Are you ready to launch your first freelance side hustle working entirely online without getting overwhelmed or confused? Become a freelancer in a month or less!

There are some major mistakes I see newbies make when launching their freelance business…

1. They get overwhelmed and give up because it feels like there’s too much to do.
2. They invest unnecessary $$$ into things they don’t need (hello, website/domain/hosting!)
3. They create a bad pitch and then get frustrated when it doesn’t convert or when they’re not pitching enough.
4. They don’t have a clear enough offer to get a client excited.
5. They speed through or ignore creating work samples and can’t figure out why clients don’t choose them.
6. They think Upwork or some other job board is the “cure all” for getting clients without really learning the strategies of how to use it (or even knowing if Upwork will work for you!)
7. They end up giving work away for free or discounted prices and get stuck in that cycle.
8. They think that commenting on Facebook group threads is a marketing strategy that will magically build their business.

Imagine being able to create your pitch, work sample, and marketing strategy to win your first freelance client in less than a month without making any of the mistakes above. (Hint: you’ll put yourself about 85% of new freelancers by accomplishing this…)

Your Guide on The Freelance Roadmap

Meet Laura, your Sherpa on this journey. In 2012, I was seriously burning out as a middle school teacher clocking 14-hour days on the regular. I knew I could never make it 30 years as a traditional educator… so I resigned. But I’d spent the previous five years of my life working towards a career in education, so what now?

I Googled “how to become a freelance writer” and the rest is history. Well, not quite history. I hit a lot of roadblocks along the way, and I want to help you avoid them. I figured out how to start my freelance business through trial and error, but you don’t need to waste years trying to guess and making costly mistakes when you could make making cash money instead.

Since 2012, I’ve taught over 10,000 freelancers how to start and scale their companies. From VAs to UX designers to public relations experts to book marketers to developers to writers and beyond, I’ve watched the freelance market explode with opportunity.

How Do I Know This is For Me?

Being a freelancer is not the right fit for everyone. Here’s how to know if freelancing is a good fit for you:

• You were always the person in the group project at school who actually did the work.
• Your day job is slowly draining away your soul because of a toxic work environment, boring tasks, or too little money and you want to regain control of your financial future.
• You’ve heard the stories about successful freelancers working online and are committed to really trying this.
• You want to own your own schedule and you can trust yourself to meet deadlines.
• You don’t want to kick yourself next year for not starting sooner.
• You like helping other people.
• There’s a creative project that calls your attention, like graphic design, administrative work, or writing that you’d like to use to uplevel your professional skills and your income.
• You need freedom and flexibility when it comes to your work.
• You take ownership for the work you put in when it comes to looking at results.

Here’s why you need to get inside The Freelance Roadmap™ today…

• Freelancing is one of the fastest growing sections of the workforce and economy.
• Companies are more open to working with freelancers than ever before.
• Freelancing income is nearly $1 trillion across all industries
• One in five freelancers doing it full time is making $100k+ in their business

You’re finally ready to start the business of your dreams working from home (or anywhere you want with wifi!) on projects that make your excited. You’re tired of waiting for someone else to give you permission to uplevel- you’re ready to own that yourself.

Learn More From Laura’s Clients

"I landed another client on Upwork! This is my second long-term client. I'm hoping to earn a consistent income through a few long-term clients, and then be able to pick up some fun projects along the way.

I'm still in disbelief that this is my job right now ... and hopefully for a long time to come."

-Kelsey N.

"Well I did it...I just gave notice at my job and I am going to be working remotely/freelancing full time!!!

The truth is I thought my goal was to just make extra money by freelancing. However, as I've progressed through this course and taken on more gigs/side jobs I've realized that I actually want freedom and the flexibility to work wherever and whenever I want. Money is great, but my time is even more valuable. I also happened to find a long-term freelance job that will make up for my full-time income in less hours, giving me the time to take on more gigs if I choose.

I have two weeks until I am out on my own and all of my instincts are telling me this is the right decision. Thank you (x100) for the guidance you have provided in this course - I feel optimistic about my career for the first time in a long time!"
