> I. How do you calculate a price for what you do?

Work in the industry you want to freelance in first. This way you find out how much clients value your work. Then you know what to charge.

> II. How do you write a proposal?

Work in the industry you want to freelance in first. Learn how the proposal writers do their job and what clients expect to see. Improve on it.

> III. How do you draft a contract?

With a lawyer who has experience in the industry you want to freelance in.

I supported a family freelancing for a long time, about 6 years. It's terrible. If you are unsure of how to do something, you have to wonder what value you are really adding. Learn it first. Then execute it as a freelancer.
