If you're not yet earning $250,000 per year as a freelancer, I can help.

Does this sound anything like you?

YOU HAVE A HIGH VALUE FREELANCING SKILL...

...but you're having trouble commanding premium rates for your services. It's tough to negotiate with clients in a "race to the bottom" marketplace.

OR YOU'RE A FREELANCER MAKING DECENT MONEY

...but you find that you spend as much time finding clients as you do on billable work. It's impossible to scale because you keep saying YES to every job because you're worried business could dry up. Wouldn't it be great if high quality work would consistently come to YOU?

OR MAYBE...YOU'VE BUILT UP YOUR FREELANCING BUSINESS

...but the amount of money you're earning has plateaued. So far, you have yet to land a premium client who pays you what you're worth and doesn't take up much of your time or add much stress.

OR, WORST OF ALL, YOU'VE GIVEN UP FREELANCING COMPLETELY

(or you're about to). You believe you just can't make the money you would in a normal 9-to-5 job, so you've decided to quit and trudge back to the office.

I was there too...
for a long stretch of my freelance career!

Ryan Waggoner

I'm Ryan Waggoner.

In 2007, I quit my corporate job to become a freelancer. I wanted freedom of location, income independence, and more variety and excitement in my work. I did a little napkin math, and calculated that if I charged $50 / hour for my skills with web development, I would just need to work my 40 hours per week and BOOM! Six figure income and all the freedom of being your own boss!

It all sounded great, but reality took hold.

And after years of struggling, I found myself like many freelancers:

  • Consistently getting underpaid on low quality jobs because I was afraid to charge more.
  • Getting rejection after rejection from clients (if I was lucky...most just ignored me).
  • Accepting painful jobs with crummy clients JUST to keep food on the table.
  • Becoming severely overworked, criminally underpaid, and incredibly depressed.

Basically...I was a huge mess.

And unfortunately, I know this situation is not uncommon in the freelancing profession. Plenty of rock stars end up giving up because they feel completely trapped by the freelancing landscape which seems to only look for who charges the least. What begins as an idea full of freedom and financial independence quickly becomes a reality of anxiety on all fronts.

Fast forward to 2017:

  • I work on awesome projects with great clients.
  • I rarely have to look for work; clients come to me.
  • I'm earning more than I ever thought possible from freelance.
  • And most importantly, I'm having so much fun.

Now, this change didn't happen overnight.

It took me years to make this transformation.

But making this change in my own life (and helping other freelancers make it too) has convinced me that it's possible for almost any freelancer...

...provided you're willing to put in the work!

Or, as one of my coaching clients puts it:

Following Ryan's advice has been without a doubt the best thing that happened to my career. In 14 months, I’ve landed several clients and earned $138,956. In 2017 I'm aiming to hit $200K+. Having this revenue is allowing myself and my wife to really hammer our debt, plan on buying a house, and just live without the financial stress that had for so long become the norm.

It may seem impossible but...

In this course I will show you how I turned inconsistent freelancing into a CAREER earning $250k+ per year.

While success is not guaranteed, you will learn the best practices of the established path to building a high-income freelance career.

I did it myself, and trust me, if I can do it, so can you.

In fact, all it took was being lucky enough to learn from skilled mentors - experts who knew how to work with world-class clients - to provide me with the proper tools to succeed.

Oh yeah...and all of the necessary years of hard work too :)

Once I listened to my mentors’ advice, put in the work where they said to, and trusted the overarching principles of freelancing success, I went from being a desperate, struggling freelancer to not worrying about money and having the freedom to pick the jobs I want.

And I want to share everything I’ve learned from years of experience and the best bits of wisdom I have accumulated with YOU.

It’s why I created...

Freelance250k

The exact systems I use to consistently earn over $250k (profit!) per year.

This course is my way of paying it forward. It is your one-stop-shop for the systems and guidelines to grow your freelancing earnings and create an extremely lucrative and rewarding career.

It Will Teach You:

How to earn more for your freelancing services!

Stop with the mindset of accepting any job just because it pays something. You'll learn how to position yourself in the market, how to raise your prices based on value, and how to replace your $1k clients with $10k-$100k clients.

How to find and work with rock star clients!

Working with toxic clients is the fastest way to end your freelance career. They take huge amounts of time and drain every drop of life from you. You’ll learn how to find premium clients who are more than willing to pay premium prices for quality work.

