This Freelancing bootcamp gives you the step-by-step guide to go from ZERO EXPERIENCE to becoming a Freelancer and having a profitable freelance home business or online business, and landing clients you never thought possible.

You don’t have to be some established professional to start earning money as a Freelancer. But many people just don’t know where to start and how to stand out.

The biggest challenge used to be “how do I find clients?” but with the growth in platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, Freelancer and others, there are 1,000s of jobs available at any time.

Companies pay Freelancers $2.52 billion (and growing!) via Upwork alone each year.

Imagine being able to work from anywhere in the world, making a consistent monthly income and having the freedom to live your dream life. Take this course and we’ll help you make it happen.

This course is NOT like other Freelancing courses and tutorials you will find online that only cover the basics. Or worse, are taught by someone that isn’t even a successful Freelancer themselves.

This course is focused on efficiency and taking action:

  • Paul is a Top 3% Freelancer on Upwork and gives you the exact steps and templates that he’s tested and used to get high-paying clients. And shows you how you can too.
  • Our focus is to get you earning money as quickly as possible and to set you up for long-term success.
  • You could complete the majority of this course in a weekend and get your first client in the next week or two if you’re serious about making it happen.
  • Freelancing is a competitive space so we will be going beyond the basics and showing you how you can stand out and build a sustainable and profitable business.

Graduates of Zero To Mastery are now working at Google, Tesla, Amazon, Apple, IBM, JP Morgan, Facebook, Shopify + other top tech companies. They are also working as top freelancers getting paid while working remotely around the world. This can be you.

By enrolling today, you’ll also get to join our exclusive live online community classroom to learn alongside thousands of students, alumni, mentors, TAs and Instructors. Most importantly, you will be learning from someone that has actual real-world experience and is a Top 3% Freelancer on Upwork.

This course covers everything Paul has learned so far on his ongoing journey. He’s made the mistakes so you don’t have to. He knows what works and what doesn’t. And he is sharing absolutely everything with you. Step-by-step.

Who Should Take This Course?

  • Anyone looking to create a rewarding and profitable freelancing business
  • Anyone who wants to create a side-hustle or full-time source of income online
  • Anyone looking to leave their 9-to-5 for a life of financial, personal, and professional freedom
  • Anyone who has already tried or is currently freelancing but isn’t having as much success as they’d like

Wait… Is This Course Just For Upwork?

Nope. This course uses Upwork, a freelancing platform with billions in jobs each year, as a recommended starting point and an example to show you how to apply all the tactics and strategies Paul has mastered over the years. But the strategies you learn can be applied to any freelancing platform including Fiverr and Freelancer.

This Freelancing Bootcamp course consists of six sections:

1. Building a ROCKSTAR Freelance Profile

As they say, first impressions are everything. Having a top-notch profile will help you gain attention and build instant credibility with clients. This section will show you exactly how to create a profile that will help you land high-ticket clients.

2. Finding & Closing High-Ticket Clients

The more money you make the better, right? Being able to charge higher amounts and land higher-quality clients will also help you generate more predictable monthly recurring cash flow. Paul shares his secrets to identifying where high-ticket clients are hiding and how to land them.

3. Managing & Scaling Your Freelance Business

We don’t want to help you just get started. We want to help you unlock financial, personal, and professional freedom in your life. This section teaches you how to maintain high-ticket clients & how to scale to the moon!

4. Profitable Freelance Skills

Whether you’re already a Developer, Designer, Data Scientist, Machine Learning Engineer or have none of these skills, we will show you how to identify what in-demand freelance skill is right for you and charge higher rates. This section will even teach you many of the current highest-paying skills like copywriting, graphic design, email marketing, online advertising, SEO and more.

5. Setting Yourself Up For Freelance Success

Freelancing is competitive. This section is going to teach you how to stand out from the competition and build your business faster. You will learn the key principles that are needed to be a highly successful Freelancer.

6. Developing a Millionaire Mindset

Your mindset controls everything. And we’re going to show you how you can shift your thinking to improve your life. This section will lay the foundation for your continual freelance growth, success, and happiness.

Plus Downloadable PDF Cheat Sheets & Templates! To help you reach success even faster, you’ll get the following cheat sheets and templates that Paul has used to make $10,000s+:

  • Job Search Manual: So you can find where the best freelance jobs & clients are hiding.
  • Sample Quote Template: So you can offer your services to clients & land more deals quicker.
  • Upsell & Bundle Cheat Sheet: So you can bundle your skills & earn consistent monthly income.
  • Winning Proposal Formula: So you stand out from the competition & land the best gigs.
  • My Secret Tools & Apps: So you can work smarter and be as productive as possible.
  • Case Study Blueprint: So you can save time and start closing deals more frequently.
  • Managing & Scaling Online Ads: So you can manage and grow profitable online ad campaigns for your clients.

This course is not about making you just watch a bunch of videos so that when you’re done with the course you don’t know what to do other than watch another tutorial… No!

This course will push you and challenge you to go from an absolute beginner with no experience and no clients to someone that can earn income as a Freelancer.
