FINALLY...
HOW TO MAKE
LOTS OF MONEY
WITHOUT A 9 TO 5 JOB!
DISCOVER THE STEP-BY-STEP PROVEN FREELANCING STRATEGIES THAT ALLOWED
THIS YOUNG KID TO MAKE A FULL-TIME INCOME WITHIN 1 MONTH, WITHOUT ANY
PRIOR FREELANCING EXPERIENCE. HE DID THIS WITHOUT _ANY_ HELP FOR
ANYONE ELSE, WITHOUT A PORTFOLIO OR ANY REFERRALS, AND _WITHOUT_
SPENDING A SINGLE CENT ON ADVERTISING HIMSELF. HE MADE THIS INCOME
ONLINE, WITHOUT EVEN HAVING HIS OWN WEBSITE!
Thursday, 10:11 a.m.
Hey there.
I hope you are not reading this unless you want to quit your job and
make your living freelancing, and here's why: My name is Craig
Staufenberg and I have just written and published a ground-breaking
new book that has already started changing lives for the better.
AND I AM SO CONVINCED THIS BOOK WILL CREATE A DRAMATIC AND ALMOST
_IMMEDIATE_ NEW INCOME STREAM FOR YOU, I WOULD LIKE YOU TO EXAMINE IT
ABSOLUTELY RISK-FREE, FOR 6 MONTHS.
The book is called " _THE FORTUNATE FREELANCER: FREEING YOUR LIFE AND
GAINING CONTROL OF YOUR INCOME WITH ONLINE FREELANCING IN 6 MONTHS OR
LESS\" _And it shares, in very frank terms, the exact strategies I
used to start earning a full-time living within just one month of
starting freelancing, despite having no freelance experience, and
without spending a single cent on advertising myself. I didn't even
have my own website.
As I say in the introduction, this book is for people who have come
to the conclusion that the 9-5 rat race just isn't for you. Sure it
works for some people. People who prefer to be told what to do, have
someone else define their schedule and their experience, who like to
ask if it's alright that they go to lunch when they're hungry. People
like that. I'm not like that. And neither are you. If you NEED your
freedom, then you will _love _this book. AND, IT WILL MAKE YOU A WHOLE
NEW FULL-TIME INCOME!
See, I've been able to quit the 9-5 grind and make plenty of money
for myself through freelancing but it wasn't that long ago that I was
completely broke and hopeless.
I WASN'T JUST COMPLETELY BROKE AND HOPELESS; I WAS DESPERATE ABOUT MY
LIFE AND READY TO GIVE UP ON EVER HAVING A DECENT JOB.
My financial life just kept getting worse and worse. I was having a
hard time coming up with the rent for my less-than-perfect apartment.
Not to mention all the other bills that I had to deal with- things
like student loans, credit card debt, insurance, and oh yeah, food. I
wasn't able to get a good enough job to get me out of this hole, and
some days it felt like there was this massive weight holding me down.
But then, I stumbled on something that gave me the strength and
freedom to throw away those old beliefs and that old life, and when I
did that I eliminated the stress and frustration that came along with
it all.
I went from barely getting by and living paycheck to paycheck... to
making a full-time income that developed financial abundance in my
life. And I earned every single penny of this money entirely from
online freelancing, without _any_ help from anyone. Without referals
and without even having a portfolio of work to show potential clients
what I could do!
And freelancing without anyone's help, of course, keeps you free and
independent, so you don't have to answer to anyone other than
yourself.
I was able to move to a house where I didn't have to listen to the
neighbors screaming at each other every day, and where I didn't have
to bus an hour to get to the basic conviences of life.
I stopped working in a 'formal' office and now I work in a great
coffee shop filled with happy people that's a ten minute walk from my
house. In the morning these days I get to see how the leaves are
changing color along the my street, and I get to see the neighborhood
kids playing when I walk home when I'm done with work for the day.
When I want to spend the day doing something else, then I just go
ahead and do it. When I want to sleep late, I just stay in bed for as
long as I want. If I want to stop working early, I stop working early.
If I want to grab lunch or a drink or an early dinner with a friend, I
do just that.
BUT HERE'S THE BEST PART...
I do _what_ I want... I work, and don't work with _who_ I want... and
I only work on those projects I _enjoy _working on. I come and go as I
please. I always knew this was what I wanted from my work, _this_ was
my goal.
Yeah, sure, I wanted to make a lot more money than I was making. But
if you're anything like me, than the real goal is to be your own boss,
to have control over your own life. You don't want to have to be told
what to do by someone who you were placed under- someone you may or
may not respect and trust. I know that I HATE being told what to do
and when to do it.
I'm not some spoiled kid. I've been working since I was fourteen.
I've worked hard my whole life for everything that I've ever had, and
that's how I've pretty much done everything in my life- on my own.
In fact, I didn't really even have a mentor or _anyone_ to look up to
for guidance except from the authors I read.
My point is, I'm in this for the freedom. The money's great- don't
get me wrong. But money buys you FREEDOM and _that_ means more to me,
than anything.
Freedom lets me travel whenever I want to. Some afternoons, I stop
working early and go on adventures with friends who are similarly
free. And sometimes, I will just sit back for a day and do "nothing"
just because that's what I feel like for that day. Especially those
days when there are just so many other exciting or interesting things
to do, or when I just feel like I need a day off from work. _That's_
what freedom buys.
