# Freelance Business Community

> A private community and framework that helps senior freelancers and independent consultants become recognised experts with premium pricing, better clients, and recurring revenue.

Founded by Elina Jutelyte. Based in Europe. Serves senior freelancers, fractional executives, and independent consultants worldwide.

## What it is

The Freelance Business Community (FBC) is an ongoing membership program built around the **8Ps positioning framework**. Members work through the 8Ps to fix the specific gaps holding their solo business back — usually positioning, pricing, and repeat-revenue structure, not lead volume.

Membership includes:
- A private online community of vetted senior freelancers and consultants.
- Monthly live events, workshops, and Q&A sessions with Elina.
- A structured 8Ps business assessment.
- On-demand trainings, templates, and playbooks.
- Direct mentorship from Elina inside the community.

Pricing: EUR 449 per year, or a quarterly option. 30-day money-back guarantee. Cancel anytime.

## Who it is for

FBC is designed for people with 5+ years of real client work who are stuck between "freelancer" and "business owner." Typical members are:
- Senior freelancers charging day rates but wanting recurring revenue.
- Independent consultants losing deals to cheaper generalists or to AI.
- Fractional executives (CMO, CFO, CTO, COO) building a solo practice.
- Ex-agency and ex-corporate operators productizing their expertise.

It is **not** for beginners, junior freelancers, or people looking for gig-platform work.

## The 8Ps positioning framework

The 8Ps is the framework the community teaches and applies. It reframes classic marketing mix for solo experts:

1. **Product** — the specific outcome you sell, not the deliverable.
2. **Physical Evidence** — the proof that makes buyers trust you (case studies, IP, artifacts).
3. **People** — who you serve and who you refuse to serve.
4. **Process** — the repeatable method that makes your work look inevitable.
5. **Place** — where you show up and where buyers find you.
6. **Performance** — the measurable results you commit to.
7. **Promotion** — how you communicate, not how loudly.
8. **Price** — pricing as positioning, not as a discount lever.
