Before $200KF  I was really confused on what I was supposed to do to get clients, because every client I got was only from referrals and people who I know. A big win from $200KF is that last week I sent my first campaign and got my first positive reply and it was like, oh my God!!! I was really surprised. I didn't really hope that much for my first campaign, but then, in just five hours, I got my first positive reply from a potential client! I've since then already had a call with them and they're interested in working together. This is one of the best investments that I made.

Before $200KF  I was really confused what I was supposed to do to get clients because every client I got was only from referrals and people who I know.  The biggest win early in the $200KF is I saw myself making something for myself, and I could see the result. And then the second one was, last week I got my first positive reply and it was like, oh my God!!! I was really surprised.

Prior to $200k Freelancer, I'd been struggling so damn hard to come up with potential customer pain points because I've always been kinda "away from the money" as a developer. But after doing the "Problem Hypothesis" exercise in $200k Freelancer, I can now gauge how good/bad a problem is with relative ease. I am super pumped and I feel like you've just given me the keys to a Lamborghini. I can finally glimpse a path towards scaling my freelancing now, and I'm looking forward to getting my mind blown further on in the course. Thank you for this amazing in-depth course!

Zach, you are a genuis. the whole offer hypothesis prompt ... epic. To be specific, there are a gazillion academies out there teaching about building your freelance business, but the level of thought (and brain cells) you've put into this is not just incredible, it's inspiring. 🫡 Only someone who really knows the frustration a freelancer goes through because of not finding those elusive 'good fit clients', not getting paid their worth could have done this. I can't wait to explore what's ahead. Most courses & communities I've paid for to solve this are basically just 100 hours of recorded content that's more like a summary of every marketing book outside + a slack community that's a ghost town and feels like being thrown breadcrumbs at the price of rubies. But while I am going through each video here, I feel like I am literally being handheld. I have so many emotions (totally natural btw) doing these exercises, many tiny A-ha moments, followed by a lot of head scratching, but I guess I completely trust you now as someone who has walked this path himself and has our best interest at heart. So thank you man. And I am sure this has taken up a big chunk of your life, but this is going to earn you so many fans.

Zach – and $200k Freelancer – has been a game changer for me, in terms of mindset, clarity, offers, & overcoming imposter syndrome. I have a lot of varied skills, and I've been struggling with knowing where to focus them to create an offer that people really want, and that I'd really enjoy working on. $200k Freelancer has been really helpful here. Zach really gave me the license to not only understand which of my skills are the most valuable, but more than that, to also dial into what I like to do. He's really good at giving you clarity. I feel like every time I hop off the phone with him, I have a better idea for my direction, where I'm going. And more so than that, he gives you, like, permission to be yourself and to do what feels right to you, which is really important to me. He also is really good at building systems. I think that's a really powerful thing: visualizing and seeing these lead gen systems so that you can have a real tangible way to get more leads — to generate leads without it feeling like a huge effort. I've spent a lot of time on manual one-by-one cold outreach in the past, and it can be tough sometimes to send even ten emails a day with that approach. Whereas the system Zach has built and engineered is really powerful in the way that it helps you scale that cold outreach, and turns it into something you can actually control. As much as I love social media, it can be a bit of a long game to build. Whereas when it comes to something like cold outreach, I know that if I can dial that in, I can really get outsized results from the effort I put in. And that's what Zach is helping us do in this 200K Freelancer course. I highly recommend $200K Freelancer. Thank you, Zach and the DYF team. Looking forward to more.

The 200K freelancer course has provided a system for me (as a software developer) to find customers who can use my skills, find ways for me to help them with my specific skills, all the way through to actually marketing to them. It's still early days, so we haven't quite gotten to the end of the course yet, but so far it's been very helpful in clarifying my thoughts and selecting potential ways for me to help customers.

I really like $200k Freelancer because these are proven strategies that work today, not old strategies that don't work anymore. And there's a very thorough process to guide you from setting up an offer to creating your client acquisition system. Zach's level of care and attention is really valuable, and it's clear he wants you to get a huge ROI from $200k Freelancer. If you are serious about growing your business and you want to get new clients, I highly recommend signing up.

