Description

Freelancing done right creates the ultimate in employment and career stability. You can be your own boss. And you can be a well-paid freelancer with full benefits IF you build your freelancing business right. From the ground up.

It doesn't matter whether you are creating or running a copywriting business or a web design business. It doesn't matter if you are a home business or on the road constantly. If you want a successful freelancing career, you must follow core business fundamentals that position you to soar! This course will teach you how.

Being a successful freelancer in today's gig economy isn't just about having slick copywriting for your offer on Fiverr and Upwork (though that isn't a bad start), it is about a long-term positioning and strategy that allows you to build financial as well as intellectual capital.

To some, freelancing means instability and low wages. To you, after taking this course, freelancing will mean high income, career stability, industry influence, and the power to call your own shots.

This course will teach you how to establish a strong foundation for your freelancing career so that you can continually grow, increase fees, attract better customers and clients, and command respect from all you deal with.     

Whether you are an accidental freelancer or one entering the field on purpose, this course will provide you with shortcuts to success. Nothing good happens overnight, but you don't have to go through a multi-year, trial-and-error process before coming up with a system that works for you and your lifestyle.   

Freelancing done poorly can make you end up feeling like an over-tired, stressed, impoverished indentured servant. Freelancing done the right way can give you a lifestyle of creative and professional control coupled with financial freedom.

Such a very useful course that provide useful insights and can put one’s foot in the freelancing career. I would have loved if section 15 is shorter! I’m one of those persons who get distracted with lots of stories.

I would rather comment on this at the end of the course. Having said that, so far it is quite interesting.

I am 40 plus year career student, A media company, A distance learning champion and TJ Walker is one of the most passionate Instructors in the world I think. This course is 5 stars for too many reasons to list in a comment section but if I had to sum it up in a few words "constant improvement through student feedback". Freelance is hard work until you get this course. You learn how to handle some of the pit-falls and gain from TJ's life experiences through memorable stories. He said one time he was giving an in-person lecture at some corporation about dress code as he looked down to notice his socks or shoes didn't match; had me dying laughing it was so funny but you learn what a professional does in situations like those as you become an expert. This course has a smooth flow to it sit back, relax and enjoy.

The lectures are short, focussed and to the point. TJ has a wealth of experience and knowledge which he freely shares, and most importantly he answers students questions and gives further information outside of this platform
Sergio
May 29, 2021
I really love how TJ speaks in his student's language and points out to the stuff that really matters (For instance, where is YOUR customer heading in 20 years? That's something not all freelancers think about, and the small hack of making a video to send it to prospects instead of sending an e-mail is crucial)
Sagar

So far very thoughtful. Looking forward to maintain same interest and decorum till end of the course.

This course is exactly what I was looking for. It is very motivating while at the same time being very realistic. That is, he does not set unrealistic or unobtainable goals. This intructor, TJ, is the best! He asks his students to post comments and responds very quickly. I can't recommend this course highly enough!
Monty
November 4, 2018
This is one of the most comprehensive courses on Udemy that I have come across. Like a good book, I could not stop continuing to the next lecture. TJ does an excellent job on covering various aspects of Public Speaking, and it certainly is a key aspect of a Consultant / Coach / Guru (just don't say "Freelance" - astute tip from TJ) endeavor, or even just as an employee. My only critique is that at the end, I realized it is a valuable course, but was not exactly what I was expecting for one labeled the "Complete Freelancing Course". I'm not disappointed though, as there are plenty of great actionable tips for every student on Udemy, and TJ far exceeds the typical quality that I find here on Udemy. Worthy of six stars on that alone.
