助かった。
Comecei esse curso sem nenhuma ideia de como me vender como freelancer e terminei com um plano claro. A parte sobre escolher um nicho foi um divisor de águas porque eu estava tentando abraçar tudo ao mesmo tempo. As dicas para montar o perfil são bem práticas, dá pra aplicar no mesmo dia. Consegui fechar meu primeiro cliente pequeno duas semanas depois de terminar, e boa parte foi graças ao jeito que reformulei minha apresentação.