I was looking at like I used like a Trello board to manage my leads and I'm considering like the everyone's lead philosophy and like moving them through like warm, hot, cold and a Trello board. But the problem with the Trello board is at some point it starts to get out of control and managing. I like to see it visually, like I'm moving somebody across but I had always thought about doing what you did in Notion with a relational database and having everything in there. Business in a box thing is perfect because I can customize it. Real easy to like fields that were more relevant to me. But I really liked it because it's like exactly what I was looking for. And if I can take a notion, I'm not like a notion pro, but I know you could have that different, like Kanban view and take Kanban views on like the leads.

I enjoyed learning how to price my services with anchor-based pricing versus value, how to present myself better to clients (consultant vs. freelancer), and how to create a proposal that stands out from competitors. I've also been reading the articles available on the Double Your Freelancing website alongside this course, which has helped me develop an even better understanding of how to price services, what I should focus on, how I should manage my days and weeks, etc.

I started the Double Your Rates Toolkit with low expectations, thinking that it would be something similar to a university lecture—lots of good ideas but no real action points to get started. But boy, am I glad that I was wrong. I'm not even at the end of this course, and I've already managed to transform my fears of sales and cold outreach into something I'm excited to do. I can now clearly see the gaps in my offering and can't wait to start improving by upgrading my skills and growing with the clients I get.

I joined the Double Your Rates Toolkit, and I have to say... I was not expecting the first phase of it to go so fast! Not that it's been "too fast" or anything – and it's definitely taken some time investment to work through – but I've already gotten way more insight and information than I was even expecting to. I also feel like the price was a steal. I feel like I've committed a crime for how much I'm getting out of this for what I paid. 😂

I'm doing the Double Your Rates Toolkit and this is f****** great, it's really well put together. Zach and Brennan's stuff feels a lot better & more professional than a lot of the hyped-up stuff on the market that lacks substance or real-world experience. This is legit and they're not trying to oversell it, spam you, or make it sound better than it is. I've been really enjoying it.

I just joined a couple days ago, and DYRT is amazing so far! I’m getting SO MUCH value just by running through the ChatGPT prompts in Phase 1 twice (with two different service categories) and adding some tweaks of my own to the prompts. I'm getting clarity on how to communicate my offering & value now — I’ve had a TON of anxiety around this part of freelancing, and DYRT is helping so much with that. I’m feeling confident and energized. Sending many thanks to Zach & the DYF team! 👏🏻

I used the proposal structure in the free email course to show that I heard the customer, stated the value proposition for them, and then showed them how it could be taken further. They not only went for the originally scoped work ($180K), they signed up for the proposed extras too ($120K). That's a good return on investment for me!

For me, the benefit of having an accountability buddy is less about the "accountability" part, and more about the "buddy" part. When my buddy and I do our check-ins, we talk a lot about all sorts of other things outside of specifically what happened in the last week: What we're struggling on, what we're not sure about, or even just the weather in our respective countries. It's really helpful having that community connection, a sounding board, and insight into someone else's journey so you can learn from each other. Also... sometimes saying something out loud can go a long way to addressing your roadblocks.

I enjoy having an accountability buddy because I don't feel "alone" in the journey. Not saying I would otherwise but it's kind of a different feeling to be in a community of nice people and actually have one person you meet with on a weekly basis in order to take some time and talk about the journey. Especially when things like target audience, field, etc. match. It's hard to know what I would have not be doing without an accountability partner but it seems to be a bit easier to actually do some things with a partner. It's helpful having a regular and structured nudge in the direction you want to go.

I really enjoyed the goal setting workshop, especially Zach’s perspective on setting goals in all areas of life, not just work.   One of the things that was really interesting about the workshop was thinking about the idea of “energy” as a category of goals within your life.   Prior to this workshop, I did some end of year 3-month planning and “finish strong sprint” and it gave me a sense of 7 core areas of your life — and hearing Zach’s “energy,” “work,” and “love” categories helped me to group things and get clarity about those 7 areas.   This workshop made me realize that 99% of my planning has been for work, and while I try to fit in time for other things, the other things are not planned, so it's easy for them to fall off the radar and not happen.   So I really appreciated Zach’s perspective of holistic life-as-a-whole goal setting.

The goal setting workshop was great. Having a framework that encompasses energy, work, and love has been incredibly beneficial. Without that, my goal setting focus would have probably solely been on work-related stuff. However, Zach's approach has illuminated the importance of including all aspects of life in my planning. For instance, I hadn't considered setting a goal for adequate sleep, but recognizing its role in maintaining my energy levels has made it clear that it's essential.

