The reality

Running a senior freelance business is harder than it looks.

You've put in the years. You have the expertise, the client results, the reputation. And yet, you're still the one explaining your rates. 

Nobody tells you that expertise alone doesn't set your price — positioning does. Without a system behind your experience, even the best consultants stay stuck justifying their value instead of commanding it.

About Elina
Elina Jutelyte, founder of Freelance Business Community
Elina Jutelyte
Founder

In 2016, I left my corporate career to become a freelancer. I quickly realised that running a freelance business takes more than talent and skill — it takes a clear understanding of how business actually works.

For over 8 years I've run the Freelance Business Community, a grassroots initiative from Belgium that has grown into a global movement across 60+ countries — featured in Forbes and recognised as one of the "Top 40 Female Leaders of the Year" by Excellence Talks.

To help freelancers and solopreneuers in their business I organised 6 editions of the month-long online festival (Freelance Business Month) that attracted 5000+ freelancers from all over the world, until at some point I decided that my focus in serving freelancers should go deeper.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this community really for someone like me?+

If you've been freelancing or running a solo business for around 5–10 years, you're exactly who we built this community for.

Most communities are designed for people just getting started. Ours is for professionals who already have an established business and are asking different questions: How do I position myself better? How do I attract higher-value opportunities? How do I build a business that grows without constantly hustling for the next client?

You'll be surrounded by peers who understand those challenges because they're living them too.

What tangible outcomes will I get?+

We can't promise you'll land more clients—and anyone who does should make you skeptical.

What we can promise is a different way of looking at your business.

Inside the community, you'll understand how the different parts of your business influence one another: how your positioning shapes your pricing, how your pricing affects your offers, how your network becomes your strongest marketing channel, and why talking about your work becomes much easier when your business is built around your strengths.

You'll also learn directly from freelancers who are one step ahead of you. Through our workshops and deep dives, experienced experts share exactly how they're building, positioning, pricing, marketing, and growing their businesses—giving you practical insights you can apply to your own.

You'll leave with greater clarity, better decisions, and a stronger business foundation.

Who else is inside?+

Our members are experienced freelancers and solopreneurs from a wide range of industries—from designers and copywriters to consultants, strategists, analysts, developers, coaches, and other independent experts.

Many have built six-figure businesses, while others are on their way there. What they all have in common is a commitment to building sustainable, independent businesses and a willingness to openly share what's working.

This isn't a place to collect contacts. It's a place to build relationships with peers who challenge your thinking, share real experiences, and raise your standards.

What makes this different from free communities or LinkedIn?+

The Freelance Business Community started as a free community.

Over time, we realized that free groups rarely create the conditions for meaningful business conversations. Discussions become broad, promotional, and often dominated by beginner questions.

When we made the community paid, everything changed.

People joined because they were serious about improving their business—not simply consuming free content. Conversations became deeper. Members became more invested. Feedback became more thoughtful. Instead of chasing algorithms or endless scrolling, we focus on helping independent professionals build stronger businesses together.

How much time does it require?+

As much—or as little—as you want.

We encourage members to join discussions, workshops, and meetups, but we also know client work comes first.

If you only have an hour a week, that's enough. Every workshop and meetup is recorded, so you can catch up whenever it suits you. Participate live when you can, watch on demand when you can't, and engage at the pace that works for your business.

The community is designed to support your business—not become another obligation in your calendar.

What if I join and it's not the right fit?+

We want you to feel confident about joining.

That's why we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. Join the community, explore the conversations, attend the workshops, and see if it delivers the value you're looking for.

If within the first 30 days you feel this isn't the right environment for you, simply let us know and we'll refund your membership.

No complicated process. No questions asked.
