If you're just starting out as a freelancer and want to land your first ever client then this is for you...

We're gonna shoot straight with you and tell you something that most so-called "gurus" won't tell you. 

Getting your first client is the hardest part of freelancing. Once you get your first client you just need to follow a set of principles to replicate that success and progressively increase your rates. (Which we'll talk about more in a minute.)

Why is getting your first client the hardest part? Because there is no ONE way to get your first client. There are countless ways.

And depending on your personality type you need to select the RIGHT strategy for YOU. 

Honestly, we've hesitated to teach freelancing to beginners for a long time because of this exact problem. When we were starting out as freelancers we didn't have a path. We didn't have case studies or guidance. We were just shooting from the hip hoping to get lucky...and it worked...eventually. 

But it took a lot longer than it should have. 

So we racked our brains for a solution. How do we teach brand new freelancers with no experience how to get their first client...and then turn that one client into multiple clients that pay you thousands to tens of thousands a month? 

Well, we figured it out on a private jet flight from New York to Vegas. (More on that in just a second.)

The answer was simpler than we originally anticipated:

Case Studies that lay out the exact steps to getting your first client...based on your personality type. 

When we say personality type we're not talking about some complex formula like meyers-briggs or a fancy test. 

It's much simpler than that. 

Do you tend to be more Introverted or Extroverted? 

Based on that answer you can select the method that is PROVEN to work best for you. And we've done all the leg work for you...

Stefan got his first client in a totally different way than Ian. Stefan didn't talk on the phone or meet anyone in person. He just typed some words. To this day Stefan charges people $50,000 to write a sales letter...without picking up the phone or ever meeting the client in person. 

Ian did the opposite. 

He typed some words...and then to closed his first deal over the phone at $3,500 a month plus a percentage of profits. Then he used his natural extroverted personality to connect with people at events and over the phone to close deals worth $25,000 up front and potential $15,000 to $60,000 or more on the backend.

See, what works for one person may not work for someone else...because it doesn't suit their natural personality. 

So here's what we did to solve the problem...

We took Stefan's "first client" method and laid it our for you in excruciating detail. Then we took Ian's "first client" method and walked you through the exact steps. 

But we didn't stop there...

We collected 15 different case studies from newbies from all different walks of life and compiled them to give you the easiest fastest path to your first client that's ever existed. (In our humble, biased, yet correct opinion.) 

However we realized there's an issue with 15 case studies...(17 if you include ours.)

It's overwhelming. It's like drinking from a fire hose...with a straw. 

So we took it one step further to make it as EASY as humanly possible to get your first client in the next 30 days. (Or even by the end of this week if you're committed to your success.) 

See, all 17 case studies are PROVEN to work. If you follow the steps, they WILL work for you.

But where do you start? Which method do you choose? 

Trying to make the perfect decision is what holds people back from starting. 

That's why we wanted to make it so easy a teenager could succeed with these strategies. We wanted you to be able to land your first client even if English isn't your first language. (In fact, we have a case study from a 16 year old girl...and a Nigerian who speaks English as a second language.) 

So what did we do? 

We combed through the case studies to identify the absolute easiest and fastest method for getting your first client. (Using the 80/20 Principle. Which states that 20% of your efforts will yield 80% of your results.)

We identified the ONE method that's best for introverts...and the ONE method that's best for extroverts. 

So once you get into the Freelancer Freedom course (which we'll talk about in-depth shortly) you won't have to wonder where to start or what decision to make...you just pick the ONE method based on your personality. Execute the steps (that are laid out in excruciating detail with examples you can copy)...and you WILL have a client in the next 30 days...or maybe even the next 7 days.

This is exactly why we created...

We feel like one of the big mistakes folks who do trainings on getting clients make…

Is that they are trying to sell freelancers on a one-size-fits-all-approach…

Imagine Levi's Jeans did that. "Our jeans are one-size-fits-all...we hope they fit!"

If that was their business plan they wouldn't be the household name we all know now. They might have sold a handful of jeans and given up. 

And that’s the problem with the freelancing world. If you’re an introvert, there are a few key areas you should focus on that will help you get more clients…

And if you’re an extrovert, same thing…

But they’re different.

We've made it so that you can get started with right strategy for YOU to land your first client in a matter of weeks or even days...or maybe even by the end of today if you're an overachiever. (And yes, that may sound hype-y...but it's 100% possible if you follow the steps we laid out for you.)

Don't take our word for it though...let us demonstrate how well our system works with some undeniable proof...