I'm not a millionaire, but man, if I live the rest of my life like
this and _never_ become obscenely wealthy, you won't hear a single
complaint out of me any time soon. I know it sounds unbelievable, but
there are plenty of times I make enough money in one week to not have
to work the rest of the month. And some months, that's exactly what I
choose to do.
Things just keep getting better and better, and I look forward to
seeing where the road leads next for the first time in my life.
ISN'T IT FUNNY HOW MANY PEOPLE DON'T EVEN BELIEVE THAT IS POSSIBLE? I
DIDN'T BEFORE, BUT I DO NOW.
But things weren't _always_ this way- not by a long-shot. In fact,
there were plenty of times when things looked really bleak and
miserable.
Like many people with a lot of ambition and a healthy distaste for
arbitrary authority, I didn't exactly plug right in to the system and
do well for myself.
Imagine my surprise when I realized that no one wanted to give a good
job to a 20 year old recent college grad with a giant chip on his
shoulder!
And this continued on and on. I didn't stay long at any job because
no job was worth staying at for long. I did this for years, and the
more I jumped from crappy job to crappy job the more it seemed like it
would be impossible for me to move forward. I wasn't even thinking
about being able to find a job that I would actually _like_, I was
just thinking about getting a job that would pay more than minimum
wage. Neither were showing up for me.
I'm telling you all this because while most people will be quick to
tell you, It's not _what_ you know, it's _who_ you know, the greatest
lesson I've learned, is that this is _completely_ wrong.
THE TRUTH IS, WHEN IT COMES TO FREELANCING,
_YOU DON'T NEED SOME AMAZING NETWORK IF YOU JUST KNOW WHAT YOU ARE
DOING_.
As you'll see in just a moment.
Within a few years I was contemplating filing bankruptcy and I felt
so burned out and depressed from being run through the 9-5 grind that
I was _convinced_ I was going to have a total nervous breakdown.
But then, after years of nothing but bad breaks, and making one wrong
decision after another... a few things started to go my way and my
life slowly began turning around. For the first time ever, I began
seeing that life just didn't have to be so hard.
My personal life _finally_ started coming together. Instead of
constantly having to handle things in "survival mode" and running
around like a chicken with it's head cut off... I had an opportunity
to sit back and think, with a _clear mind_, about what I _really_
wanted to do to earn my keep.
And what I wanted to do was work for myself with skills that I
enjoyed and wanted to further develop, that would give me the freedom
to work where and when I wanted. And I wanted to be the absolute best
I could be at this, and I wanted to share my lessons with other
people.
In the beginning, it wasn't exactly easy, but it seemed like this was
a perfect fit for me, my skill sets and personality. I had done sales
jobs before, I had done customer service jobs before, and I had spent
a lot of time reading about business and marketing and psychology and
all that. Originally, I thought about these things just to try and get
better jobs and to do better at the crappy 9-5s that I was able to
hustle my way into.
BUT IT TURNED OUT THAT ALL THAT READING SET ME UP TO BE A GREAT
FREELANCER!
I got into freelancing randomly. I was buying some freelance work for
a personal project that I was developing and realized that I was at
least as good as all these people who were bidding on my project. I
realized that freelancing was something that I could probably do, so I
decided to give it a shot.
So I created a profile on a freelance site and started to bid on
jobs. I started to generate interest and even got some clients. And
more and more clients seemed to just be powerfully attracted to me. At
first they were attracted to my energy and enthusiasm. Then by the
results of my work and the great feedback I was receiving. I started
to experiment with new ways to succeed as a freelancer and to get
more, better paying jobs. I developed some excellent strategic advice
that worked like a charm for anyone who tried it out.
Then after I had already created a full-time income from my work I
began to get referrals from my best clients. Unsurprisingly, the
people they referred me to ended up looking like they were great
clients too.
But that's just not how I operate. See, I know THAT YOU CAN ALWAYS DO
BETTER IN THIS BUSINESS, YOU CAN ALWAYS MAKE MORE MONEY FOR WHAT YOU
ARE DOING, BUT YOU WON'T ADVANCE IF YOU JUST BOUNCE AROUND THE SAME
LEVEL OF CLIENTS. I wasn't interested in getting to in bed with
anyone, and I wasn't interested in being "the guy" to go to for just
one circle of friends who all operated at the same level. Maybe it's
because I was stuck for so long in one place, but I refused to stay in
one place with one level of client for too long.
The way I see it, in traditional employment you are held down. You
are put in a place and you better stay in that place. The only way to
grow is to fit into a different little box that the company might
offer you if you're lucky. Being penned in like that just builds this
fire, this burning desire within you to want to burst out and do
better and better and to become bigger and bigger than their system
will ever let you become!
Is that something you've ever felt before?
I bet you have.
And so, unlike lots of people for "who you know" short-cuts, I
decided to differentiate myself another way. I wanted to build a solid
and ever growing reputation on my own, and I wanted to direct what my
business meant and what it provided for me.
So while a lot of other Freelancing Gurus out there recommend you
always seek out referrals, I decided to follow a different path
focused on the following principles.
1. PROVIDE GREAT CONTENT. As I explain in "The Fortunate Freelancer"
you have to be able to deliver high quality work. The highest quality
work, and you want to keep getting better and better at what you are
offering. I offer a lot of strategies and shortcus that really help
when you are developing your freelance career from scratch, but none
of them are going to get you anywhere if you aren't able to deliver
great content and be a professional person to work with.
