The Freelancer's Launch Kit

Free to watch. Starting adds a personal copy to My Learning with progress tracking and a curated-path certificate on completion.
About this path
The set-up-shop path for a first-year freelancer, pulled from six courses: what the job actually is, copy that explains what you do, professional client communication in English, enough SEO to sell the service honestly, self-management systems that survive deadline crunches, and personal-finance discipline for irregular income. (Ready to hunt for work? The Zero to First Client path is the client-acquisition sprint.)
What you'll learn
- Use ChatGPT as a proposal-writing, admin-clearing assistant
- Offer social media management as a concrete starter service
- Write copy that sells your services clearly
- Communicate with clients in polished professional English
- Get discovered through search
