Scale your business with 1:1 freelance coaching
Intensive coaching for freelancers who want to make more money, systemize, and scale their business.
Does this sound familiar?
“I’m working 50 hours a week on my freelance business. I’ve no idea how to scale this without losing my mind.”
“I started freelancing for the freedom, but now I don’t have any. I’m overworked and haven’t got the freedom I’d imagined.”
“I’m at the mercy of my clients—their schedules, their work, and their budgets. I’m stuck.”
“I don’t feel confident charging the rates I think I’m worth.”
“My portfolio is lacking and I’m struggling to craft pitches that get a response. My emails go unanswered.”
Freelance business coaching clients are more confident in setting their rates, have robust processes, and minimize the hours they spend on their business—all while increasing revenue.
Tracy Rawlinson, freelance writer
“Coaching from Elise has undoubtedly been the best decision I’ve made to further my freelance career. I’ve grown in confidence, now make better business decisions, and have gone from charging £20 per project to over £900.”

Introducing…
If you’re a freelancer with a very specific problem to solve, these 45-minute coaching sessions are ideal.
Don’t continue trying to figure out everything yourself, taking generic online courses, or risking client relationships with your trial-and-error experiments. Spend 45 minutes in a 1:1 coaching session and come away with a detailed action plan on how to reach your goals—no matter how scary they might be right now.
You’ll get:
One 45-minute private coaching session to brainstorm your goals, current challenges, and solutions
A recording of the call to rewatch as often as you’d like
An action plan after the call to keep you on track
Two weeks of email/Slack support for any follow-up questions
The investment: $299 per session.

“"Elise's coaching changed the way I approach freelance work to maximize my productivity. It also gave me the steps and confidence I needed to take my freelance career to the next level.”
Meet your freelance coach
That’s me! I’m Elise, a freelance writer that started my business at the age of 17. By the age of 21, I was turning over six figures as a freelance business owner.
In 2020, I co-founded Peak Freelance, a membership community for freelance writers. I’m also the owner of Creative Class, a course that teaches the business side of freelancing.
And, the best part: I’m not a coach that’s left the industry to teach others. I’m still freelancing, working with clients, and know what’s going on in the freelance world.
In other words: I’m actively doing the things I teach.
Astley Cervania
“The session has helped ease a lot of the doubts I had. I also really appreciate the action plan you sent over. It's a perfect summary of our call and it's made it clear what I need to work on."
Is freelance business coaching right for me?
You have the foundation of a freelance business already set-up, but you’re unsure on how to scale.
You have a small roster of clients that pay you for your work (even if that is a small amount.)
You’ve exhausted the DIY approach to growing a freelance business.
You’re not afraid of setting big goals and working hard to reach them.
You’re ready to learn and have an open mind to experiment.
You know that investing in your business pays dividends in the long run.
Choose to walk away with…
✓ Confidence to raise your rates
✓ Systems and processes to scale at ease
✓ Your freedom (and sanity) back
✓ Regular cash flow
✓ Bylines, projects, and clients you’re proud of
✓ A pitching process that works
✓ Clear goals and targets to keep you on track
✓ A solution to burnout
“Taking freelance writing courses and joining writing communities have been helpful, but Elise’s support, encouragement (and patience) have made me progress so much in so little time.”
— Tracy Rawlinson, freelance writer

Freelance business coaching is an investment that pays dividends.
You’ll make your money back (and more) by implementing the recommendations you get in each coaching session—not to mention the bonus templates/courses you’ll have access to for a whole year. And, because it’s professional training, you can expense however many sessions you take.*

Freelance coaching FAQs
-
I’m a freelance writer by trade, but the concepts of running a freelance business are similar across various industries. If you’re a freelance designer, marketer, illustrator—or any other kind of freelancer that works predominantly online—the coaching sessions are for you.
-
Very. You’re in the driving seat for all coaching sessions. Together, we’ll explore the things you’ve already tried, what you’re struggling with, and what success looks like for you. You’ll get a personalized action plan on how to get there.
-
The first step in freelance coaching is to choose a time, complete the questionnarie, and book your call. Please be as thorough as you can in the questionnaire—it’ll mean I can prepare for our session and we can skip over less important things, instead focusing on high impact business decisions.
-
Absolutely! While I try and work through as many challenges as we can on the initial call, sometimes it’s impossible to get through everything in one hour. There is the option to purchase a block of sessions at a discounted rate. We can discuss this after your first session.
