The Freelance Starter Pack is an educational series consisting of 10 sessions, designed for all young people who want to break into the world of freelancing but don’t know where to start. Through this series, participants will have the opportunity to walk through the most critical steps of the freelance journey—from identifying personal skills and creating an offer to finding their first client, professional communication, invoicing, and understanding the basic obligations that come with self-employment. The goal is to provide practical guidance, real-world examples, and clear support for everyone looking to turn their knowledge into a job opportunity.
Freelance Starter Pack #1: From Zero to the First Customer
The first session of the Freelancer Starter Pack is dedicated to the theme “From Zero to the First Customer”—how to start from scratch and land your very first client. In this session, we will discuss the initial steps of freelancing: how to recognize your skills, how to define what you can offer, where to look for your first opportunities, and how to build trust with potential clients. This session is intended for anyone who wants to start freelancing but doesn’t have experience yet or is unsure how to take that first step.
Freelance Starter Pack #2: Taxes and rights of Freelancers in Macedonia
The second session of the Freelance Starter Pack focuses on taxes and rights for freelancers in Macedonia—one of the most important yet often most confusing topics for anyone earning or planning to earn through freelance work. This session will cover basic tax obligations for freelancers, how to report income, what you need to know when working with local vs. foreign clients, and why it is vital to set up your finances correctly from the very beginning. The goal is for participants to gain a clear and understandable picture of how to freelance in a responsible, informed, and professional manner.