Which leads us to the jet story we mentioned earlier...

Then spend the next 4.5 hours sharing every single victory, failure, mistake, and success they’ve ever experienced with one another. 

It seems kind of hard to believe…

Because first of all, who really loves freelancing enough to spend nearly five hours talking about it (especially on a private jet)??

And more importantly, how the hell can two freelancers afford to charter a private jet for a cross country flight from New York to Las Vegas? 

Well, we were able to…

Multiple times actually…

But don’t worry…

This isn’t about to turn into some super hype-filled “get rich” sales letter packed with photo-collages of Lambos, PJs, and rented mansions. 

Actually, this letter is all about YOU…

---- 

Hey it’s Stefan Georgi and Ian Stanley…

Two freelancers who, combined, have generated close to a billion dollars in sales for ourselves and our clients...

And in the next few minutes…

We’re going to give you a proven, replicable, and timeless blueprint for making REAL, SIGNIFICANT, and probably LIFE CHANGING money as a freelancer. 

We’re talking about going from $0 to $2k a month in freelancer income…

Or from $2k to $6k…

Possibly even from $6k to $30k a month (or more)...

And while we know that might sound hard to believe...

It’s something we’ve already helped countless people to do…

Like Troy Ericson, who went from averaging about $5k a month when we first worked with him in November of 2019…

To bringing in over $30k in April of 2020…

Or Rob Tidwell, who was desperate to quit his job when we first spoke with him…

And who was able to accomplish that goal within 3 months of receiving this blueprint (plus he’s tripled his income since then too). 

And the best part is...

This blueprint isn’t fancy or even very complicated...

It’s just based off our own personal experiences in the “freelancing game”...

As we went from being paid a few hundred dollars for our services (while making every mistake in the book)...

To commanding the highest fees of anyone in our entire industry - often upwards of $50,000 for a single 15 hour project. 

And the best part is that this blueprint is something that anyone can use...

Without working insane hours…

Sacrificing your health…

Or needing to start some B.S. Agency (more on agencies and why they are a trap a bit later). 

In fact, if you read this letter carefully…

You’ll be shocked to realize just how easy and FUN the world of freelancing really is…

And you’re going to see how mastering the business of freelancing can bring an absurd amount of freedom to your life…

Which is what it’s all about:

F-R-E-E-D-O-M. 

We’re willing to bet that the reason you were first attracted to the world of freelancing wasn’t just to “get rich”...

It was because you were TIRED of the way things were in your life. 

Maybe you had a job that you hated and a boss you couldn’t stand… (or maybe you still have a job you hate with a boss who makes you want to bash your head into your cubicle walls.)

Maybe you simply can’t shake the feeling that there was something “better” for you out there…

Or, heck, maybe you turned to freelancing out of economic necessity…

Perhaps you’re like the numerous folks in Africa, Asia, India, Eastern Europe, and The United States we’ve worked with…

And you were told some B.S. story about why all the best opportunities in life weren’t available for you. 

“You didn’t go to college. You didn’t go to an elite college.”

“You weren’t born in America. You were born here where the government’s corrupt.”

“You weren’t born to a wealthy family. And thank GOD because the only way to get rich is to be dishonest. Well you’re not dishonest, are you? That’s good, but it does mean you’ll have to struggle for the rest of your life so sorry about that” 

Who knows what bullshit the people in your life have told you…

But if you’re here reading this…

Then you’re already a hero in our eyes…

Because you’re one of the very few people who is committed to taking the lies society is trying to force feed you…

And spitting them right back out.

In fact, while you may not have realized it…

The moment you decided to pursue a freelancing career…

It’s like you told society “fuck that,” I’m going to make my own luck…

And now you’re either already working as a freelancer - locking down clients and getting paid to do the kinds of things that you (hopefully) love…

Or you’re about to embark on the journey - and you’re feeling both exhilarated and terrified about what your future holds. 

No matter who you are or where you are…

You’re in the right place…

Because with this freelancing blueprint in your hands…

You’ll quickly discover…

15 proven ways to get your first client without spending a DIME on advertising, memberships, or anything else…

- The simple “Love Letter” email trick that allows you to close pretty much any qualified prospective client (without getting on the phone)…

- The “ROI Escalation Ladder” approach that makes it easy for your clients to say “YES!” to your fees (no matter how high they are).

- How to actually leverage referrals and turn each client into 3 more (about 99% of freelancers get this wrong)…

Plus a whole lot more…

And we’ll give you all of the details in just a second. 

