You're probably thinking to yourself, “Ya, right, that's a distant dream. I'm still struggling to charge just $500.”
Even though you're able to design great work, your portfolio doesn't reflect the level of projects you know you can design. This means you're still not attracting the type of clients you want to design for. Because after all, don't the best clients come to those who have the best portfolios?
So then you start looking for jobs and sending out resumes instead of looking for that next great client.
The idea of becoming a graphic design freelancer has always allured you, but without a plan, you've been left wondering how to even get traction?
Imagine if you just had a roadmap to price your design work confidently.
Getting clients? Line 'em up!
Sending contracts? Easy.
Quoting a project without cringing? It can be a reality!
But the route seems foggy and decoding the mystery of freelancing involves things like searching far and wide for information with too many points of view, which you end up having to piece together still asking yourself questions like:
→ How do I leverage my portfolio to land great clients that value design?
→ How do I charge remotely close to $5,000 for a logo?
→ What are other freelance designers doing that I'm missing?
It's not difficult to get the answers to these questions, but it can be puzzling to figure out on your own.
You just need a few wins.

We do this by filtering and tailoring the best freelance design resources online so you can stop doubting yourself and stop feeling overwhelmed. You'll finally put your scattered and confused mind to rest and start winning as a freelance graphic designer.
This means no more:

“Before joining Pre-lance, I was unconfident in negotiating and nervous when talking about contracts or rates. I started using some of the tactics described in the course and I grabbed three clients in the midst of the course! I also started charging double what I was charging beforehand.”
“Anyone that is in a design career should take advantage of Pre-lance. It goes over all the things that most don’t learn in school about the business of design.”
