Write proposals and price your work
A proposal shows you understand the problem, what you will do, by when and for how much. Clear scope prevents arguments later.
Learning material, not financial, legal or tax advice, and no income is promised. Results depend on your work. Use practice data only. Check the rules where you live on contracts, tax and personal data before you sell anything.
