The Freelance Masterclass: For Creatives (Udemy.com)

I wish there was an even amount of information given for freelance writing as there was for graphic design, but I understand why there wasn’t. I found the VO not engaging throughout the entire course. Seeing the face behind the voice maybe once at the beginning of every section might have made it more engaging for me, That aside, I did enjoy the course and found the information and resources to be very helpful.

This course offers a well-rounded introduction to freelancing, especially for those who are still building their experience and trying to understand how the industry works. It covers a wide range of topics, from branding and identifying a target audience to communicating with clients and thinking about your work more strategically. What I appreciated most is that it doesn’t focus on a specific software or tool. Instead, it emphasizes principles that can be adapted to different creative fields. The included downloads and resources are also helpful for getting started and organizing your approach. As someone who has done some freelance work in a more sporadic way and is still developing a consistent process, I found the course informative and practical. It helped clarify areas that I hadn’t fully thought through before, especially around positioning and structure. That said, I do think the course could go further in areas like client acquisition and managing client relationships in more depth. Also, while the content is still very useful, it hasn’t been updated since 2022, which slightly impacts its relevance in a fast-changing space. Overall, I’d rate this course 4 out of 5. It provides a strong foundation and a lot of useful insights, especially for those actively trying to build or improve their freelancing approach.

Lindsay Marsh's courses are worth every dime. I have bought a few of her courses to supplement a Graphic Design certificate program that I am taking and extremely pleased with the purchases. She is a gifted instructor. She speaks clearly and at a good pace. I highly recommend her courses.

Dear Lindsay! I can't thank you enough. You are my best online American graphic design instructor indeed. I actually found it informative as well as easy to follow. Also, I will take your adivce regarding the freelance career and prepare myself for this journey properly. I have a good skill of design, and I am confident enough to help the business owners, startups and big companies to pursue their dreams. I believe that the more you learn and apply, the better you will become in Graphic Design. Thank you very much, and I will contact you once I finish my student work in the your other courses on Udemy. Have a lovely day ! Aliah Alzharany, KSA, Riyadh.

It was a very good course that I took advantage of in various places. The amount of information and presentation was fine. I'm just a little skeptical about the necessity of this course, it can also be given in addition to a general education such as graphic design, photography, software, etc. Of course, the reason why I think so may be that I received the graphic design education of the same educator. The transfer of knowledge and experience in that course was also very good.

This is one of the best course on how to start as a freelancer. The instructor speaks slowly and teaches every little part in details. Not only she teaches about freelancing but she also helps you learn how to build up your brand up from level zero. I loved the course very much. I would like everyone to take up this course and start learning. Love and Regards Pritam Pal

Wonderful course that teaches you how to establish your brand and all the big and small details you need to know when it comes to freelancing. I've read plenty of blogs and watched tons of YouTube on freelancing, but this course has been at great at giving an actual step-by-step process on how to start and how to keep the ball rolling. I got my first freelancing gig before I even finished the course, and I owe it to everything I learned in this course!

Lindsay is a great professional and I am so thankful to have gotten to discover her. This course is super well built and explained, it goes deep into all the aspects you need to know to start up a freelancing business giving so many precious tips that only experience would have revealed. Super recommended, thank you so much Lindsay!

Loved this course! I learnt so much. As soon as I realised that the universe was pushing me into a direction of freelancing, I felt overwhelmed as I have never had the full blown experience of setting up contracts, setting up you rates properly etc. With this course I feel a lot more comfortable and confident in stepping into the world of freelance design. Thank you Lindsay for sharing your process and journey with everyone! I will definitely recommend this course for anyone who is considering a career in freelance graphic design.

This course was a benefit to learning a new skill. I really enjoyed the course and the perspective given. I purchased this course along with several others, base upon a previous course that the instructor has. Her experience tells a story as a guide, while her style is down-to-earth and easy to follow. It is important to understand your style of learning and the type of instructors you gravitate towards. Lindsay does it for me.
