The course if very informative, he touches on many types of freelancing jobs. I highly recommend it.

Ce cours répond totalement à mes attentes. Bien que très court, il met à disposition énormément d'informations pour se lancer en tant que freelance. Le seul regret c'est qu'il ne soit pas proposé en version française. Tiens ! Pourquoi le formateur ne m'engage pas comme traducteur freelance ? Je pourrais parfaitement lui traduire ses cours en français !

This course is a great introduction to the freelancing/gig economy for newcomers to the space. I always enjoy Dave Espino's courses and this one is no exception. I've already started making money from home after being unemployed for the last five months (2020) as a result of using some of the methods Dave outlines in this course. I do believe, however, that it could benefit from an update as the last time it was updated was five years ago. I say this because a couple of sites the author refers to heavily are no longer in existence. For example, the Elance and Odesk sites now both redirect to the Upwork.com website. I highly recommend this course to all who are curious and looking to take control of their own situations through working from home. It would definitely merit five stars with a much-needed update from the author.

Very much attractive for a beginner like me since my knowledge was limited with conventional method of learning,market place of working, office and tools of learning. I am sure that the course will surely lead me way to work from home in a disciplined way to earn also from on line market even work from home. Definitely it was beyond my expectation.
By Katie Knotts on 5/26/2018
The course was well-organized, easy to understand, and suggested websites for each potential avenue for finding freelance work. Overall it was a decent overview. However, I'm glad that I was able to purchase this course on sale. For the amount of content, I don't know that spending more than $10 would be worth it. It gave me enough ideas of places to look for freelance work, but did not go enough in-depth to actually teach how to build a portfolio or skill set, network, and land a freelance job. I wound up purchasing additional courses to supplement.

Dave gives you all that is needed to understand what being a freelancer is all about. He debunks the myths about freelance work. He is really thorough in teaching about freelancing and what to expect as a new freelancer.
By Cheryl Marko on 3/16/2016
I really enjoyed this course but he doesnt really help you in getting your profile setup or trying to help with acquiring freelance jobs...If he did that I would definitely give him 5 stars....
By David L on 12/8/2015
Dave is a great teacher and gives an excellent presentation overview of all the current opportunities available to someone looking to establish themselves as a freelancer and where to go. Excellent if your a beginning or do not know all the things you COULD be doing to earn that extra income or a new career path.