It doesn't matter what niche or skill you are marketing with your
freelance work- whether you are a write, a graphic designer or a tax
consultant. You need to focus on providing the best product that you
possibly can. I _consistently_ offer top-quality work and service, no
matter which of my niches I am working in and no matter what the
project asks. In fact, in my manual I explain how to continuously
improve and pick up new skills and talents, and how to deepdn the
skills and talents you already have. I also explain the hidden things
that contribute to getting jobs that have nothing to do with the
quality of your work. You need to maximize these aspects as well if
you are going to consistenly get work and how to present your good
work to ensure it gets recognized for the quality that it is.
SO HOW DOES THIS APPROACH WORK?
IT WORKS GREAT! If you follow my suggestions and provide high quality
work, than you should be able to get at least 25% of the jobs that you
apply for. There are plenty of freelancers out there who get less than
10% of the work that they aim for, and there are some who can't get an
award rate over 5%. Above and beyond that, you will get plenty of
clients who will want to work with you over and over again- if you
want to continue to work with them.
Now, I'm not saying that this is "easy." If you think earning a
full-time income freelancing is as easy as tripping over your own
feet, then you' re dreaming. HOWEVER, THERE _IS_ A SYSTEMATIC WAY OF
DOING THIS, AND I SPELL THIS OUT FOR YOU IN VERY EASY TERMS, INSIDE_
\"THE FORTUNATE FREELANCER.\"_
I'VE MADE IT ALL AS OBVIOUS, AS SIMPLE AND AS BRUTALLY EFFECTIVE AS
POSSIBLE! I LAID IT ALL OUT FOR YOU IN STEP BY STEP DIRECTIONS THAT
TEACH YOU HOW TO START A GREAT FREELANCE CAREER WITHOUT _ANY_
PROBLEMS! YOU WON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT WHAT TO DO NEXT, BECAUSE I
SPELL IT ALL OUT FOR YOU.
2. I PROVIDE VALUE ON TOP OF VALUE. Here's what I mean. I am always
looking to improve. I am always evaluating my work and identifying
what satisfies clients the most and how to provide them more of those
things. I am always providing more value. I am always learning how to
complete work faster and faster, and I am always looking for ways to
improve my customer service. I am always looking to improve my sales
process to make the decision to hire me easier for my clients. I work
extra hard to make sure that hiring me is the best decision any
buyerer can make!
Trust me, I've hired providers before and it is always dissapointing
when you hire someone who makes you a promise and then they don' t
deliver on it. It feels terrible to invest your hard-earned money into
something, only to find out you've been set up and taken advantage of.
Sometimes providers will even have the gall to say that they would
have done a better job if they were paid more- despite the fact that
they set their own price and make their promises based on that price!
I hate that, and so do my clients who hire me because I NEVER do
that. I approach things differently. I approach my whole freelance
career with the mindset of "Unless I over deliver on what I'm doing
for you right NOW, you might not give me good feedback, you might not
want to work with me again, you might not have anything good to say
about me, and my whole career and livelihood might fall apart!"
You see, people aren't stupid. Buyers are STARVING for fresh new
ideas, good work and great service. And when you give these things to
them and keep giving them better with each new client, than you will
never have problems getting clients. You will be shocked at how many
clients think you are the best thing since sliced bread simply because
you did what you said you were going to do! WHEN YOU'RE GIVING PEOPLE
WHAT YOU PROMISE THEM, YOU DON'T HAVE TO USE THINGS LIKE TRICKERY TO
STAY IN BUSINESS!
And you know what?
CLIENTS LOVE THIS APPROACH!
AND THAT'S WHY I'VE BEEN SO SUCCESSFUL IN SUCH A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.
Maybe I'm the exception to the freelancing rule, but I just plain
believe that if somone is investing in you that you pay them back with
dividends. That's why I go out of my way to make sure that my clients
are CRAZY about working with me. And if you look at the numbers, than
it's clear that my system does something right.
3. FINALLY, I AM AS REAL AND HONEST AS THEY COME. One of the things I
hated about working for other companies was all the politics and lying
that is just accepted if not outright encouraged. I couldn't believe
what I was asked to do when I was working retail, and I couldn't
believe what was going on behind the scenes of the more seemingly
noble places that I worked at. I am an honest person, and I believe in
treating my clients and buyers with honesty.
This means not always telling them what they want to hear, but
sometimes telling them what they need to hear. This means telling the
truth, even when it puts you in a bad light because you've messed up!
It means being straightfoward in your communication with your buyers.
Now, I do recommend some tips and tricks that might seem a little less
moral when it comes to getting started and getting your first set of
jobs. But these have NOTHING to do with being dishonest, and in my
manual I provide you with a few sneakier tactics but I ALWAYS provide
you with an upfront strategy that will probably work EVEN BETTER. And
even the sneakier strategies are nothing more than means to getting
jobs where you will then deliver great work with the utmost integrity
in your communication.
This belief in honesty carries over to my manual. I challenge you to
find a more honest, open and straightforward explanation of how to
succeed as a freelancer in the shortest period of time possible.
When it comes down to it, I'm not some "guru" who pretends that I've
never made a mistake and that I don't continue to make mistakes. I
would never argue that my life is perfect and that I am always
successful with everything in my life. If anything I am successful
because of the many, many times I have failed. No one is perfect all
the time. Well, maybe some peopl are, but I'm not and never have been.
