✅ Included with your membership

🖥️ Access to ALL past and future DYF courses  ($2,000+ value and growing all the time)

The Long-Term Vision: Our long-term vision is to be able to quiz you and ask about your goals, challenges, and where you're at now, and present you with a personalized and comprehensive roadmap of courses you can work through and follow all the way to your dream business.


The Current State: It'll take time to flesh out that huge personalized "course roadmap."

✅ Included with your membership

🔨 Live Workshops ($247 value each)

These are live workshops that provide accountability and guidance to put a specific strategy in practice RIGHT NOW. (Value $247 each)


As freelancers, it can be all-too-easy to ignore that big pile of "things that I really *should* do for my business, but just aren't all that urgent" — things like honing your onboarding, creating funnels, building SOPs, etc.


These workshops are the answer to this.


They're live events that combine education with accountability and live implementation to get you moving.

✅ Included with your membership

🏛️ Vault of all past workshops

You'll also get access to the recordings and bonus materials of all the past workshops so that you can implement them on your own time. (Value $247 each)

✅ Included with your membership

👷‍♀️ Access to DYF "beta courses"

Participate & learn from courses as they're being created, and get your questions answered live + help shape the final framework for the course.


WHY: We believe that the best courses are sourced from collective experience, not just one specific person's experience.


Our course creation flow at DYF looks like this...


  1. Create a "beta course" and teach it live with initial students in one-hour sessions (+ live Q&A)
  2. Hone the content and framework based on the real-world experiences of the students implementing the concepts in their businesses
  3. Once the beta course is completely taught, augment the curriculum with real-world student experiences
  4. Add expert insights through targeted interviews with freelancers and agency owners at the tops of their fields
  5. Once the framework is finalized and the "bugs are squashed", re-shoot the core course content and release it as a polished "full course"

These beta courses are our way of giving you access to valuable raw content early on, without making you wait until the course is totally polished for you to start reaping the benefits.

✅ Included with your membership

🤖 Access to the DYF Course Companion

Our smart automated accountability tool that keeps you on track with your goals.

✅ Included with your membership

❤️ Cancel anytime & risk-free money-back guarantee

Feel confident knowing that you'll get a huge ROI from your membership.

What courses & training content do I get with DYF University?


As an early adopter, you get access to all of our new members-only level-up benefits (such as beta course content, workshops, etc.) as well as all of our past and future courses.

Educational content you'll gain instant access to immediately upon joining:

Course — $997 Value

The Blueprint — $997 Value

Our flagship "get clients coming to you" course is great for learning how to...

✅ Hone a compelling service offering

✅ Build automated lead generation systems

✅ Get out of the "always needing to go out and find new clients" treadmill

Course — $297 Value

Double Your Freelancing Rate — $297 Value

Our flagship "pricing and sales for freelancers" course is great for learning how to...

✅ Reposition your services to enable you to raise your rates

✅ Raise yourself to "expert status" in the eyes of your clients and be treated with more trust and respect

✅ Create better proposals and close more deals

Course — $597 Value

Mastering Project Roadmaps — $597 Value

A typical built-out freelancer/agency lead flow pipeline looks like...

Lead -> email course -> nurture -> book free 20-min call -> sell on paid roadmapping -> sell on full engagement

As you can probably guess, this course perfectly compliments The Blueprint by guiding you through the later parts of that flow.

Psssst....

Good news! You get access to discounted "Pioneer's Pricing!"

Currently, DYF University is still "early days." 

We've got some big ambitions for where we want to take it in our quest to build out a comprehensive and personalized educational roadmap...

But it's not there yet.

By joining now, you're locking in a low price for life (until cancelled) as a "thank you" for joining early on and being an early pioneer.

As we continue to add more courses to the membership site, we will gradually raise the price until it's at the $300/mo price.

Our formula for calculating the monthly price is...

Total Course Value as One-Off Purchases * 7.5% = Monthly DYF University price (capped at $300/mo)

So for example, as I'm writing this (May 6, 2023), we've got about $2,000 worth of courses in DYF University, so...

