About the Mt. Freelance Online Course

Mt. Freelance covers every aspect of freelancing, from networking and self-promotion, to how and why to charge lots of money for your services, to best practices in regards to client work, as well how to treat your career like a business instead of a job or phase of your career. 
 
Members are also invited to a private Facebook group where they can ask questions and share advice.
 
The 35 videos are hosted by Aaron and Andrew and range from three to eight minutes each. They are organized into four different course levels: 
 
Getting Ready to Do It helps freelancers get the work they want.
 
Doing It For The Money (pictured here) helps freelancers charge what they are worth.
 
Doing It helps freelancers work so they get hired again and again. 
 
Remember To Do This Stuff Too helps freelancers maintain and grow their freelance business.
