Description
Freelancing is the future. Imagine having complete career independence where you set your own pay and work on your own terms. In the modern gig economy everybody either already is or soon could be a freelancer. The only question is, will you create a true freelancing business that supports your financial, professional and personal goals? Or will you slip into a reactive, low-paying, hand-to-mouth freelancing ghetto that many succumb to?
There are as many types of freelancing businesses as there are types of cars. Are you going to settle for the 20 year old jalopy or the brand new Maserati?
This course will teach you how to establish a strong foundation for your freelancing career so that you can continually grow, increase fees, attract better customers and clients, and command respect from all you deal with.
Whether you are an accidental freelancer or one entering the field on purpose, this course will provide you with shortcuts to success. Nothing good happens overnight, but you don't have to go through a multi-year, trial-and-error process before coming up with a system that works for you and your lifestyle.
Freelancing done poorly can make you end up feeling like an over-tired, stressed, impoverished indentured servant. Freelancing done the right way can give you a lifestyle of creative and professional control coupled with financial freedom.

TJ is such a great teacher, and engaging to listen to. I now feel much more prepared to make money consulting rather than being employed and will be recommending the course to any of my friends and family who is in the process of making the same transition!

What an awesome course this turned out to be! O am really glad I enrolled in one of the best courses on freelancing by probably the best instructor out there.
Thank you very much Mr. Walker. You definitely deserve a 5-star for this one.

Tips are really good for a consultant (freelancer). Idea like identifying a niche area and focus and expand that area is one of the best, which segregate one among others in freelancing business

Excellent course from TJ Walker absolutely enjoying it. As consultant I have learned valuable marketing lessons after watching only a few chapters I see a lot more to come looking forward to it I will add to this review at a later stage but I can guarantee this is brilliant.

Thank you. I like this course very much. The experience and tips shared are very useful. It gave me an insight what I should pay attention to if I want to be a freelancer. It would be better if it can talk about how to identify the personal niche with market demand. Thanks.

I love TJ's courses so much. His style of teaching and presenting is so engaging and makes it so much easier to learn.
I've watched a lot of teachers online and you know when you've found one who just clicks with you and meets your needs. He is also really responsive with questions as I asked for some advice and he got on a Skype call me with. Perfect.

I really like this course and will probably benefit from it for the first years of my freelancing career. TJ tackles topics that I haven't found elsewhere in the web so far. Thank you!

TJ does an amazing job sharing his wisdom, gained from years of experience. He speaks about something he does rather than speaking about something vague that's not related to him. I think that makes all the difference. And unlike many other courses, this one has repeat value.

Really interesting and useful course. I got many valuable tips. I also like the presenting style - straight to the point. I would recommend it to anyone, who is planning to become a freelancer but also for those who already are. Thank you TJ Walker for another amazing course!

Wow. As usual, TJ delivers. One thing that I have always loved about TJ is he tells you like it is, succinctly and professionally. You need to have this information if you are going to have any chance of succeeding at becoming a freelancer.
This just has to be the #1 course in Freelancing on Udemy. If it isn't, it definitely will be. TJ's presentation is so professional and he is easy to understand.
This course is very comprehensive and it has the added benefit of someone who is very knowledgeable on the subject.
Fantastic job, TJ, and looking forward to finishing the course.

This course has a lot of quality content. There are some interesting points that I had never thought of before, such as how widespread the modern gig economy has become.
