the complete beginner’s guide to freelancing in 2024

I am a long-time business owner who has hired many freelancers. Unless you're a relative of the client, I suggest... You don't want to quote an hourly rate to reduce risk, as it's meaningless to them since they don't know how much time a job will take to do and they're not watching you work. They are referring to the pro, which is you to tell them. Instead, you should quote a flat rate and start with smaller jobs that are semi-cookie cutter and not custom "whatever the client wants" jobs. Get examples of their goal or provide examples of what they will get.

Of all the the "experts" I see giving only tid bits of information, and asking you to buy their course, you come across so different. Honest, and without the ego, just giving great advice and value, I really appreciate your approach to these vids! Subbed.👍

Freelancing is like building a bridge, one plank at a time. Each project is a step forward, and the view from the top is worth every challenge along the way.

I know I’m a bit late to this but the “huge add add” mix up made me burst out laughing. Love the little bloopers you leave in, feels so down to earth and approachable.

I absolutely loved how you made this whole video like video game gamification journey lol. Making work "feel fun" lol but everything you talked about is spot on.

you're so creative, i just "landed" on your profile and i'm amazed of the way you present your ideas ✨

This came at the perfect time. My freelance copywriting business went on hiatus last December because of the holidays and I'm slowly inching back into normalcy. Hoping I hit the $10K milestone this year (and soon!) ❤