As someone new to goal setting, the idea of tackling Zach's goal setting prompts on my own would have been daunting. Without the structured format of this workshop, I doubt I would have dedicated the necessary time to thoroughly work through each one. But I'm so glad I did, especially in the format of the workshop — I appreciated that we went through things together, but that there was also the emphasis on individual reflection. The workshop's structure, which encouraged us to explore these questions together, yet allowed space for personal reflection, was something I really appreciated.

I bought this course nine years ago, in 2014, and while it was helpful to my little freelance business at the time, I didn't fully incorporate it into my business before deciding to take a full-time job. Three jobs and some miscellaneous freelance work later, I am finally getting started on the course again. With a potential client call scheduled for today and knowing I would need to provide a quote soon, DYF came immediately to mind. I was thrilled to see that DYF not only still exists and that you have honored your "lifetime access" promise from nine years ago, but that you have updated and improved the content and the interface. I'm excited to get started! Thanks, Brennan, Zach, Laura, and Team DYF.

Zach is an incredibly engaged and thoughtful mentor who truly cares about this community and everyone in it. His transparency around building the community and his lessons learned in real time provide a sense of camaraderie, particularly when combined with his method of guidance, which is more about asking questions than firing off directives for his students to blindly follow. He also leverages the expertise of each member so the community can benefit from one another in addition to him and the DYF team. All in all, the membership is worth exponentially more than it costs, and I'd highly, highly recommend it to anyone in the freelancing, consulting, fractional executive, or advisor space who wants to develop a more profitable, consistent, and fulfilling business.

In the first week of joining the DYF community, Zach helped me think critically about my lead generation approach, specifically writing for the right people. It's a bit early to say how this will pan out, but simply having a community to bounce these ideas off is a game-changer for me. I've achieved decent success by myself, but I'm quickly realising that I'll get further, quicker, with the DYF community.

I've already gotten a huge ROI on my memberships to both the Accelerator community and DYF University, and would definitely recommend that anyone join who wants to take their freelance business or agency to the next level. Be warned: Zach's gonna kick you in the butt to work on the important stuff, even when it's not the "fun stuff". You've been warned, proceed at your own risk. 😂

My price? $2,000. That’s like 10x. Again, woot! And it’s because I was able to anchor my cost against real, deliverable, obvious VALUE.

Our first retainer came when we approached our best client that was paying us for every hour we spent and converted them into a client that treats us like a trusted advisor and never even sees hourly breakdowns. Our role expanded, our influence increased and our billing has become extremely regular. We even managed to switch the client to a prepaid model. This change has single-handedly transformed our business from feast-and-famine into one of expansion and having a reliable profit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of time commitment does the community require each week?

The time commitment is flexible and depends on your personal needs and goals.

Some people like it for the accountability and goal setting.

Others like it for the office hours, which is a 15-minute commitment whenever you want to come, + prep time.

Others like skimming the Q&A, wins, and recordings at their leisure.

Others like it as an "insurance policy" — knowing that they can pop in and ask Zach a question if they have a tricky question for a project or proposal, which is the lowest time commitment, as you need it.

If you want to truly transform your business, it's less about the time commitment of the community, and more about the implementation of what you're learning. To get the most out of your membership, I recommend setting aside 5-10 hours a week for working ON your business, vs. just IN it, and implementing on the homework Zach gives you. That's where you'll see the really huge returns.

What’s the difference between the Accelerator and DYF University?

DYF Accelerator is our premium community that gives you the support, guidance, and accountability you need to get out of your own way and grow an awesome freelance business / agency.

Whereas DYF University is our “all access pass” membership to all of our past and future courses for growing your freelance business / agency.

The Accelerator is best for freelancers who need support and accountability.

DYF University is best for freelancers who don't care about community or support, and just want the education.

Pro tip: if both sound good to you, take advantage of our bundle while it's still around to get access to both + extra savings!

What if I can’t make the live sessions?

If you can't make the live sessions, no worries!

All sessions will be recorded and made available to members within the Accelerator community for you to review at your convenience.

We also transcribe all sessions so that you can easily search the transcripts and find support on exactly what you need help with.

How long will I have access to the community?

You will have access to the DYF Accelerator community for as long as you keep your subscription active.

Is this community worth the money?

I mean, I guess I'm a little biased, but I say "hell yes!"

Think about it...

If the support & education you get here enables you to charge even a few dollars more per hour...

Or close even one extra project...

Or push yourself outside your comfort zone to implement some game-changing business growth strategy...

