ACADEMY
Freelance Academy
Being able to build things does not keep the work coming. Alongside production skills at a professional standard, we cover the selling, the rate negotiation and the retainer work that keep a freelance career going. The programme does not end at graduation. It ends when you are working.
Sound familiar?
You went to a school and it never turned into work.
You can build things now, but selling is a mystery.
You win projects, but your rate never goes up and the hours just vanish.
You are teaching yourself, but you cannot tell if you are doing it right.
Building it is only the start.
Making something and making a living from it are two different skills. Wandemy teaches to the standard of the client work we actually take on, then covers how to write a proposal, how to price and how to turn one job into a retainer. Meet our standard and we send you our own projects.
Wandemy: what makes it work
FEATURE 01
A curriculum set at professional standard
Not classroom exercises. The production and operations skills that real client work demands.
FEATURE 02
A system for winning work
How to write a proposal, how to set a rate, and what to say when the answer is no.
FEATURE 03
We keep working together after graduation
Meet the standard and we bring you on as a production partner. Learning and earning stay connected.