First though, you might be wondering who the hell the two of us actually are…

And why you should be listening to a single word we say. 

So, let’s start there. 

As Ian tells it...

“See, my sophomore year of college I was living in a mobile home in Santa Cruz, CA. My next door neighbor was a 400 pound woman named Ape. She had a mullet and a handful of teeth. 

But it was in this dodgy little mobile home that I got on the path that would change my life forever. 

I was transferring colleges and had a lot of free time and very few friends in the area. So I spent most of my time clicking on shit on the internet. I got into affiliate marketing, MLMs, and even sports betting. (Which is ironically the only one that made me any money.) 

I bought a bunch of courses and barely actually did anything. I would just buy them and return them. 

Then junior year rolled around and I got a marketing coach. He told me to get an email marketing course. I bought it…and I never would’ve thought it would lead me to where I am now. 

I devoured it and actually started writing. Then I got my first paid gig. I was in Brazil for the summer and did a bit of writing for a couple of weeks and paid for my whole trip. 

I was only getting paid about $5 per email…but I was stoked just to get paid to work from my laptop. (I now charge $1500 per email PLUS a performance bonus of $5,000. Things have changed a lot, but you have to start somewhere.) 

After that I decided to write a book on how to pick up women. Yes, that’s true. 

And I will never forget the first sale I ever made. 

I wrote a pre-sell page, my friend bought some bing ads to the page, and then someone bought the product I was promoting. 

I opened my click bank account one afternoon in my little college apartment…and freaked the fuck out. $113.84. And I wasn’t even working!

I literally ran around my apartment screaming and spanking my own ass like a horse jockey. 

You’ll never forget your first sale. 

The next sale I made was during a final exam. I walked out of class and checked my phone.

$113.84. 

I just got paid to take a test.

This was the life I dreamed of.

Then college ended and I started a second degree…in Netflix and Procrastinate. I got my doctorate in a record 6 months. Then I couldn’t take it anymore. 

I was trying to do everything online. 

-Write copy

-Build websites

-SEO

-Paid traffic

-Product creation

-Blah blah blah you get it.

Long story short, I wasn’t making any money. And I noticed a pattern emerging amongst the people in the forums online.

They were all trying to do everything too. And they were broke. (My guess is they still are broke.)

So I decided to stop doing everything and just focus on one skill.

I chose writing. 

So every single day I woke up and hand copied a sales letter for an hour. I didn’t miss a day. 

One month later I got a job working with an internet marketer in the personal finance space. 

We had an email list of over 1 million people and I wrote all the emails. I learned a TON. I was only making about $4,000 to $5,000 a month but to me that was AMAZING.

Towards the end I was working about 10 hours a week. In fact, one month I went to England and Scotland for 30 days and I worked about 10 hours total.

That’s about $500 an hour. Not too bad. 

But that was just the tip of the iceberg. 

I learned the entire process and built about 15 full funnels in one year. 

It’s safe to say that taught me a lot.

Over the past few years I’ve sold over $100,000,000 worth of products online. 

I recently took a water filter company to six figures a month and sold it to the fastest growing startup in Canada after just 10 months.  

It’s weird that one skill…converting people into dollars…has led me to this position. Making multiple 5 figures every month. (Sometimes 6 figures.)

 

But Stefan has only met about half of his clients in person. (Maybe less.) 

 

And Stefan doesn't charge a measly $25k up front like I do…

 

He charges $50k up front. He charges people $50,000 who've never met him or even talked to him on the phone. 

 

That's about as close to magic as anything I've heard about. He has a gift. And he wants to share that gift with you. 

 

Before we get to that, I want to give you a little more background on Stefan…

 

He's sold over $700,000,000 worth of products. You read that right. $700 million. 

 

That's cool. It's impressive. But frankly, there are plenty of copywriters who've made a lot of money for other people (not many who've done as much as Stefan). 

 

 

That's where contract structures come into place. Stefan (and I) are masters at setting up contracts that you make you the maximum money in minimum time... 

 

Plus we’re also masters of marketing and positioning ourselves as the leaders in our industries…

 

Which, in turn, makes it a lot easier to charge the eye-popping fees that we do. 

 

All this comes down to understanding that time spent ‘working” is only one part of the gig. It's just the delivery on the promise you make. The rest of it is what really dictates how much money you make and how much time you work.

 

Think about doctors for a second. The doctors who become truly wealthy aren't the ones working the most hours. They aren't necessarily the best doctors. They're the ones who have the best business practice. 