How to rapidly close bigger deals

When you get those much-better clients to email you back or return your calls, you still need to close the deal! I'll show you how to go from initial contact with a potential client to depositing your first check, with minimum delay, hassle, and risk.

How to do meaningful work and say NO!

The ONLY way to have long term success in freelancing career is to work on exciting, inspiring projects. You’ll learn how to “productize” your services so you can specialize in the work you want to do, and say no to everything else...

and much more!

"One of the best courses I've ever taken."

"Amazing course that takes you from A to Z in terms of being a successful, high-earning freelancer. One of the best courses I've ever taken.

I liked it all but the sections on prospecting, promotion and marketing were my favorites."

Tim DiSabatino



"It's literally a blueprint for how to run an effective freelancing business."

"The course was amazingly helpful. It's literally a blueprint for how to run an effective freelancing business. There are so many amazing nuggets in there that will transform the way I do business.

Best part was being able to see how successful freelancers run their business, giving you a set of best practices that will save you years of trial and error. Also the freebies are fantastic!

Take A Look At The CONTENT Of The Course:

MODULE 1: Positioning

Weeks 1 & 2

In order to begin earning more for your freelancing work by attracting higher quality clients, you MUST master how you position your services to the market.

Positioning will help you carve out your market niche and determine what specific problems you will solve for what types of clients.

This module will teach you:

  • Why positioning is essential to building a successful freelancing career
  • How to brainstorm and validate your target niche
  • How to create a rock solid positioning statement
  • What to do with your positioning once defined

MODULE 2: Pricing and Products

Weeks 3 & 4

After you’ve positioned yourself in the market, it’s time to determine what you will sell and how much it will cost. Gone are the days of accepting any job just because it pays.

At the end of this module, you’ll have mapped out your “teaser engagement” as well as a higher priced offering, and you’ll have determined exactly how to communicate with your target market so they’ll be more than willing to buy.

This module will teach you:

  • Why you should NEVER bill hourly again (and exactly what you should do instead)
  • How to price based on value to earn 3-5x the revenue
  • How to build a strong base of recurring revenue for predictable cashflow
  • And how to create a menu of pre-packaged engagements clients can choose from

MODULE 3: Finding the Best Clients

Weeks 5 & 6

Now that you have positioned yourself in the market and developed your menu of productized engagements, it’s time to get clients! This module covers a variety of methods to find clients, with different tradeoffs.

At the end of this module, you’ll have the set of tools you need to start finding clients looking for someone like YOU to solve their problems.

This module will teach you:

  • The buying process from the client's point of view (extremely important to understand)
  • How to build effective lead prospecting and promotion systems
  • How to perform cold outreach most effectively
  • And how to flip the script to get the best clients to come to you pre-qualified!

MODULE 4: Closing the Deal

Weeks 7 & 8

Now that you've been out there for a few weeks hunting for great projects, you should be getting some solid leads with prospective clients.

This module will walk you through the entire process from that initial contact with a potential client, all the way through to that first deposit hitting your bank account.

This module will teach you:

  • How to handle an initial potential client phone call or meeting
  • The key things you need to do in order to maximize your chances of closing the project
  • How to write your proposals and agreements to make sure you get paid and that the project runs smoothly
  • And how to troubleshoot the entire process so it doesn't fall apart with tens of thousands of dollars on the line

MODULE 5: Project Management

Weeks 9 & 10

You’ve now built up a list of clients, so it’s time to take your relationship to the next level. Many of the most lucrative relationships start off with a simple, inexpensive engagement. But with proper account management and value propositioning, it is possible to 10x the value of a client or more!

At the end of this module, you’ll have the guide to running client engagements so you will be re-hired, referred, and showered with praise! These techniques have been key to many of my clients who have a six-figure lifetime value.

This module will teach you:

  • How to kick off a client call or meeting
  • How to manage an ongoing relationship
  • The correct time to ask so you get glowing referrals and recommendations
  • When to part ways with a client

MODULE 6: Bringing It All Together

Weeks 11 & 12

The tools you’ve learned can bring almost any freelancer to a six figure income, but this module is about scaling to $250k per year and beyond, and then staying there.

By the end of this module, you’ll have developed the systems to model your business on that will lead to ongoing success and scale.

