Breaking into freelancing can feel overwhelming. Endless YouTube tutorials, ghosted proposals, and unclear next steps can make even the most skilled developers, designers, and writers feel stuck.

We built the Tublian Freelance Internship to change that.

Our six-week mentorship-driven program is designed to help you land your first freelance client on platforms like LinkedIn and Upwork, with the support of industry experts and an AI-powered BizDev Agent that does the heavy lifting for finding gigs and submitting proposals.

Why We Started This Program

At Tublian, we believe that a single individual can build what once took a team using a personalized AI workforce. Freelancing is one of the most powerful paths to independence, income, and creative freedom. But too many talented people never get started, not because they lack skill, but because they lack support.

So we created this internship to bridge that gap. Not a course, not a bootcamp, but a sprint to your first client, backed by mentorship and AI automation. Whether you're a developer, writer, marketer, or designer, our goal is simple: help you land your first freelance gig.

What the Internship Looks Like

It’s a six-week, hands-on experience designed to move you from “I want to freelance” to “I just signed my first contract.” Here's how it works:

Week 1: Welcome & Setup

Get onboarded, meet your mentors and peers in a private community, and set up your BizDev Agent—your personal AI assistant for lead generation and proposals.

Week 2: Create a Winning Profile

Build a profile on Upwork or LinkedIn that stands out. With expert feedback, you’ll learn what clients look for—and how to show up with credibility.

Week 3: Build a Credible Portfolio

No past clients? No problem. We’ll help you create portfolio pieces that showcase your value, like blog posts, design work, or simple app builds.

Weeks 4 & 5: Learn How to Bid Like a Pro

You’ll write and submit at least five proposals, with help from your BizDev Agent. Learn how to position yourself, what to say, and how to improve based on results.

Week 6: Master Client Communication & Delivery

Learn how to talk to clients, handle feedback, and deliver high-quality work that earns great reviews and repeat business.

What Makes This Internship Different?

1-on-1 Mentorship: You're matched with experienced freelancers who give you personalized feedback and guidance based on your background and goals.

AI-Powered BizDev Agent: While you're learning the ropes, your AI assistant is helping you search for leads and draft winning proposals, so you don’t start from scratch.

Private Community: Join a dedicated Discord channel where you can connect with mentors, peers, and past interns for ongoing support.

Live Sessions: Weekly workshops led by top freelancers help you learn in real time and stay accountable.

What You'll Walk Away With

By the end of the six weeks, you’ll have:

  • A professional Upwork/LinkedIn profile

  • A freelancer-ready portfolio

  • At least five real proposals have been sent

  • Access to a supportive community

  • Your first paid freelance gig

  • 6 months of BizDev Agent access to keep momentum going

Who It's For

This internship is perfect for:

  • Aspiring freelancers who want to start but don’t know how

  • Career switchers looking to go independent

  • Students or early-career professionals wanting paid remote work

  • Skilled creatives (writers, designers, developers, marketers, etc.) who want more control over their work and income

Applications Are Open - Limited Spots

The next cohort kicks off on June 16th, 2025. Spots are limited, so we can keep the mentorship personalized.

If you’ve been waiting for the right time to freelance, this is it.