 

It's the same with freelancing. The richest freelancers aren't necessarily the best. They're the ones who truly understand freelancing at its core. (If you're world class on top of that, you're just gonna make more and more money.) 

 

Well that’s me and Stefan…

 

But neither of us started out that way…

 

Instead, early on, we both struggled mightily. 

 

I already told you about my origin story…

 

But Stefan’s isn’t really all that different. 

 

He first entered the world of freelancing back in 2012…

 

And during this time he took on virtually every gig you can imagine: 

 

Copywriting, web content, SEO, web design, WordPress, PR, and Market Research just to list a few...

 

All in a desperate attempt to make ends meet. 

 

It was a constant struggle…

 

And as Stefan puts it: 

“Life as a freelancer can be HARD. I ended up in this total feast or famine cycle, where one day I’d get two new clients and feel on top of the world…

Then I’d hit a two-week drought – usually at the worst time possible…

And be scared shitless that I wouldn’t be able to pay the rent.

From 2012 into 2013 I must have sold my Xbox to Game Stop at least 4 times…

I’d sell it when times were rough…

Buy a new one when things seemed to be looking up…

Then hit another drought and have to sell it again.

I pawned musical instruments too…

I took random content and blogging jobs on Upwork (Elance at the time)…

And really, I had to hustle my butt off just to make ends meet.”

See, it’s easy to look at Stefan today and think he always crushed it for clients...

But that’s simply not the case. 

Early on Stefan made every mistake in the book:

Not charging enough…

Getting stiffed on payments...

Being treated like crap...

Becoming stuck with “vampire clients” who kept sucking away his time and his finances…

And living his life without any work-life balance. 

As Stefan recalls: 

“I still remember one of the first vacations I took after I’d begun freelancing. My girlfriend Laura and I went to Alcupolco, Mexico with her dad and grandma. 

We stayed at this amazing resort that her grandma had paid for…

There were white sand beaches and crystal clear waters…

Our room was this lavish suite…

And I didn’t enjoy ANY of it.

I was so stressed out about having enough money to pay our rent when we got back, that I spent the whole ‘vacation’ inside the room working…

And only made it to the beach for one single hour out of five whole days we were there.”

Later that fall, Stefan would spend his entire birthday pulling an all-nighter to finish a client’s project…

And the stories like these aren’t the exception, they were completely normal. 

So what changed?

How did Stefan go from a struggling freelancer who was constantly anxious about where the money would come from to pay his bills…

To an expert in his niche, someone who charges more for a single project than the average American makes in an entire year? 

Well, just like me…

Stefan eventually figured it out…

But it took a lot of time and a TON of suffering to make it happen…

And that brings us back to the reason we’re writing to you today. 

You see, when the two of us got together on that fateful jet flight from New York to Las Vegas, we started talking…

And even though both of us now run and own multiple successful businesses…

There was one single topic that dominated 90% of our conversation during that flight:

We thought about how, if we had only known what we know now…

It would have saved us so much time, hardship, and heartache. 

We could have avoided COUNTLESS hours spent on “nowhere” projects…

Felt SIGNIFICANTLY less stressed about money…

And gotten to where we are today in a fraction of the time. 

And realizing all of this...

We agreed that one of the highest impact activities we could do…

Would be to take every single lesson, strategy, and trick we’d learned during our journey as freelancers…

And put them into a comprehensive, easy-to-follow blueprint…

Something that we could then share with other freelancers out there who were still struggling…

And that would help them to drastically increase their income and decrease their headaches. 

When it comes down to it…

We wanted to show folks how to work smarter, instead of harder, as a freelancer…

That way, they start getting the RIGHT clients and begin earning what they’re truly worth…

Without having to work more hours, start an agency, or go out and learn any new skills.

 

For the 20 lucky freelancers who were in attendance…

 

It was as if a lightbulb was flashing above their brains…

 

Because suddenly, they knew they’d never struggle to get high paying clients again.

So up until a few months ago, we weren’t sure if the recordings from this event would ever see the light of day. 

But then, something changed…

And that something rhymes with BO-MID and has a number after it that’s one less than twenty :)

Suddenly there were massive layoffs happening…

People stuck at home, desperate to learn new skills…

The entire world changed almost overnight…

And as all of this was going on…

We realized that people needed a comprehensive freelancing blueprint more than ever…

Because you when you really do understand the art of freelancing…

When you can charge $5k…$15k…$50k for a single job…

Things like shutdowns, recessions, and everything else…

Become a whole lot less scary. 