In fact, I failed miserably the first time that I freelanced! I got
plenty of short term success but ultimately I wasn't able to keep that
success and my whole career fell apart!
Now. why would I share this information with you when I'm trying to
establish my credentials as someone who can teach you how to be a
successful freelancer?
Well, as mentioned before I believe in being honest, even when the
truth is less than sterling.
Second, that failure was what paved the way for my success. I didn't
quit forever. I failed and I LEARNED from that failure.
In fact, I failed the second time I tried freelancing, though not
quite so spectacularly.
It took me three times to really figure out what worked in the real
world and for the long term. I also learned what wasn't going to work
from first hand experience.
Who would you rather learn from, someone who never failed, who never
faced adversity, who doesn't know the lows and what will take you
there?
Or do you want to learn from someone who has made every mistake there
is to make and who can teach you how to avoid those mistakes?
Do you want to fail twice at freelancing before succeeding, or do you
want to skip those failures and get right to what works?
I am not _perfect_ by any measure of the word. But I don't give up,
and I learn from my mistakes, and when you get my book you will
receive the benefits of my learning the hard way!
I believe in being honest and upfront with my clients, and you are no
exception. Of course, remember that these are just the ways that I
like to conduct my business and there's nothing out there that says
you have to do things exactly how I do things. You can apply the
strategies that you want to emply and ignore the rest. You can apply
most of these strategies to freelancing, but many of them are
applicable to other businesses and aspects of life. Do what you want
with the lessons in "The Fortunate Freelancer."
REMEMBER, THIS IS ALL ABOUT FREEDOM AND CONTROL.
YOUR freedom... and the control YOU want.
After all, isn't that how your job _should_ be? Isn't that why you
want to be a successful freelancer in the first place?
To me, in the end... when it comes to business and your job, all you
really have is your reputation. So why not make it a good one?
I guess what I'm saying is, what I've done _isn't_ magic. I'm not
pulling rabbits out of a hat, and a beautiful blonde _isn'_t
disappearing behind the curtains. And I had no formal training. The
price of my tuition was the cost of the mistakes I made out there on
the freelance battlefield.
All I did was use a specific set of proven strategies, that I've
spent the last couple of years field-testing and refining to _almost_
perfection. To the point where, now my results are quite consistent
and predictable.
FORTUNATELY, \"_THE FORTUNATE FREELANCER\"_ LETS YOU _AVOID_ ALL THE
MISTAKES I MADE. YOU GET TO _QUICKLY_ IDENTIFY THE BEST AND MOST
EFFECTIVE WAYS TO SUCCEED AT FREELANCING _NOW_, WITHOUT STALLING OUT.
And by the way, if providing great work, giving your customers
incredible value, and keeping things real appeals to you, then keep
listening, because that means you and I are going to get along
_great_. And it also means that " _THE FORTUNATE FREELANCER\"_ IS VERY
LIKELY TO BE THE SINGLE MOST VALUABLE JOB INVESTMENT YOU MAKE, IN YOUR
ENTIRE LIFETIME
Now let's talk about the content of this manual. First of all, you
_don't_ need to go through the whole book to succeed as a freelancer-
not by along shot. In fact, even just one or two sections in the book
can _immediately_ leap frog you forward in your freelancing career. If
you just take a couple of the sections and focus on employing them
consistently then you should have a very productive couple of months.
Now, this is usually the part of the sales letter where I would throw
a ton of testimonials at you. And normally I would, but this is a
brand new edition of the book and I don't want to either use old
testimonials, or to create fake testimonials.
That's right, I hate to be the one to break it to you, but most of
the people out there selling products use FAKE testimonials that they
write themselves!
And what did I tell you about myself and honesty? I'm all about it,
I'm so honest it's almost problem! I'm willing to sacrifice the sales
that I would get with fake testimonials for the sake of being as
honest with you as possible.
I also don't want to go out there and round up a bunch of celebrities
and gurus and experts to endorse my book for me. The only feedback I
will share with you is feedback that I get from people who are like
you, who are in the same position that you are in and who got out of
that position with the help of my book.
Besides, those testimonials and reviews you tend to see about other
people's products? They tend to be bought too. Plus, they tend to be
either written outright by the product owner, or are at least heavily
coached by the product owner.
You won't get any of that here. You'll just get my word and my
experience and my ironclad guarentee.
Now, this guarantee is downright absurd, that's how great it is.
"The Fortunate Freelancer" is 100% GUARANTEED TO WORK. If you buy
this manual you have a full 60 days to try it out. If you're not happy
with it, then you can RETURN IT WITHIN THE FIRST 60 DAYS FOR A FULL
REFUND!
That's how confident I am in this manual.

Let me also explain that while "_The Fortunate Freelancer"_ is
designed for online freelancing, most of the book is equally
applicable to offline freelancing.
Your own mileage may vary on this. The thing is, how you deliver your
goods or services isn't really that important. I like online
freelancing, but other people prefer offline freelancing. Regardless
of where you market your skills, THE _STRATEGY_ YOU USE IS CRITICAL.
And that's what this manual gives you brutally effective strategies
you can use in any niche, with any skill set, however you want to
market them.
HOW IS THIS MANUAL SET UP?
Good question. The manual is divided into five sections. The first
section " WHERE TO START\" covers the nuts and bolts of getting
started as a freelancer, and what I feel the best website for getting
started at online freelancing is, and why exactly I think it's the
best site to use (even though at first it might seem like one of your
WORST options!) Here's a sampling of what you can expect to learn from
this first section.
