About this course

Most freelancers undercharge because they guess at their hours instead of measuring them. This course walks you through picking a time tracker (Toggl Track, Clockify, Harvest), logging work without friction, converting tracked time into professional invoices, and running a monthly profitability audit. By the end you will know exactly which clients pay you well per hour and which quietly drain your week.
