Hello, I am Elina – Founder of the Freelance Business Community. My freelance journey started in 2015 when I signed my first contract as an independent event producer. Soon I realised that no matter how independent you are as a professional, you need the collective intelligence and the network to support your freelance activity. I wanted to connected with other freelancers, learn how they do their jobs and find customers. This is how the Freelance Business Community was created. FBC since then has grown to a global organisation that not only connecting freelancers with each other and with potential job-givers via events, but also took a role of inspiring independent consultants to run their freelance business smarter and more effective.