* The main freelancing websites and how they work.
There are a lot of different freelancing websites out there, but not
all of them are worth thinking about or even looking at. I explain the
best type of freelancing website to check out and why they are
superior to the other main type of freelancing website.
* THE NUMBER ONE IDEA YOU NEED TO INTERNALIZE IF YOU ARE GOING TO
SUCCEED AT ONLINE FREELANCING.
This is crucial. This is the number one thing you need to know and
pound into your head that will let you succeed even though you might
not be nearly as skilled or qualified as other freelancers. * WHY
VOLUME OF COMPETITION DOESN'T NECESSARILY TRANSLATE INTO STRENGTH OF
COMPETITION.
It's easy to get intimidated when seeing all the other providers on
the main freelance websites. I explain why you should pretty much
ignore these numbers.
* WHAT I LEARNED MY FIRST DAY WITH ONLINE FREELANCING.
I wasn't a provider when I first encountered online freelancing, and
this made a huge difference and taught me some of the most valuable
lessons I ever learned, lessons that helped me from the first day that
I started out as a freelance provider.
* WHY GOOD PROVIDERS MIGHT NOT ACTUALLY PROVIDE YOU WITH ANY
COMPETITION.
It's easy to see more accomplished providers and feel too intimidated
to even start. I explain exactly why you don't need to feel any
pressure or fear when it comes to swimming in the same pool as these
accomplished providers.
* WHY YOU CAN GET PROJECTS WITHOUT ANY FREELANCING EXPERIENCE, EVEN
WHEN THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE BIDDING ON THE SAME PROJECT.
It's not what you think.
* HOW OFTEN YOU SHOULD CHECK THE FREELANCING WEBSITES FOR JOBS WHEN
YOU ARE JUST GETTING STARTED OUT.
Getting this right is one of the keys to getting your first jobs,
regardless of your lack of freelancing experience or history.
* HOW TO TRANSFER A GREAT REPUTATION BETWEEN FIELDS
This isn't always the best option, but there are times when it can be
a great way to jump start your freelancing career.
* WHAT THE ABSOLUTE BEST FREELANCING WEBSITE TO USE IS.
And the counter-intuitive reason why it is so great to get started on.
This tip alone with save you A LOT of time and effort.
* WHY THE CHEAPEST OPTIONS ARE ALMOST NEVER THE BEST OPTIONS.
No one likes to spend more money than they think they have to, but
investing a little something extra can throw rockets on your new
career.
* WHY IT PAYS DIVIDENDS TO ALIGN YOURSELF WITH PREMIUM PROVIDERS.
And why it's a bad idea to position yourself as an "affordable"
option.
* THE BEST WAY TO DEAL WITH PROVIDERS FROM DEVELOPING NATIONS.
It's not what you think, and it will ensure that providers who can
undercut you will pose little to no problem for you and your budding
freelance career.
* HOW TO LEVERAGE SUCCESS FROM ONE FREELANCE SITE TO THE ANOTHER ONE.
I don't necessarily recommend working on multiple freelancing sites at
once, but this section explains how to make it work if you need or
want to.
Alright, let's pause for a minute so you can catch your breathe. I
think that you're beginning to see just how powerful implementing just
a couple of these lessons can be- just how much time and frustration
you can save by implementing just a couple of the strategies you'll
find in my book. Implement and you'll see a _HUGE_ impact on your
success as a freelancer.
AND THAT'S BECAUSE ONCE YOU AVOID ALL THE COMMON MISTAKES AND
PITFALLS THAT PEOPLE RUN INTO WHEN FREELANCING YOUR NEW BUSINESS-
_AND_ YOUR LIFE- BECOMES MUCH EASIER, AND _FAR_ MORE REWARDING ON A
LOT OF DIFFERENT LEVELS.
Get it?
Great! Now, before we go on, let me teach you something very
important. It isn't enough to want to make a change in your life, you
have to _need_ to make that change in your life.
I know that this is a change that you want to make in your life, but
I also know that people need motivation and a constant reminder of why
they are making changes in their lives. You need to _constantly_ feel
that burning desire to change. You need to _continuously_ feel the
pressure to light a match to the life you previously lived that made
you unhappy and dissatisfied.
THAT'S WHY, IN THE POWERFUL INTRODUCTION TO \"THE FORTUNATE
FREELANCER\" I EXPLAIN
* The different reasons why you might want to succeed at freelancing.
Not everyone wants to completely overhaul their lives. There are
plenty of reasons to get into freelancing, and it's important that you
understand exactly what you want from your new career.
SOME OF MY OWN EXPERIENCES IN THE TRADITIONAL JOB MARKET.
I've held a LOT of odd jobs, and I know what it feels like to be stuck
in their trap. I also know that freelancing is a much better solution.

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING CRITICAL:
Money is great. I'm a big fan of money. I like to have it way more
than not having it, and money can make a lot of things go a lot
smoother and easier. But when it comes down to it money is NOT the
most important resource you have in this life.
So what could possibley be more important than the bottom line?
Time.
Your time is far more valuable than any amount of money, and that's
something you need to keep in mind. There are a lot of ways to waste
your precious, valuable, non-renewable time on this earth.
1. You can stay in a career or job you don't love.
2. You can procrastinate and continue to wait to make the changes in
your life you know that you need to make.
3. You can waste time by making mistakes that you can avoid by
educating yourself about the pitfalls of the path you are going to
pursue.
