Here's why you need to teach this topic...

Becoming a freelancer is the simplest way to earn more money - whether it's full-time or on the side. And when you want to start your own business, freelancing is the easiest way to kick it off. 

It's also your quickest route to the freedom of working for yourself and living the life you dream of. After all, there's a reason the word 'free' is in the title!

To start a freelance business, you:

  • Don't need a lot of expensive equipment (you might not need more than you already have)
  • Can start it while still working for someone else
  • Don't have to manage any employees or team members
  • Can tap into skills you already know
  • Don't need to wait to generate cash

However, while getting started as a freelancer is relatively simple, not everyone will be successful.

That's where YOU come in, since you can teach aspiring freelancers the skills they need to manage their freelance business and attract clients.  

And you won't need to create any of your course content from scratch. We've done that for you with our white label course on how to 'Start Your Own Freelance Business'.

Here's your students' Success Roadmap for ...

Start Your Own Freelance Business Course Roadmap Branded

[Check out the Module Overviews below for more details on what you'll cover in the course.]

Our ready-to-go program is divided into separate modules so it can be quickly broken up to deliver sections over time โ€“ to avoid overwhelm and give time for implementation.

And everything is editable and rebrandable.

So you can go through it yourself and power-up your own skills,

AND, you can use the same materials to help your audience.

That's because when you purchase a license to our customizable, white label courses (sometimes known as PLR), you get the rights to:

  • Edit the content any way you want
  • Put your name and brand on, and
  • Repurpose it into whatever media you want

Then use your new course toโ€ฆ

  • Attract a flood of leads for your other products and services
  • Expand your reputation as an expert with online courses, webinars, workshops, videos, and more
  • Provide resources for your clients to help them get results (and win their lasting devotion)
  • Create a nice new income stream with a paid program (it can even run on autopilot)

You'll be helping your audience set up a freelancing business quickly so they can design a lifestyle they love.

Andโ€ฆ. you'll be adding a major asset to your own business (a course!) that will take it to a whole new level too!

Here's what you'll be teaching...

There are 8 modules in the course, with separate lessons, and final action planning that ensures your students achieve success from your training.

And with the way the materials are structured, you can easily deliver your course as a self-study eBook, membership site resource, or online course. Remember, if you'd like to run the course as a presentation, webinar, or recorded video, you can also get slides and other Instructor Materials in the Blaze package for this course.

Here's a summary of each module's learning outcomes:

Introduction

You'll start out with an overview of the course and what your students will learn, so that everyone is excited to jump in and get going.

Module 1 - Identify Your Niche and Target Audience

Your students may already have an idea of what they will do as a freelancer. But if they donโ€™t have a specific skill in mind, now is the time to brainstorm ideas and make a decision.

  • Lesson 1: Estimate Expenses and Establish Your Rate - In Lesson 1, you'll show your students how to estimate their expenses so they can set their overall rate and make sure they don't undercharge.

  • Lesson 1: Make It Official - In Lesson 1, you'll teach your students the benefits of registering and setting up a bank account for a freelance business so that they can make the right decision for their own business depending on their location. You'll need to customize this to wherever your audience is based.
  • Lesson 2: Take Care of Administration and Infrastructure - In Lesson 2, you'll show how your students can take care of as many admin details as possible from the beginning, so they don't get caught out by any missteps later on.

FAQS About Freelance Businesses

Is this course right for my audience?

If you already have freelancers in your audience or people who wish to become freelancers then this is a good opportunity for you to help them achieve their goals. However, this is also a great time to include freelancers as a new audience, and then upsell them some of your other courses and programs.

 

Why do people become freelancers?

The freedom to choose their clients and work on their own schedule is a huge reason people choose to become freelancers. The chance to focus only on the work they love is also yet another reason people choose freelance work. 

Isn't this just like consulting?

Consulting is different from freelancing in a few ways. For example, freelancers create a proposal for specific services and deliver the work precisely according to the plan. Consultants have more flexibility when it comes to delivering the work and adjust when there's a hiccup. A consultant tends to be more skilled than a freelancer and they're not necessarily providing services themselves. At times, they may be managing freelancers who do the actual work. It's a natural progression for a freelancer to grow into a consulting business - which means more opportunities for you to sell your courses and coaching! 

What if I've never freelanced? Can I still teach this course?

There are many elements to starting a freelance business that you will have experienced when you started your own business. For example, gaining new leads and onboarding clients is something you will have done for your own business. You've developed your own brand and probably have dabbled in doing things on your own website. So you know a lot more than you think!

Also, remember there are other Content Sparks courses that you can invest in, learn from, and then teach aspects of in this one on how to Start a Freelance Business. Plus, you can always bring in a special guest to talk about an aspect of freelancing with your audience. Your accountant might do a Zoom call for your soon-to-be-freelancers. You might have a tax expert come and talk about taxes for your location. There are many experts who would love to reach new audiences, and they're happy to do a call with your community. All you have to do is ask.

 You'll find that you have the skills and the experience to help people freelance their way to freedom when you take a moment to reflect on your journey!

FAQS About Brandable Content

What does my license allow me to do with my Content Sparks content?

Your license gives you the rights to edit or cut up the content into sections, combine it with other content, or transform it to other media formats (such as audio, video, graphics, etc).

You can then share or sell the content with paid customers or prospects who have given you contact details.

The exception is the content meant for promotion, such as tweets, blog posts, and graphics. You can publish those freely anywhere on the web to drive traffic to your site and offers.

What am I NOT allowed to do with my Content Sparks content?

You are not allowed to sell or give away a license  or the editable files to anyone else. That means you can NOT sell or share the Private Label Rights (PLR), Resell Rights, or Master Resell Rights to anyone.

Also, you are not allowed to publish the content freely on the web where anyone can read or download it, including free membership sites or forums. The exception is promotional materials, as mentioned above. This protects the value of your content.

Do I have to rewrite the content?

You have the option to rewrite it if you choose, but it is not necessary. However, we recommend that you rewrite and add to any web-based content that you want found by search engines (like Google), so that it will rank higher in search engines. Adding value to existing content is also important, such as additional images, examples, stories, or lists of resources. By adding your own personal examples and experience, you'll boost your reputation and credibility exponentially.

What should I charge for the content once I've made it into a product?

Pricing your content is always a challenge and it depends on your own market. Some people charge $97 for a webinar series. Others add it to a $27/month paid membership program each month. And some have charged as much as $1997 for a full training program with coaching added.

Take a look at what competitors and similar businesses are charging in your industry. Then find your own middle ground based on how you want to position yourself.

We recommend that you never charge less than $27, depending on the length of the program, and charge more if you're adding live or video elements. Charge even more if you're adding coaching.

If I want to set up a sales funnel, how do I get started?

We have a number of tutorials and videos in our blog, as well as a list of our favorite resources we use in our own business.

I've been a customer/fan ever since

My training and coaching practice is more profitable and less stressful because of Content Sparks.