How long will it take for your membership to pay itself off?

(Probably not very long at all)

Never mind the fact that the skills you learn here will permanently level you up for the rest of your life.

Now that I say it, I think it's virtually impossible for you to not get an ROI on your membership. 😉

And remember, you can easily cancel anytime and you'll also get a money-back guarantee, so you can give it a try for a month totally risk-free and make the decision for yourself!

Who’s the DYF Accelerator for?

The DYF Accelerator community is for freelancers and agency owners who are ready to grow their businesses — and put in the work.

The members who get the most out of the community are the ones who keep pushing the edges out of their comfort zone, and commit to breaking free of old patterns.

If you want an "easy button" you can press to totally transform your biz, this isn't it. (Nothing is)

But if you're ready for a change and you're sick of the status quo, the accountability and support you get from here could be a game-changer for you.

If you're committed to learning, improving, and taking action, this community is for you.

Who’s it NOT for?

Change takes work.

It also takes TIME.

If you're not planning to commit to your business for the long-term, and you're not willing to work at growing the business of your dreams for at least 6 months, you're likely not going to feel like you got the transformation you were hoping for.

I’m a new freelancer. Will this be helpful for me?

Yes!

I WISH something like this had been available to me when I started freelancing.

It would have enabled me to build a profitable business much faster.

Not to mention saved me $10,000+ in expensive mistakes and at least 500 hours of wasted time going down rabbit holes and "figuring things out the hard way."

(And it probably would have cut at least 3 years off of my success timeline, too.)

Being surrounded by people a little further along the path than you is a huge hack for accelerating your growth and avoiding common pitfalls.

I’m still working a job and haven’t yet transitioned to freelancing full time. Will this be helpful for me?

Yes!

In my personal experience, the hardest part of working a job when wanting to freelance is that you're surrounded by people who don't "get you."

It's easy to feel like you're crazy or unreasonable for wanting more and not readily settling for the status quo.

By joining the DYF Accelerator, you're getting plugged into a community of people who "get you," and you'll be inspired and motivated by seeing everyone else making progress.

If you're still working a job and gearing up to go freelance, we recommend you pair the Accelerator with a DYF University membership to ensure you're building a solid base of knowledge before you strike out on your own.

(Pro tip: join the bundled membership of DYF University + DYF Accelerator for extra savings!)

And remember, we have a money-back guarantee, so if you join and it turns out you can't balance your job and your education at the same time, you're covered.

I’m an experienced agency owner. Will this be helpful for me?

Yep!

As an agency owner, you likely have your attention pulled in a bunch of different directions and have constant demands on your time pulling you away from the things that truly move the needle.

Being plugged into a community is an investment into yourself and your business, and will help you keep a pulse on the stuff that really matters in your business, instead of you endlessly drowning in project fulfillment and working "in the business" rather than ON it.

We have a money-back guarantee and you can easily cancel at any time, so why not give it a try and see what impact it has on your business?

I’m not in your “typical” DYF audiences of designers, developers, or copywriters. Will I still find this helpful?

Yep!

The DYF Accelerator community focuses on the business side of freelancing, which is applicable across various industries and professions.

You can still benefit from the support, guidance, and accountability provided by the community, even if you don't share a profession with the other members.

In fact, by surrounding yourself with industries that aren't yours, you're getting a competitive edge in your industry, because most businesspeople are busy copying those immediately around them and consequently lose out on opportunities to implement things that work extremely well in other industries but aren't practiced in their own.

We have a money-back guarantee and you can easily cancel at any time, so why not give it a try and see what impact it has on your business?

What happens after I buy?

After buying, you’ll get immediate access to the DYF Circle community, the past Accelerator Session vault, etc.

You'll receive an email with a video tour that walks you through the different features of the community, and you'll be able to immediately sign into the community and start forging connections with your fellow freelancers and agency owners.

You'll also get immediate access to the upcoming members-only events calendar so that you can RSVP for the next office hours.

Is it really risk-free and 100% satisfaction guaranteed?

It sure is!

We're confident that the DYF Accelerator will be huge for you and your business.

In addition to allowing you to easily cancel your membership at any time, we're also offering a 100% money-back guarantee on your first month of membership. 

Simply enroll in the DYF Accelerator and if you don't feel you've gotten more out of it than you paid, email us at hello@doubleyourfreelancing.com within 30 days and we'll cancel your membership and refund your first month.