4. You can waste time by "paying your dues" when you don't have to.
Make sense?
The choice is yours!
Ok, now let's move on to the second chapter, where you will learn;
* THE TERRIBLE MINDSET THAT MOST PEOPLE DEVELOP IN TRADITIONAL
EMPLOYMENT THAT THEY BRING WITH THEM TO FREELANCING.
This mindset is so destructive that it can both keep you from living
to your full potential as a freelancer, but it can also keep you from
succeeding at all! This is a MUST READ section!
* HOW FREELANCING IS A LOT LIKE DATING, AND WHAT ATTITUDE WILL KILL
YOU IN BOTH ARENAS.
* How to select the skill that you are going to use as a Freelancer.
I explain, in very simple terms and language, a strategy for finding a
niche to work that is guaranteed to be profitable for you to freelance
in. This is the #1 reason why most people either never get started
freelancing or quickly fail at it.
This section alone is worth many times the price of this manual!
* Whether you should work in one field or multiple fields.
Most people get this wrong and cripple their earnings because of it!
* WHAT \"LINE EXTENSION\" IS AND HOW IT CAN KILL YOUR EARNINGS!
You won't find this information ANYWHERE else.
* How to select jobs that you will bid on.
Most people feel completely lost about what to bid on and what to let
go- I explain my method for evaluating the jobs I'm most likely to be
awarded.
* The Two Methods that can get you jobs you are NOT qualified to do!
This is crucially important if you are starting out without a
portfolio or any freelancing experience. With these methods you can
GET PAID to build up your qaulifications!
* Why honesty is always the best policy.
A lot of freelancers feel that it's best to lie, but being honest with
potential buyers about your imperfections is one of the BEST ways to
get jobs.
* The key factor to selecting projects that most people NEVER EVEN
CONSIDER!
This is a real good one that you don't want to miss. This will
eliminate 90% of the frustration and pain involved in freelancing, and
it's something that you can do from your very first day on the job.
* How to decide if a provider is actually going to go ahead with
their posted project.
It costs you money each time you bid on a project, and you'll just be
flushing that cash down the drain if you keep bidding on projects that
aren't likely to be awarded to ANYONE.
* The Two reasons why people buy anything.
I teach you how to leverage these two reasons in all of your proposals
to drastically increase the chances of getting any job you bid on. *
FOUR KEY STRATEGIES THAT WILL MAKE BUYERS LIKE YOU BEFORE THEY EVEN
WORK WITH YOU ON A PROJECT.
Buyers start to get a feel for you and your personality long before
they work with you, and they use this information to decide whether or
not to hire you. Ignore at your own risk!
* How to master the most unpredictable aspect of being a freelancer-
bidding.
Nothing is more nerve wracking for beginners than the bidding process.
Once you master it you will be getting jobs easily with little to no
work and no stress at all. * HOW TO DECIDE ON A BID PRICE AND A BID
TIME FOR ANY PROJECT.
So many freelancers get caught up trying to figure out what to charge
for their services and how long projects will take that they never
even bid on projects. I explain how to make sure you bid the right
amount and properly evaluate how long a project will take for any
project.
* The Two ways to price your work.
One of them will limit your earnings while the other makes you richer
and richer. Which will you choose?
* WHY MY HOURLY RATE WOULD FLUCTUATE BETWEEN $4 AN HOUR AND $50 AN
HOUR WHEN I WAS FIRST STARTING OUT, AND HOW YOU CAN AVOID THIS TRAP.
* What projects you should avoid at all costs!
I tell you how to identify projects that are traps designed to make
you work for slave wages, and how to avoid them!
* How to accurately estimate what your competition is bidding, and
how to use this to your advantage.
Knowing what your competition is bidding can be a powerful method when
deciding what you want to charge for your projects, and lets you
decide whether you are going to undercut or outprice them.
* The type of buyer that almost ALWAYS pays more than the others.
Not only do they pay more, but they EXPECT to pay more and often
REFUSE to hire someone who charges too little. You NEED to know who
these buyers are to maximize your earnings.
* How to approach finding jobs.
There are two ways to do this, and one of them will waste your time
and energy and money. This is the key to feeling relaxed and powerful
as you bid on jobs.
* How to create bid templates that will cut down the time you spend
applying to jobs by 90%!
I wasted a lot of time doing this the wrong way until I learned this
secret.
* When you should start talking to your clients one-on-one.
This will save you time talking to clients who will NEVER hire you. *
THE FIRST PLACE A POTENTIAL CLIENT LOOKS WHEN CONSIDERING YOU.
You need to have this optimized if you are going to get any jobs
whatsoever.
* What exactly a good portfolio and profile do for you and your
business.
Most people don't spend enough time on these aspects of their presence
and don't understand them, and it costs them a lot of work.
* The keys to a successful portfolio.
Everything from what you should put in there, how much you should show
off, and the right order to put your work.
* The extended profile information that will get you more jobs than
you can handle.
This runs totally counter to what most people are told, but it works
so well that you need to know about it.
* The right tone to take in your portfolio and profile.
I've seen so many profiles and portfolios that get this wrong. I'll
teach you the right way to talk to your clients through your portfolio
and profile- they way they want you to talk to them that will get you
hired.
* The Most IMPORTANT thing you can do to understand what buyers are
looking for when selecting providers.
