Great starter course for Freelancers. Really enjoyed the material and hearing the guest speaker's stories.
Plan a Successful Freelancing Business
The first course in the Building Your Freelancing Career specialization is focused on freelancers looking to define and solidify their philosophy, values and goals within their future business. Coursework will discuss the importance of understanding their competition and market position in a competitive business landscape, help them define what their unique value is, and how that relates to possible business approaches. CalArtians who do not see a "Sponsored by CalArts" notice when enrolling are encouraged to access this course and the specialization by joining through the Coursera for CalArts program linked in the course/specialization FAQ.

Reviewed Sep 22, 2024جيدة .. دونت بعض الملاحظات والطرق والمعلومات اللي تهمني ... اسلوب المدربة واضح وكلماتها كانت جدا سهلة وسمعتها بشكل سهل ... الفيديوهات المطروحة جيدة ولكن توقعاتي لو تكون افضل بكذا بكثير ، اقصد بشكل اوسع ليس فقط بالكلام لان هذي تجاربهم فيجب ان تكون على الاقل ان نشاهد بعض الامثلة لاعمالهم كيف كانت قبل بداية المشروع وكيف ابحصت (طبعا في كل النواحي) ملاحظة: تمنيت بصراحة درس الاسبوع الرابع يكون مبسط بامثلة حتى نستوعب. ايضا دروس الاسبوع الثالث، جزء المنافسة كان معقد صراحة تمنيت يكون اكثر تفصيلا لاني ما استطعت فهمه. - باقي الدروس (الاسبوع الاول والثاني والثالث) كانت جدا مسلية وممتعة جدا ودونت كثير من الملاحظات ... اشكر المدربة وجميع القائمين على الدورة
