Description

I started freelancing in 2011. Through trial and error, with a lot of hard work, I increased my freelance earnings 7-fold within five years.

You can do even better than this!

In this course, I share all the knowledge I've accumulated over the years. Follow along and you can both emulate my successes and learn from my mistakes. This course will help you jump-start your freelance career, increase your earnings faster, and make the right sort of long-term plans.

The first-level goal is to get more work. The second-level goal is for that work to be better paid. The third-level goal is to diversify your earnings in the long term, open doors for yourself, and enjoy the freedom of freelancing to pursue your interests.

The course is focused on the Upwork platform, even though most of the principles apply to all freelance work. One of the first lessons will explain why Upwork is still the best choice for up-and-coming freelancers.

After that, we will go through the whole process: creating an impressive profile, selecting the right projects, writing great applications, communicating with clients, and managing your career in the long-term.

Who this course is for:

  • Those considering freelancing
  • Beginner freelancers
  • Freelancers who are struggling to earn consistently or increase their income

I started freelancing in 2011. Since then, I have worked on all types of projects: small and large, solo and in teams, as a coder and as a leader. I have hired other freelancers. I have learned the ins and outs of the freelance world along the way.

I have also built several side projects of my own. One of these turned into a business that I ran for a few years and, ultimately, sold.

A year ago, I started writing about my experience on Medium. Now, I am here to help you succeed as a freelancer.
