How to freelance like a pro

34% of North American workers now consider themselves freelancers, and their work adds $715 billion to the economy every year. While our ranks are growing, most freelancers (and the people who hire them) still treat freelancing as a commodity. Commoditized labor is usually a race to the bottom, rewarding the cheapest, fastest, and most available workers. But there’s another way to operate. Enter this course, and you’ll learn how to ensure that your projects are successful, profitable, and enjoyable from start to finish. We’ll cover such topics as how to craft winning proposals, how to establish clear onboarding processes and payment schedules, how to work productively to increase earnings—and much more.
