This course is for anyone that wants to start finding work online as a freelancer - and especially for people that want to work on the Upwork platform.
Led by Jennah and Derrick Mitchell, who have taught over 100,000 students on Udemy and have over 6100 5-star reviews, this course will walk you through the entire freelancing on Upwork process, including:
Best practices when setting up your profile on Upwork to stand out from the competition
How to add portfolio samples to your profile, and what way is most effective
How to automate your top job searches to save you hours and keep your schedule full of work
How to quickly weed out projects that are not a good fit for you
Jennah's top secrets to save time creating job-winning proposals
The best methods to keep your clients happy and coming back for more
The main goal of this course is to teach anyone, even a complete beginner, how to setup a complete WordPress website quickly and easily. Then, we'll dive a little deeper and I'll show you exactly how I setup my sites for clients using custom themes and zero coding. I'll even show you how to create a custom portfolio website of your own.
This course serves as a bird's-eye-view of Design Theory, including industry standards for alignment, contrast, and color in print and web design. Universities and colleges spend entire semesters teaching this single topic, and the goal of this course is NOT to condense every design theory out there into a quick course - that would be impossible. The goal of this course IS, however, to provide students with a solid baseline so that they can begin designing with confidence, and so that they have the tools and resources necessary to continue learning the theories and principles of graphic design on into the future. It's a blitz!
In this course, I will walk you through exactly how I package up a logo when I'm finished with the project so that the client has everything they need to put their brand new logo to use. These techniques can be used with any type of artwork you want to create and export from Adobe Illustrator, but for the purpose of this course, we are just focusing on logos.
One of the biggest Vault membership perks is early access to all future courses and content added to the library. You get access at no additional charge, so over time your membership will pay for itself many, many times over!