The "Why" behind the DYF Accelerator


Hey, DYF Co-Owner Zach here. 👋

I recently checked in with one of our DYF students to see how he was doing.

Here's what he said...

"It feels like I'm in a good-ish place, but I'm not seeing progress, so that's frustrating.

I'm still digging to get to the root cause but it's most likely some emotional self-sabotage. (i.e. impostor syndrome).

This is where I think being part of a community really comes in handy."

Does his situation sound familiar to you?


Where imposter syndrome comes from

For me, I've noticed that imposter syndrome comes as a result of pushing myself out of my comfort zone.

It comes in the period immediately following a radical mindset shift or new trajectory.

It's the "rubber meeting the road" when I go out and start trying to make my new dreams a reality and need to expand my belief systems in order to be successful with it.

Maybe you're familiar with Joseph Campbell and his concept of "The hero's journey."

(If you're not, you've surely experienced it first hand in, like, every movie you've ever watched.)

The way I see it, imposter syndrome is essentially the second, "Initiation", phase of the classic hero's journey.

Initiation. In the initiation section, the hero enters the “new world,” where they must begin facing a series of trials until they reach the climax of the story: the main obstacle or enemy.

Here, the hero must put into practice everything he has learned on his journey to overcome the obstacle.

Campbell talks about the hero attaining some kind of prize for his troubles—this can be a physical token or “elixir”, or just good, old-fashioned wisdom. (Or both.)

The "Initiation" phase of Joseph Campbell's hero's journey

Imposter syndrome is the "dragon you have to slay" in order to "get the treasure."

And you know what I've learned?

Slaying dragons is a lot easier when you've got people at your side who've slayed similar dragons before and can tell you the ways they were able to avoid the fire and whatnot.

(This metaphor is getting tenuous.)

The point is... 

When you adopt a new mindset shift, the hardest part is putting it into action and cementing it into your reality.

The DYF Accelerator community is designed to help with that.

It'll give you a consistent source of...

  • Accountability
  • Community
  • Insight into what's worked well for others

If you're like most DYF students, when you're actively going through our courses that you enrolled in, you get excited thinking of all the possibilities.

...But then you go off to start implementing, and you're faced with a large gap between your current reality and the reality you want to create.

And depending on the size of that gap, it feels like an overwhelmingly large chasm.

That's where the Accelerator comes in.

The Accelerator will help you bridge the gap between your current reality and actually implementing all this new stuff you're learning.

It'll also make your freelancing life less lonely.

Loneliness and Isolation as a Freelancer

I've been running my freelance consultancy for 14 years now.

(Though most of my time is spent on DYF at this point.)

I also get depressed once or twice a year – pretty much every year – like clockwork.

It's honestly a bit baffling how it comes on so strongly and hits me out of nowhere. 

"How TF is it that I can live a life with so much time freedom, schedule control, financial security, and interesting work, and *still* get depressed like this???"

— Indignant depressed Zach

It feels unfair when it happens, but zooming out, it also makes total sense. 

We humans are tribal animals who evolved to be part of a community.

And as an online worker, I spend allllllll day...

Eeeeeevery day...

Looking at a screen.

And making decisions by myself.

In my isolated apartment.

...Cut off from the world and devoid of any deep sense of community or belonging.

(I guess this is why so many people were keen to get back to working in the office once COVID restrictions started to ease...)

The times when I feel best are when I'm connected with others who I feel "get me."

And I think that speaks to what's maybe the hardest part of setting out on some new path in life...

The loneliness.

When you decide to shake up your status quo and cast off into the unknown, you shrink the pool of people who "get you."

And when it's just you in isolation, it opens a big opportunity for self-doubt to creep in...

Making little whispers in your head about how this won't work for you, and you were crazy to think it would...

...Until one of the voices of fear in your head talks you into turning back.

Without having another voice in the mix who "gets you" and can come in and say, "no, you're not crazy, you can do this," it's all-too-easy to pack things in and quit — even when you were so close to reaching your goals if only you'd kept going just a little bit longer.

Enter the DYF Accelerator

The purpose of the DYF Accelerator is to plug you in to a community of people who "get you" and who are on a similar path to you, to help you...

  • Grow your business
  • Remove roadblocks in your path
  • Be held accountable to your goals

All while helping you feel a little less alone in the process of growing your business. 🙂


And remember, there's a 100% risk-free guarantee, so you have nothing to lose.
