  SEE WHAT STUDENTS ARE SAYING... 

  A good overview of freelancing 

  "I have been doing freelance jobs for some years now, as a way to earn some extra cash. I took this course because I am seriously considering working full time as a freelancer. I got a lot of good ideas from the lectures and I look forward to putting them into practice. There are many good tips in this course on how to build up a successful freelance career. I work a lot on oDesk, so the particular advice referring to this site was very useful for me. I think this course is useful for anyone who is considering working as a freelancer, it gives an accurate overview of what to expect and the steps you need to do in order to achieve success." Lisa Court 

  "Explains this line of work: the pros, the cons and the grey area" 

  "I found this course essential to my daily work. The fact that as a college student, at times a wrench is tossed in our path, necessary life adjustments take in effect. Writing is a powerful skill to have, as long as it is good writing. This course introduces the student to an alternative non self-deprecating form of y income that can work around student schedules and can serve as that extra change needed when living from paycheck to paycheck. The curriculum commences by diving into the world of freelancing. It explains the pros and cons of this type of job or gig. Most places just will tell you “how great it is” and leave you to experience the cons which can be a migraine at times. Knowing the odds and ends always helps with making a well informed decision. This prepares you with the business aspect, the foundation. Many people have ideas and need that setoff wings to fly. This serves as the fine tuning and the extra push to start. I was very glad to see that the author took it a couple steps further. Instead of script form, [he] included personal experience, which humanizes the course, thus creating a passive mood where, students can say “Ok, I have been there!” or “I can relate to what he is saying.” I find, personally, that with examples that apply to real time or can be related to, tend to enhance the learning. Rather than listen and take notes to look over at a later time, it calls upon every single student to ponder on how it applies and forces an internal self-analysis. This leads to strategizing and implementing changes and goals in motion. There is so much information conveyed in this course and presented in a manner that anyone can comprehend. I enjoyed it and hope others do, because it is a true gem. Other explanations are one sided, while this one tells it how it is." Mrs C Mills

This course covered a lot of information in a well-presented manner. Many ideas on how to get started as a freelance writer were included as well as many potential mistakes and solutions to these. Other good information provided included how much to charge, how to source jobs and communication with the client. A very comprehensive course. I think anyone who does this course would feel much more confident approaching freelance work after doing this course.

This course is very informative, but there are so many spelling, formatting, and grammar errors that, as a proofreader, I was surprised. I am assuming students are helping here and there, but please use Grammerly!

I found the information not as useful as I was hoping as it didn't really teach how to begin as a writer. The course is aimed more at those who are already writing and need guidance as to how to approach getting business. It is also somewhat outdated. Overall, a useful guide to people who already write but not for someone wanting to learn to begin as a writer.

Brian is an excellent instructor. He offers his own experiences of examples of life as a freelancer. Plus he provides many links and downloadables into this course. The course is straightforward to those considering a career (or side job) as a freelance writer. It's a relatively quick course to get through too. I highly recommend it for people who are considering a move into freelance writing.

I had high hopes for this course but by the end of it I was lamenting missing the 30 day refund window. If I could I would get my money back. First issue is that a lot of the "lectures" are in text form. I HATE when instructors do this. Why? Because there are TONS of ebooks out there for under $5 with GREAT content on any topic...I buy Udemy courses because I learn best with audio. That and I'm a writer and my eyes are damn tired by the end of the day...reading MORE is the last thing I want to do. The next big issue is that there is a lot of fluff, for example content on why its a good idea to save money, and finding motivation or courage. If you want clear, concise, actionable content this is not the best course. Another big issue is that the course is NOT up to date. There was a good amount of material on O-desk which doesn't even exist anymore. O-desk is now Upwork and the lecture should have been updated by now. Not a great impression. I also was bothered by the way he talked, the speech tends to be drawn out, lots of "ums", redundant, and dotted in errors. And after all the chatter things he was explained weren't explained. Yeah, I'm picky, but there are some great instructors doing much better work. On the upside, there is some useful content about different platforms and some useful tips, but I've also seen this stuff covered better elsewhere. Another posticve is there are a lot of PDF notes for reference. This is useful and I do like when instructors include PDF notes (just not entire lectures as substitutes). I've watched a ton of courses and I know what a good course looks and sounds like...and this misses the mark. There is a lot of room for improvement which could turn a mediocre course into a great one. Hope that helps.

This course was one of the most informative and well planned out courses I've taken. Not only will you know the different type of writing jobs out there but you will also receive valuable information on where to start. Great for beginners and experience writer. High quality videos and very engaging material. If you are thinking of going into freelance, whether part time or full time, this is the course for you!

I have been a freelance writer for about a year and this course taught me things that I didn't know before. Learning about how to talk with clients, how to submit a proposal,and what websites to use was very helpful.

A great tutorial, covers everything related to freelancing. People think that it's easy to work at home, but they don't know the other side of the story. This tutorial will definitely make them realize the ups and downs in the life of a freelancer. Being a freelance writer on odesk, I know the struggle.
