ABOUT THE COURSE

This course will show you exactly how to start freelancing - and to be successful at it! After successfully starting a freelance career, I always thought that I wish someone had told me exactly how to start. It was tough to do on my own! This course is meant to give you a blue print for kickstarting a freelance career or just a freelance side-job to make some extra money on the side.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR

I've been freelancing since college. In the beginning, it was really hard to find work, to know how much to charge, to get the next job. After a while, I realized that to be successful wasn't difficult - I just needed to be committed, positive, and have a good plan of action. These are things that I will teach you in the course.
