“The amount of material available at Freelance University is phenomenal! The return on my investment is off the charts!”
- Wanda Cox (Freelance University Student)
Working as a highly sought-after, well-paid freelancer could be the solution!
This is the big question, isn’t it?
You have valuable skills and a desire to contribute. You want to get started with freelancing. But you just don’t know how or where to begin!
You might be asking yourself:
Getting started all by yourself takes a lot of work. The fear of the unknown can make you feel like a deer in headlights.
Just the idea of learning new skills or diving into unknown waters might make you feel tired before you even start.
But then, staying stuck in the same routine would mean missing out on the freedom you desire.
Whether it’s the dream of traveling during retirement or earning extra income while being at home with the kids, the life you want may seem out of reach…
This Is Why We Built Our 5-Step Success System!
Imagine not having to take this leap all by yourself.
Imagine having someone to help you along the way as you make this major life transition.
Imagine a step-by-step system that not only teaches you freelancing skills but also teaches you how to set up your business, systems, processes and how to find and retain clients.
Unlike generic one-off courses or brain-dump training websites, Freelance University provides you with a five-step system to take you from where you are to where you want to be.
'Within a few months of joining FreelanceU, I have picked up so many jobs that I have had to reject some. It gave me the confidence and the right business mindset. Joining FreelanceU has made me more professional to the extent that one client hired me as I sounded more professional than others who applied for her job."

"After taking some courses last year with Freelance University I was able to set up my business which has since grown exponentially! I'm back because I love the amount of content and courses on offer, not to mention the amazing community, and want to really perfect my services for my existing clients (namely social media management) and business is going so well that I have the financial stability to do so! Thanks Craig, Kelly & the team!!"
- Gemma Wilson
"Being a part of the Freelance University community has given me the confidence to make my dream a reality! The courses are fantastic, relevant and are constantly being upgraded with new content introduced.
I appreciate the support, knowledge and positive feedback from the Facebook community. You are not alone! The community is very welcoming and supportive as you work towards your Freedom dream."
- Linda Mae Olgivie
"I've been freelancing for almost four years now and have found Freelance University invaluable in developing my skills and building my confidence. The courses and workshops I've taken so far have been packed full of the information I need with no 'fluff'. The tutors are engaging and friendly and are passionate about supporting everyone to succeed. The Facebook group is an invaluable support and learning tool too as worldwide, even with varied experiences, freelancers face similar issues and can offer each other suggestions and advice from different perspectives.
Being a country girl from England and working with small businesses in the UK rural sector, I thought that Freelance University would not be appropriate for me as it's a Canadian/American company. However, I was wrong and should have joined earlier in my freelance journey."
- Sarah Liddle
"Freelance University has it all - courses, support, job listings, community. Even when I don't use it for a while, I know it's there and pretty much anything I need to learn is at my fingertips should I need it. I love the certifications and think they provide a true value for our LinkedIn and resume. It's really one of the best programs out there for anyone interested in online/remote work."
- Sherry Rickmeier
Imagine How Life Will Be if You Can Earn While Working From Home
Imagine the possibilities...
A future that does not depend on the whims of a boss or an organization that may not value (or even realize) your skills. Or the whims of a fickle economy that can turn on a dime.
A future where you can earn what you are worth while working from home or from anywhere else in the world!
And Freelance University can get you started on the path of flexibility, financial independence and location freedom.
We have helped more than 2,000 students walk this path before you. Today, it is your turn.
“Freelance University has taken my business to another level.”
Last week a client told me: I don’t know what you’ve been doing for the past couple of months, but you’re killing it”.
You know the only thing that changed? I registered for Freelance University! Since then, my clients have been giving me more responsibilities!
Every time I have a question about how to handle a situation with a client, or a task, I am confident that I can get the answers in one of the University classes.
I can genuinely say that Freelance University has expanded what I believed was possible. You need to sign up!

"Freelance University really is the best option out there!"
Freelance University has the best model for online training that I have ever seen for VA's. Craig & Kelly raise the bar every year by keeping up with the technology and presenting it to their clients in a clear and concise manner. l love that for a yearly fee, I can take all of the courses offered in the comfort of my office at home or wherever I happened to be.
My motto is “Have laptop, will travel”. Being a VA allows me to live in FL during the winter and the rest of the year in NH. The courses I have taken and added to my skill set are invaluable and the information is up-to-date. The support system is excellent. I can honestly say that I get 100% plus ROI with this program."

You have special strengths. And some superpowers that even you might not know. And it is more than likely that the current work that you do does not utilize those super skills.
It is only natural that you will enjoy your work and earn more if you align what you do to what you are good at.
And that is precisely the first step you will take when you join Freelance University. Based on your personality (for which, we have an effective test), you will be able to choose from seven different freelance paths.
Maybe you are super organized at home. You can be an in-demand virtual assistant.
Or maybe the written word is your jam. Copywriting can be a fulfilling and very lucrative career.
Or maybe you are the person who everyone turns to when a team effort needs to be coordinated at the church. Project Management or Online Business Management can be your real calling.

That is why we have built Freelance University as a place that you can come to whenever you have a doubt or are stuck somewhere.

When we started freelancing online in 2003, there was virtually no support or training for freelancers. We had to figure everything out and learn the hard way. It was tough, but we got there in the end.
We decided to create Freelance University to make things a whole lot easier for you! It’s our mission to help our students create a flexible business, define their work-life balance, and pursue a career aligned with their passions.
At Freelance University, we provide a one-stop learning platform to help freelancers like you develop the right skills to build a thriving freelance business on your terms!
Over the past 8 years, we have had the privilege of training over 2,000 freelancers and we feel like we are just getting warmed-up!
We’re excited to connect with you and we'll see you on the inside!
To Your Success,
Craig & Kelly Cannings
This quick preview shows you exactly what it is like to be a student at Freelance University. You will know exactly what you will get when you sign up.
We are not accountants. But our CPA tells us that the training we take to develop our business normally is categorized as a tax write-off.
Time and again, many of our students have come back to tell us that Freelance University subscription is their best tax write off!
“I LOVE the priceless information and training along with the Facebook community. To me Freelance University is almost a “necessary business expense” (which is tax deductible 😊) and worth every penny. Especially for a new freelance startup, there’s a lot of other “schools” out there, but none compare with this one.”
Paula H.
Freelance University Student
“No matter your industry, Freelance University offers something for you. I work full-time as a digital project manager as well as manage a side hustle as a course creator and etsy shop owner. The courses offered are not only beneficial for up-leveling my personal business, but also as a full-time employee. Even better - these courses are not just theory but actual practical applications.
The community is also amazing. If there are questions everyone is so supportive. Of all my "business expenses", Freelance University is one that is absolutely worth every penny!”
Anabeth Wilson
Freelance University Student
Once again, this is not tax advice. We are just sharing what we have heard from others. Please speak to an experienced professional for your specific case.
Many online courses for freelancers cost up to $5,000 and those courses only teach ONE skill. And often there is no support or community. So, you’re left struggling, trying to figure things out on your own.
And, you will likely not have access to expert guidance or ongoing education and learning like with Freelance University!
At Freelance University, we have been training people like you to become successful freelancers for a very affordable monthly or annual price.
We now have training that takes you right from your first step to identifying your niche, to helping you choose from 37 different freelancing options, to setting up your business, to getting clients!
Phew, quite the mouthful wasn't it?
Here are your options to sign up for Frelenace University.