So we went to work…

We went through the event recordings and polished them up…

Then got transcripts made, PDFs, closed captions, and more. 

By the time we were done, we were feeling pretty good about the quality of the content…

(Remember, this is the actionable stuff that others gladly paid $2,000 to learn back in November of 2019)...

But we also knew that something was missing:  

We needed to take things a step-further, and create a module that explicitly shows folks how to get new clients. 

Why?

That’s the #1 question new freelancers were asking Stefan…

And we realized that unless we showed people how to quickly land their first high quality clients…

Then all of the more advanced stuff we’d taught in Vegas wouldn’t be all that useful.

So Stefan sent out an email to his list, asking the freelancers to share case studies of how they got their first client…

And offering to pay for the top 3-5 case studies he received. 

He was expecting to get maybe 10 or 15 responses…

Instead, he got almost 150 case studies…

And because so many of them were SO DAMN GOOD…

He said “screw it” and decided to add FIFTEEN case studies to the Freelancer Freedom Course.

 

Because here’s the thing: 

Not everyone is going to have success with the same strategy...

And there’s no “one-size-fits-all” approach to getting clients. 

So rather than forcing people to conform to one methodology…

We said, let’s show people the step-by-step blueprint that fifteen successful freelancers are using RIGHT now to get clients…

That way folks can choose for themselves which strategies and methods they want to use. 

Pretty cool, right? 

And once we had the 15 in-depth case studies…

Plus the spruced up recordings of the Freelancer Freedom event we did back in November…

That’s when we were ready to bring this program to the public.

So without further ado…

Let us be the first to introduce you to: 

Freelancer Freedom is a course designed to get you high paying clients that you LOVE working with. Whether you’re a seasoned freelancer or looking to get your first ever client, we’ve got you covered. 

 

It doesn’t matter if you’re a copywriter, email marketer, coach, agency owner, web designer, graphic designer, etc...the principles and strategies work across the board. 

We covered every aspect of freelancing from getting clients, to charging more, to which clients to say no to, and a whole lot more. 

Module 1 is one of the coolest parts of this product is the case studies section.

We got case studies from 15 different freelancers on how they got their first clients and grew from there.

I’ll shoot straight with you - the most important client you’ll ever get is your first one. But there’s no ONE way to get your first client. That’s why we made these case studies for you.

All 15 strategies work - but you want to pick the strategies that resonate most with your personality and skillset. (And we've done the leg work for you so you can make your decision on which strategy to follow within 60 seconds.) 

If you’re looking to land your first ever 4-figure client ($1,000+) then this is the section you’re gonna fall in love with right away.

Here’s exactly what you’ll get in Module 1:

Video 1: Welcome to the course

Video 2: Mindset with Ian and Stefan

If you’re just starting out it’s the difference between making zero dollars...and landing your first 4-figure client.

Do NOT skip this video...no matter how long you’ve been a freelancer. This section alone is worth $1,000 in our opinion. It’s that important.

Bonus 2: Social posting to get more clients (without spending a dime)

Bonus 3: Stefan's time management system. 

Look, the recordings alone are worth way more than the price you'll pay. People paid $2,000 to be in the room.

If you're ready to land your first client in the next 30 days then this is for you. 

What would it be worth to you to get your first client that pays you just $1,000 for a bit of work you do in your spare time? What if they paid you that every month? Or you got just ONE $1,000 client a month? 

If I said "give me $1,000 today and give you $1,000 a month for the rest of your life" what would you say? What would you do? 

My guess is you would fumble over yourself as fast as possible to hand over the cash...or your credit card. $1,000 for $12,000 a year for the rest of your life? That's the biggest no-brainer on earth. 

But let's be real...you probably don't just want an extra $1,000 a month... 

You want freedom. You want the type of money that can change your life...and the life of your family. 

Maybe that's $5,000 a month to you. Or $10,000 a month or more. 

So what if I said "Give me $1,000 today and I'll give you $1,000 this month. Then the next month I'll teach you how to turn that $1,000 a month into $5,000 a month...$10,000 a month...or even $30,000 a month." 

Would you trade $1,000 today for $60,000 a year? Or $120,000 a year? Or $360,000 a year? 

I really hope so...

And that's what we're offering to you in the Freelancer Freedom Course. 

We can't guarantee your success. Only you can do that. But we can give you the exact steps to make this your future reality. 

We can't do the work for you. But if you do the work...it'll work for you.
