Deliver Real Work

Week 1 | Theme: Applications and Practical Execution

This is the heart of the program. Getting hired is one thing. Delivering work that makes a client want to come back is another. This bounty asks you to complete an actual piece of work in your own field and handle it the way a professional freelancer would, including how you communicate when you deliver it. It connects to the Week 1 sessions on finding opportunities, communication, and professional delivery.

What you need to do

Choose a task that matches your skill. You can pick one from the sample list below, or propose your own if your niche is not covered. The goal is to produce one finished piece of work that you would be comfortable handing to a paying client.

Sample tasks by area:

• Design: a set of three matching social media graphics on a topic of your choice.
• Web and tech: a simple one-page website or landing page.
• Virtual assistance and admin: an organised tracker or spreadsheet for a real task, such as event planning or inventory.
• Video and content: a short edited video, a written article, or a social media post carousel.
• Other niches: propose your own task that shows your skill at a client-ready level.

Along with your finished work, include a short written message to your "client", the way you would write it when delivering the work in real life. This shows you can communicate professionally, not just do the task.

What we are looking for

• Quality of the finished work. Is it something a client would actually pay for?
• Accuracy and attention to detail. Did you follow the brief you set yourself?
• Professional communication. Is your delivery message clear, polite, and confident?
• Completeness. Did you finish the work and meet the deadline?

How to submit

Submit your finished work, either as a file or a link, along with your written delivery message, on the Bounty platform before the deadline. Submissions will be judged fairly within skill areas where possible.

Winners will be announced during the Week 1 physical session.
