Freelance Express
A “FAST TRACK” WAY TO
Generate Freelance Income….FAST!
“Trish knows all the ‘ins and outs’ of working on Elance. She will answer all of your questions before they even pass your lips and give you the confidence to get to work. I had been working on Elance with no results, and I got my first job on Elance within 48 hours of taking the class. If you want to know how to be a successful online freelancer, you’ve got to take this class.” ~ Karen Kaliss, Freelance Writer
Here is a GUARANTEED way to sell your freelancing services into a global marketplace and generate revenue.
Whether you are freelancing full time or part time, you want new clients, you want a steady stream of qualified clients coming into your business, and you want new revenue without spending too much time, energy, and money creating it.
Think about it… what would it be like to have a 24/7/365 sales rep who sends you hundreds of leads every month that call for your skills and services? What is it worth to you to have a system for snagging as much work as you can handle from that ocean of leads?
There is a never-ending pool of prospects and projects that need your services and with which you can:
- Pay less than standard sales commission rates for access to qualified leads.
- Create extra income without significantly increasing your overhead costs.
- Leverage the connections you make with new clients to build your business faster and smarter.
Get New Clients, More Revenue, and Strategic Business Building Opportunities
WINNING with Freelance Express
A 2-day/2-week tele/coaching course
with Trish Lambert, Elance Provider and Small Business Coach
In two half-day sessions and two private calls with me, you will:
- Become a service provider on Elance, offering your valuable skills and expertise to the right prospects.
- Have a presence on Elance that sells you and your services to qualified prospects.
- Have a system for quickly selecting a steady stream of Elance projects to bid on.
- Have a time-efficient system for posting bids that win.
- Know how to leverage Elance as a strategic business builder.
What’s Elance going to do for your business?
Let you work as much or as little as you want? Pretty much.
Have a source of revenue that can be dialed up or down as needed? Yeah.
Give you more freedom to set your life up the way you want it? YES! Isn’t that the point of being on your own?
It’s no secret that your freedom and financial security is largely dependent on your ability to find prospects, turn them into clients, and keep the good ones. And we both know that finding prospects can be a challenge, turning them into clients can be time consuming and tough (especially in this economy), and retaining the good ones takes service above and beyond the call. This is a constant, never-ending process. Stop doing any one of those three and you’re business will slow down, stall, or even move backward.
“Freelance Express has shortened my learning curve a tremendous amount and has saved me just a ton of time. Trish explained the process every step of the way and made it extremely easy to get up and running. By the third week I was bidding on projects and I know that I will be meeting my revenue objectives much faster than if I had done this on my own. I highly recommend the course.” ~ Mark Pridham, Mark Pridham Web Design
Elance is the solo service provider’s essential source of business. If you aren’t already on Elance, you need to be. If you are, and you aren’t seeing a return on the time and money you’ve invested there, you need to fix that.
Grow your revenues without increasing your overhead…much.
Elance Is the Easiest Way to Grow Your Business
without Changing Out of Your Sweatpants
You want more clients, but you don’t want to go to the meetings, make the calls, or write the long proposals. That takes way too much time out of your work day and forces you to work at times when you would rather be spending time with your family or having fun in the rest of your life. Offering your services on Elance means you can stay at home, in your sweatpants (or shorts or whatever), and submit lots of short proposals (you can submit up to 10 in an hour doing it my way!) and work on the jobs you’ve been awarded.
But you’re not so sure about that. Want to know how I know? You’re still thinking about it. You haven’t taken action. And if you haven’t taken action, there are only two reasons why. Either you don’t really believe that Elance is really going to work to get you new clients, or you’ve tried and it’s not working for you.
I know that Elance has an “iffy” reputation among many commercial creatives. And I won’t deny that there are a lot of what I call “bottom feeders” on the site, both buying and selling services. But there are gems in there too…projects that turn into long term client relationships, and that in turn refer you on to more clients (not on Elance). These are the projects you will be able to identify, bid for, and win after you’ve completed this course (and I guarantee that you will have revenue…more on that later).
Let the facts speak for themselves. My own solo service business exploded as a result of my presence on Elance. Within six weeks of signing up four years ago, I had booked $20,000 worth of projects. As of today, I have brought in around $100,000 in revenue from Elance. Add in the referrals I’ve received from my Elance clients (which didn’t go through Elance) and the clients who called me directly after they read my Elance profile (which is acceptable under Elance’s terms of service), and I can confidently stand before you and say that Elance is a BIG reason that my business exceeded $100,000 in revenues in less than two years.