This module will teach you:

  • What behaviors are essential to running a $250k+ business
  • What you should schedule daily / weekly / monthly / quarterly to ensure ongoing success
  • Repeatable systems and habits crucial to sustaining momentum
  • How to set proper goals, and work backwards to achieve them

"...has completely changed my business..."

"Working with Ryan has completely changed my business. Within 4 months, I went from $0 in freelancing to $20,000 / month. Ryan has been extremely helpful in showing me everything I've needed to know to get up and running."

Nick Kezhaya



"...this was incredibly helpful..."

"Thanks so much for this course, Ryan! Overall, this was incredibly helpful.

The best part for me was the one-on-one conversation and feedback, especially when covering positioning. Positioning is hard and it's almost more of a personal journey and testimony than a teachable entity. Loved being able to hear other people's story to help direct mine.

This course covered everything I was expecting! It helped me bridge the gap from, "I've done this a couple times and I don't know how to do it full time." to "I'm ready. I have a plan."

This course may NOT be for you.

I'm not building a course for everyone, so there’s a chance that this material is NOT a fit for your situation. My key metric of success is the value and results achieved by the freelancers who take this course.

To that end...

If you don't have 1-2 hours/week to work ON your business, this course is not for you.

I can only give you the step-by-step directions. You have to follow them to build your business. And that will take time, every week, going through the lessons, getting coached, interacting with the group, etc. If you're so busy that you can't set aside a couple hours each week, you won't get the results you want from this.

If you are looking to “get rich quick”, this course is also not for you.

Let me be clear: this course is NOT a get-rich-quick guide. This is for freelancers interested in the long game and building a career instead of making a quick buck. Results will take time, and I’m only interested in teaching and putting energy towards those who are truly committed.

If you hate interacting with people, this course MIGHT NOT be for you.

I get it, I'm an introvert myself.

But part of being a successful freelancer is the ability to communicate with clients and form long lasting relationships. Yes, this means calls and sometimes the occasional face to face meeting.

While I know this type of interaction can be difficult for those of us that are more introverted, I will teach you how to navigate these interactions successfully. But if your idea of a perfect career involves zero customer interaction, this course is probably not for you.

If you are brand new to freelancing, this course MAY not be for you.

I’m excited that you’re interested in freelancing, but you should know that this course assumes that you have some experience freelancing already. It’s meant to add fuel to an already built fire.

That said, the info in the course will mostly benefit a new freelancer as well (and save you some heartache that I wish I could have avoided!)

So if you're new to freelance, and you have a question about whether this course is right for you, you can email me at hi@ryanwaggoner.com and I can help you determine if this will work for you, or point you in the right direction of other resources more appropriate.

However, if you are serious about taking your freelancing to the next level, and are willing to do the work, then scroll to choose your plan and join the course!...

When you enroll, you can check out the course risk-free for a month with my 100% Satisfaction-Guarantee.

In fact, if you don't get immediate value from the lessons and coaching in this course during the first 30 days, I require you to request a refund.

My job is to give you the tools to succeed. If it doesn't work for you, I haven't done my job, and I don't want your money.

"...gave me a lot more confidence and knowledge..."

"I'd absolutely recommend it to another freelancer.

Listening to your experience and knowledge was invaluable. Knowing you started from the ground at a place where most freelancers do was encouraging.

I really enjoyed the course and feel like it gave me a lot more confidence and knowledge in how to handle my freelance business moving forward.

FAQ

Here are answers to some frequently asked questions:

This course is designed for ALL types of freelancers, whether you’re a programmer, designer, writer, coach, consultant, anything! The principles and systems apply to freelancing in a general sense, so it does not matter what your particular skill is, so long as there are people willing to pay for it!

Yes! If you’re not 100% satisfied within 30-days of purchasing the course, send an email to ryan@freelance250k.com and I’ll immediately give you a full refund!

That answer depends on you. I've had coaching clients reach those levels within 2-3 years, while others may never get there. It's all about the effort you put into the process. Watching the videos alone won’t earn you more money. It’s the application of the principles, techniques, and systems that will!

Absolutely not! This course is made for freelancers of all skill sets, and there are no instructions that require any technical knowledge or skill.

The course runs for 12 weeks, and you should plan on spending at least a couple hours per week to watch the lessons, go through the exercises, and engagement with me and the group.