NOTHING else you do will give you better insight into the mind of a
buyer than this. Once you do this and understand the people who are
going to hire you, you will massively increase your chances of getting
hired in obvious and unseen ways.
* The Top-Secret Strategies that will get you jobs even if you don't
have ANYTHING to show.
When I first started freelancing I didn't have a portfolio, and I had
no experience in my field. I was able to get plenty of work within one
week of applying for jobs. I detail exactly how I did this and how you
can do the same.
* The real difference between professionals and amateurs.
It's so, so simple. but no one knows it! Learn this and you'll be free
to become a professional overnight.
You see, when you have someone in your corner who has succeeded on
the path you want to follow it all becomes THAT MUCH _EASIER_. You
waste a lot less time, you get better jobs and work with better
people, you can feel relaxed, easy and FREE for perhaps the first time
in your whole life.
And this spills over into your whole life. Just like problems at work
can make you feel terrible all night and all weekend, having a job
that is free and easy can make you feel _amazing_ during your personal
time. Freelancing is all about taking control of your life- both your
working life and your personal life. Those work pressures and
aggravations will melt away, and you will live better because of it.
WHICH IS THE WAY THINGS SHOULD BE, RIGHT?
That's because you no longer belong to anyone but yourself. Instead
of having an oppressive weight on your shoulders, you will be deciding
your own destiny and making your own decisions, and your passions
become the engine that drives your life. All you need to do is jump in
the driver's seat and tell the system where you want to go- _whenever_
and in _whatever_ direction you want to go.

Now, those benefits are all only from the first 2 chapters! The
Fortunate Freelancer has 2 more chapters that are just as packed with
important and helpful guidance. Here are a just _some_ of the things
you'll learn from Chapters 3, 4 and 5.
* THE COMMON LESSON WE'VE ALL BEEN TAUGHT SINCE GRADE SCHOOL THAT
WILL CRIPPLE YOUR PRODUCTIVITY.
This is something that's been drilled into your head for YEARS and
YEARS, if not DECADES. You NEED to be able to recognize and change
this mindset if you are going to reach your full potential and succeed
as a freelancer. * WHAT CAN HAPPEN WHEN YOU ARE NO LONGER SUPERVISED
BY ANYONE.
And _no_, it's not gaining the freedom to spend more time on
Facebook!
* HOW TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE GOING TO BE PRODUCTIVE ENOUGH TO ENSURE
THAT FREELANCING WILL BE WORTH THE EFFORT.
Chances are you _won't_ be doing this from the start without being
told about it.
* THE PROBLEM WITH THE WEALTH OF PRODUCTIVITY GURUS OUT THERE.
There's a big problem with all the productivity gurus and systems out
there, even though most of them are right on the money! You need to
find out what it is if you are going to actually learn anything about
getting more done in less time!
* HOW TO PICK THE RIGHT PRODUCTIVITY GURUS FOR YOU!
This one tip is so simple, yet so few people figure it out for
themselves!
* THE ONE PRODUCTIVITY GURU THAT I READ AND LISTEN TO ABOVE ALL
OTHERS.
I have modeled SO MUCH of my understanding on business, work and
getting things done from this ONE person. They have literally reshaped
how I see and interact with the world- all for the better!

* THE TWO RULES THAT WILL ENSURE YOU GET MORE WORK DONE IN LESS TIME
THAN YOU EVER THOUGHT YOU WOULD BEFORE.
You don't need to even be a freelancer to benefit from these rules!
They have changed pretty much EVERY aspect of my life, not just how I
work.
* I EXPLAIN WHY SOME PROJECTS JUST SEEM TO TAKE FOREVER, DESPITE THE
FACT THEY AREN'T ACTUALLY ANY HARDER THAN YOUR OTHER PROJECTS.
I wasted a lot of time and built up a lot of frustration with my job
before I figured this out. Once I fixed this one problem I have very,
very rarely worked on a project that ran out of my control.
* HOW TO CONTINUOUSLY IMPROVE YOUR FREELANCING BUSINESS- EVERY
SINGLE DAY, WEEK, MONTH AND YEAR.
There's no reason to get stuck in a rut for long after you read this
lesson.
* WHAT YOU SHOULD READ AFTER YOU HAVE ALREADY MASTERED YOUR
PRODUCTIVITY THAT WILL SEND YOU CAREER AND LIFE TO THE NEXT LEVEL!
* THE ONE THING OTHER THAN TIME THAT IS MORE IMPORTANT TO YOUR
FREELANCING CAREER THAN MONEY.
Too often we get caught up in the momentary bottom line and don't
realize that there are some aspects of our work that are far more
important when it comes to our continued success. Without this one
thing in particular it doesn't matter how much money you make on your
current job- _because you won't get another one!_
* I EXPLAIN THE WHOLE PROCESS OF BUYER FEEDBACK, AND HOW TO MAKE
SURE THAT YOU GET THE BEST FEEDBACK POSSIBLE.
There are things to pay attention to when it comes to feedback and
there are things that you can and should safely ignore. I explain how
to tell the difference between the two to make sure you put your
attention where it matters!
* THE ONE WAY TO ENSURE THAT YOU GET GREAT FEEDBACK ALMOST EVERY
TIME.
* WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO IF YOUR PROJECT FAILS.
Just about everyone will have a project that just doesn't go
according to plan, especially when first starting out. Most people
will also run into a project or two that just COMPLETELY FALL APART.
