Hello Kayla.... A very beautiful face look, and equally good way of presenting the facts or video ,and all the artifacts you said in video is a different class . My 2 query Kayla ... hope you would reply 1. If I would take your 1:1 consultation thn would you help us till i get few freelancing clients job or you will guide till few weeks or days ,if i had not done anything till that time ,thn you wont guide us latron ? , 2. If I would get some certification from PMI like CAPM or PMP then would that help me to fetch more clients in my freelancing journey on online marketplace or on remote job websites .?

Thank you for sharing this video. I have a question : could you explain what is the difference between a freelance market place like upwork and a remote work platform. it is unclear to me. thank you :-)

[@kaylamcguire]

@laetitiamespouille2971 Thank you for watching! This is a great question and I'm glad you asked it because I realize that I could have been more clear in the video about the difference here. The freelance marketplaces (like Fiverr and Upwork) typically focus on bidding by the "job" or project as opposed to landing a role with a company. There's often more negotiation when it comes to rates as well. The platform usually takes a cut of your earnings in return for providing the marketplace. Remote work platforms are really just job boards - places where companies advertise for roles (full time, part time, or freelance/contract). An example of a remote job board is FlexJobs. With job boards, the job poster is typically the one who pays to list their job, so the job seeker does not pay for the service. Hope this helps, good luck! Kayla
