This is such a hidden gem - yes for finding out what clients are seeking, from their lens, but also from someone that doesn't know exactually what they want to do - it's a great way to "try" out a a project and see, for me, if that is the path I want to go down.

Love that perspective. Low-commitment test projects help both sides figure out if the working relationship clicks before diving deeper.

This is brilliant actully. The shift from 'practice projects' to using actual job briefs as a blueprint is such a gamechanger. I tried building random samples last year and crickets, but when I started matching real demand the conversion jumped noticeably. The point about stealing the clients languagefrom the brief itself is underrated tbh.

Client language is the cheat code. They literally tell you what they want to hear!