These projects are dangerous and must be dealt with in the right
manner, or they can wreck your whole career! I go over the nuts and
bolts of what to do when it all falls apart- and how to pick the
pieces back up and save your career!
* HOW YOU CAN GET BUYERS TO PAY YOU TO LEARN NEW SKILLS!
This is one of the best things you can do as a freelancer, and one of
the biggest perks of the job! Be careful though, because if you try
and do this the wrong way it can spell disaster.
* WHETHER TRADITIONAL EDUCATION OR PERSONAL PRACTICE ARE REALLY
VALID WAYS TO LEARN ANYTHING, OR WHETHER THEY ARE TOTAL WASTES OF
TIME!
* WHEN YOU SHOULD RAISE YOUR RATE, AND WHAT FACTORS WILL LET YOU DO
THIS REGULARLY.
One of the BEST parts of freelancing is the fact that you can raise
your rate at a truly ridiculous rate. While people in traditional
employment have to wait to beg for an annual raise or have to fight
there way up the corporate pay scale, as a freelancer you will be able
to double your hourly rate in as little as 2 months!
* HOW TO LAUNCH PAST ONLINE FREELANCING AND DEVELOP THE BUSINESS AND
LIFE OF YOUR DREAMS.
While some people see Freelancing as the end goal, I talk about those
of us who see it as simply another great step on your path to
something even better.
In a lot of ways freelancing is a necessary step to take before you
get to those coveted things like owning your own business and making
huge amounts of automated passive income. Freelancing teaches you so
many of the skills and mindsets that you need if you are going to try
and really do your own thing- and chances are you will fall flat on
your face over and over again until you learn these crucial skills!

As we're wrapping up, there are just a couple more things that I want
to talk about. I hope by now you understand that when I'm not just
talking about making money here. Sure, it's great to make more money
than you would in your career by freelancing, but that's not what it's
about.
In a lot of ways, the manner in which someone earns money and the
manner in which they works says a lot about how they are living their
life. Most people just do enough to get by in their work, and most
people just do enough to get by in their lives. Most people stick to
safe structures and institutions, sacrificing their freedom and
deepest passions for that elusive idea of "security."
Never mind that corporate America has totally blown away the idea of
security. It feels like there's nothing secure about having a "good
job" these days. In fact, I find that I feel a lot more secure as a
freelancer than I ever have in a day job. At a normal job I'm at the
whims of my bosses and the corporate agenda. As a freelancer, I gained
control over my working life. I don't know about you, but I feel a lot
more secure when I'm the one driving than when I let someone
irresponsible take the wheel.
Of course, there are plenty of people out there in the taditional job
world that make more money than I am making right now. Part of that is
choice, as I choose not to work as many hours as I could possibley
work. Part of that is the fact that some people go ahead and give
their lives to those safe, socially acceptable jobs by being things
like doctors and lawyers. But as I've said many, many times before-
it's not really about the money.
Money is nothing more than a means to an end. People get high paying
"safe" jobs because they think their salaries will buy them freedom.
But are they really free when their jobs own them? No matter how much
you are paid, you are still being bought when you submit yourself to a
9-5.
But for just $39 bucks, you can buy yourself back.
For a mere $39 bucks, this is the greatest
single investment with the highest return
potential...you will _EVER_ MAKE.

Here's something I've learned in my own life whenever I am unsure
about taking an important leap forward.
YOU CAN ALWAYS THINK UP ANOTHER REASON WHY YOU SHOULDN'T DO SOMETHING
THAT SCARES YOU.
No matter what, every single big, positive change in my life has come
after I've made a big, positive commitment. Every leap forward I have
taken has been threatened by a never-ending stream of negative
thinking and excuses why I should take it. Every single surge of
personal growth I have created has ONLY happened once I shut off that
voice that kept telling me "No."
Of course, maybe you'll shut down the voice telling you "Yes." Maybe
you'll ignore that message, and ignore everything that I've talked
about here. That's really your choice.
But I bet you won't. I bet you are able to sense something special
right now. I bet you're able to already sense a shift in yourself. A
shift in the way you think and see the world and how you've been
living your life up until now. I think you'll be able to realize that
the way you have been running your life and the way you have been
thinking about your job up until now, the way that you have (bluntly
speaking) been selling yourself out has just been wrong.
Let's be honest. This is a MASSIVE and LONG letter, and if you are
still reading it right now that means that what I've been talking
about has really awakened something powerful within you. The
strategies and ideas within this book have literally changed my life,
and I want it to change yours too. Why do you think I've written over
30 pages talking about it? I believe in it that much and I'm not going
to give up on helping you.
Why do you think you've read over 30 pages of me telling you to
change...?
SO OBEY THAT URGE YOU'RE GEELING INSIDE- BECAUSE IT _IS_ THE RIGHT
THING TO DO. ORDER NOW, AND YOU WILL BE ABLE TO _IMMEDIATELY_ DOWNLOAD
YOUR COPY OF \"THE FORTUNATE FREELANCER\" AND YOU WILL BE ABLE TO
_IMMEDIATELY_ BEGIN TO TAKE THE FIRST QUICK STEPS TOWARDS A
LIFE-CHANGING FREELANCING CAREER.
I am personally EXCITED when I think about helping you take this
great journey that I have taken. A journey that has made me more free
than pretty much everyone I have ever known. Thank you for reading
this message and I wish you nothing but success, good health, and a
life filled with wonderful things.
Hope all is well,
Craig Staufenberg