Sure, you could say, “Well, Trish, easy for you to say, you had years and years of experience before you even signed up on Elance, you’ve got a portfolio of great samples to show prospects that could choke a horse, and a 100% positive feedback rating from an impressive number of Elance clients.” Yes, that’s all true. But, I didn’t start out with anything but my experience. No portfolio. No projects. No feedback. In other words, I started out pretty much where you are. But, you want to know the big difference? I saw the amazing opportunity that Elance is, and I used my experience and common sense to do what I needed to do to win business and get new clients.
That’s it. That’s my secret. Some secret, eh? The presence I created on Elance initially earned me clients, the system I have created to continue to win business has built my client list and my use of Elance has ultimately turned into big opportunities, a global client base, and major bucks. All in my sweatpants.
Master the Knack of Getting Great New Clients through Elance
What are you doing today to find and get new clients?
Are you able to keep a steady flow of projects coming in the door? Do you have so many projects you can pick and choose the clients you want to continue to work for?
Freelance Express gives you the knowledge and tools you need to do just that.
“Trish Lambert guided me effectively through the daunting process of bidding for jobs on Elance. She brought her considerable marketing skills to our sessions and shared unique insights one would never find elsewhere. What was to me an intimidating, onerous task became an adventure as I learned a new approach to selling my writing skills in an internet environment. Trish, always very generous with her knowledge, supportively coached me on the numerous details of marketing and working within the Elance structure. Her critiques of my work were unfailingly clear, concise and aimed toward improving my written products. For me, Trish has been a valued mentor and coach.” ~ Barbara Kackley, Change Management Group
Think you can’t do it, or won’t? Too tough? Too risky? The time has come…
I am not going to let you fail. Taking this course guarantees that you will bring in revenues from Elance–at least three times what you pay for the course!*
What makes me so certain about your success that I can guarantee you a three-fold return on your investment in this course?
A little over four years ago, I was wondering if Elance could work for me. Could I make enough to tide me over as I transitioned from corporate to solopreneur life? I figured I’d try it for six months and see how it turned out. And, as I said before, within six weeks I had booked $20,000 in projects. It was enough for me to quit the job and strike out on my own. And the hits kept coming…my revenues from Elance projects formed the foundation of my income for the next two years.
Today, even though my revenues are mainly coming from other sources, I continue to bid on projects and win work on Elance.
So, listen…you have talent. You can definitely win work on Elance. But, it can be overwhelming to figure out how to make this online marketplace work for you. Most people feel that way. I know I did at first. So, what we need is a way to take away the overwhelm.

A Bonus that Will Help You
Get Established and Making Money on Elance
This course is NOT about just giving you information. It’s about getting you new business. Guaranteed.
While life offers no guarantees, I actually do. Because I know what you are capable of. I guarantee that I’ll show you how to win business on Elance. Success comes when you see opportunities and make commitments. You make the commitment to work this course, and I make a commitment to you in return.**
I guarantee that you will win three times your investment in this course within six months or….no, not your money back. What’s the point of that? You are taking this course to increase your revenues, not work for six months just to get back your course fee. I guarantee that you will win three times your investment in this course in six months or I will keep working with you until you do.
I am so certain that you will win work on Elance that I am sticking with you until you have won three times what you pay for this course. If, after six months of applying the things you learn in our work together, you haven’t booked three times your course investment, just let me know and I will coach you until you accomplish that.
“I tried selling my services on Elance for six months with mediocre success, spent money on an ebook and then another two months of mostly unsuccessful work. Then I heard about Trish’s Elance course. I was skeptical, but knew that I needed someone to hold my hand and guide me through the process, so I decided to go for it. Before the class ended, I had landed a new client that paid for the class and met the terms of Trish’s guarantee. I am so thrilled! I’d recommend this course whether you’re starting out on Elance or you feel stuck in the process and are not getting the clients you deserve.” ~ Lara Fabans, Lodestone Consulting
** Here’s how the deal works: You show up to every single course session live and in person (NOT listening later to the audio recording, though you can do that too if you want) and do/post your homework on time every week. Also, you continue to be an Elance member in good standing for the entire three months in question (three months after completion of the course). If you have not booked triple your course investment, you email me and let me know, and we rev up the engines and git ‘er done!

Enjoy the feeling of pride, accomplishment, and freedom that being a successful Elance provider will give you.
The pieces are starting to fall into place. You simply cannot fail. This is totally doable.
Okay, so are you ready to find out what the course costs?
If this was 2009, the cost of this course would be $695, and a deal at that price.
But this is now, the economy is kicking us in the sweatpants on a daily basis, and I am not comfortable sticking to the pre-recession price, no matter how good a deal it (still) is.
The let’s-succeed-even-if-the-economy-sucks price is $499.
I guarantee you will triple your investment. $499 to make almost $1,500 … how does that sound?
