Hello Akash, interesting speech you made there ! Where can I find the template for a project proposal you're talking about ? Thanks again for your energy good advice !

[@shumoyoyoyaya]

great talk!

[@matismer]

Very nice talk! Would be grateful to get the template as well :)

[@rosspaterson3282]

Hi Akash, great talk. How would I go about getting this project proposal template 3 year later? Thanks!

[@frodo3556]

Still interested in that template 5 years later, in case anyone still reads this 😅

the line were he said its not failing to work on the side while getting stable. I really needed to hear that in all honesty.

Shooting an e-mail to a speaker or event organizer before the event is a super valuable piece of advice. Doing a bit of social media research (not the creepy kind!) is good too. And having your own social media presence reflect your brand is just as important, because most people that will want to hire you WILL Google your name before bringing you on.

Thank you Akash for the terrific talk. I actually recommend composers to study business at school, rather than music. As you said, having a systematic plan for attracting clients is a crucial point of success for freelancing.

the university wants that we depend on the fucking State!

This is an excellent talk. Not only for the game industry, but freelancing and entrepreneurial as well. Thanks Akash

As someone who just started to build their freelance network, I'm super glad this video came out now. Going to the Global Game Jam in Vancouver next week and I'm super stocked to start using some things you mention in this video :P. Lots lots lots of thanks Akash!

"I'm an extreme extreme extreme introvert" lol. Great talk 👍

[@conralaje2059]

I can't belive when you say that you are an extremely social introvert. Your oratory skills are excellent.

It sounded like somebody literally threw up. If that‘s the case, that‘s...weirdly funny with that timing

[@AkashThakkarAudio]

@@samuelhackson828 Someone did. It was wild.

[@samuelhackson828]

Great talk. Having a contract has been my main worry when a client comes up. I've found some templates online, but I don't want a contract with pages up and down of legalese. I tried to write my own, but eventually ended up just laying down the terms via e-mail with my last client. Does anyone have a good, simple contract template?

[@emanuel_soundtrack]

do it via some platform
