Most people find themselves drawn to freelancing for control and flexibility.
Successful freelancers:
- Make their own schedules
- Live wherever they want
- Work from wherever they want
- Choose who they work with
- Have plenty of time to themselves
- Earn more money than they did at a job
- ...and love their life.
But it's not easy to do it well.
So many freelancers quickly find themselves in the same vicious cycle of going project to project.
Meanwhile, successful freelancers are living their best lives earning more while working LESS than their unsuccessful counterparts.
Successful freelancers are comfortable marketing themselves, selling projects, and running a business.
And unsuccessful freelancers find themselves strapped for both time and cash.
It doesn't have to be that way!
Freelancing School will help you succeed as a freelancer.
I'm the creator of Freelancing School, founder of Unreal Collective, and host of Creative Elements.
And just like this profile in The Manual says, I want you to be your own boss.
I am obsessed with helping talented, creative people build the lifestyle that they want for themselves.
And I've worked with over 100 creatives and freelancers through my business, Unreal Collective. My clients have had multi-million dollar exits, six-figure crowdfunding campaigns, left their jobs to go full-time freelance, and bootstrapped technology companies.
I've helped my clients earn more, find balance, and create a more controlled lifestyle. You'll read some of their testimonials below.
Over the last few years, I've helped tens of thousands of freelancers through my courses on LinkedIn Learning and Lynda.com.
And I've taken those courses even further with Freelancing School.
With Freelancing School, I've created dozens of new videos, proposal templates, email templates, a custom CRM, and more.
I'll give you those templates and walk through how to use them step-by-step.
And inside each of my courses, I include specific action steps that you can apply right away to create new clients and earn more.
My clients love working with me.
I work with more clients and am able to charge more than I was comfortable asking for before!
The Bundle has brought me significantly closer to my goals. Not only have I learned a ton about marketing, but I’ve gained so much more knowledge about implementing processes and ideas to move forward with my business.
I doubled my client base and I also launched a website...what used to be a hobby became a legitimate side gig.
I've taken everything I know and poured it into these three courses:
- Selling for Freelancers - Proven tactics for selling more work
- Marketing for Freelancers - Strategies to create client demand for you
- Business for Freelancers - Systems and processes to protect your time and effectively manage your money
If you put the time in, these courses will pay for themselves. Not only are they based on the strategies I've built to become a six-figure freelancer, but it's what I've seen work for my clients too.
My advice? Take the leap, believe in yourself, and invest in full access to all three courses.
It's time to start making a living freelancing.
Overall, this course bundle has helped me clarify my message more and, in turn, helped me clarify pricing and what I am offering. I am forever grateful for this course, and I will be sharing a lot more with my friends about it.

I binged through the Marketing for Freelancers course. I was skeptical at first because I've been in Marketing for the past 10 years, but a lot of those lessons scratched my itch that I never deal with at work. Overall A+ — I definitely got my money out of it!

Hey! My name is Jay Clouse.
I'm the founder of Unreal Collective, host of Creative Elements, and freelancing instructor for Linkedin Learning / Lynda.com.
Just a few years into freelancing, (several of which were a struggle) I've broken the coveted 6-figure mark working with clients like Atlassian, Pat Flynn and Smart Passive Income, The Ohio State University, and LinkedIn.
And I could've gotten there much faster with the secrets I share with you inside Freelancing School.
What's included?
You get lifetime access to the course(s) which include video lessons, specific action steps with each lesson, and templates like my CRM, budget spreadsheet, proposal template, email templates, and more.
Will this work for other client-based businesses?
While the courses are geared towards freelancers, the tools and systems will work for any client-based businesses, including agencies, coaching practices, real estate, and more.
What if I’m only taking on clients part time?
Even if you just want to freelance part time, these courses will help you earn more in the time you do commit to taking on clients.
What if I can’t dedicate the time right now?
Purchasing the courses gives you lifetime access. So if you need a few weeks to get started, no problem.
And if you don't feel like you have time to commit to the courses, that is likely an indication that you could benefit from better time management tips inside!
How will this help me feel more confident talking about myself?
We all get scared when someone asks, "What do you do?" but being able to talk about yourself is an essential skill for a freelancer.
The Marketing course will give you a guide for how to talk about yourself in a way that serves you over the long term.
Is this worth the price?
I am confident that working through these courses will lead to both time saved as well as new clients gained.
If you're saving time and finding new clients, it doesn't take long to pay back your investment.
Will this actually work for me?
If you put the time in, this will work for you. I've seen the results in my students as well as in my Unreal Collective clients.
I have more questions!