$2,000 value * 7.5% = $150/mo

Thanks for "blazing this trail" with us, you gorgeous pioneer!

Looking forward to seeing you at the next live learning event 😊

Our 100% Risk-Free Money-Back Guarantee

We're confident that DYF University 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

I’m a past customer. Will I lose access to my courses?

No!

All past customers will retain lifetime access to whatever courses they've already purchased.

By enrolling in DYF University, members essentially "rent access to everything," sorta like paying for Netflix vs. buying something on DVD.

Even if you sign up for Netflix and stream a movie you already bought on DVD, it's not like some Netflix staff member comes over to your house and incinerates your DVD. Same deal here. 😅

If you choose to join DYF University and later cancel your membership, you'll still retain your lifetime access to any courses you purchased as one-offs outside of the University membership.

The big benefits of DYF University for past course customers are our beta courses and monthly Implementation Intensives.

You also lock in your low monthly price by joining now, and your early adopter financial support enables us to dedicate maximum time and resources to building out our vision for our comprehensive and personalized course framework to fill in all the "content gaps" between wherever you are now and your dream business.

Remember, we have a money-back guarantee, so why not give it a try for a month and see how much you enjoy the ongoing value of the beta courses and Implementation Intensives?

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 are "beta courses?"

Beta courses allow you to participate & learn from courses as they're being created, and get your questions answered live + help shape the final framework for the course.

WHY: We believe that the best courses are sourced from collective experience, not just one specific person's experience.


Our course creation flow at DYF looks like this...


  1. Create a "beta course" and teach it live with initial students in one-hour sessions (+ live Q&A)
  2. Hone the content and framework based on the real-world experiences of the students implementing the concepts in their businesses
  3. Once the beta course is completely taught, augment the curriculum with real-world student experiences
  4. Add expert insights through targeted interviews with freelancers and agency owners at the tops of their fields
  5. Once the framework is finalized and the "bugs are squashed", re-shoot the core course content and release it as a polished "full course"

These beta courses are our way of giving you access to valuable raw content early on, without making you wait until the course is totally polished for you to start reaping the benefits.

How long will I have access to the courses?

You'll have access to our entire catalog of courses and bonus trainings for as long as you keep your subscription active.

If you purchased any courses as one-offs outside of your University membership, you will retain lifetime access to those courses, even if you enroll in DYF University today and later decide to cancel.

Remember, we have a money-back guarantee, so why not give it a try for a month and see how much you enjoy the ongoing value of our entire course catalog, along with beta courses and Implementation Intensives?

Is it true that I get to keep this special “Early Adopter” discount price for LIFE?

Yep!

We really appreciate your early support; it's going to allow us to dedicate a huge amount of time and resources to building out our "grand vision" of a complete and personalized education framework that takes any freelancer from newbie to dream business.

For as long as you keep your subscription active, we promise we will never raise the price on you — you get access to this huge early adopter discount for LIFE.

(Note: if you cancel your membership and later want to re-join, you'll no longer have access to this early adopter price.)

What kind of time commitment do the courses require each week?

It's totally up to you! 

The more time you invest, the sooner you'll get results.

But even if you only invest an hour or two a week, that consistent time investment will have you tapped into the power of "compounding results over time," which has the power to dramatically transform your business.

I would say that at a minimum, it'd be best if you could commit at least 1 hour per week to your improvement and education — it'll be hard to see results if you're not able to do that.

(Pro tip: even 15 minutes of education per day listening to the audio of our courses while commuting, pooping, etc. really adds up and puts you over that "at least one hour per week" threshold!)

Is this membership worth the money?

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

Think about it...

If what you learn here enables you to charge even a few dollars more per hour...

Or close even one extra project...

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

(Probably not very long at all)

Never mind the fact that what you learn in DYF University permanently levels 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 also have 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 DYF University for?

DYF University is for freelancers and agency owners who are sick of crappy, low-paying clients, and who aren't willing to settle for the status quo.

It's a good fit for you if you're ready to prioritize leveling up, and you're willing to keep an open mind to learning new things and approaching your business in a new way.

Our most successful students are the ones who are ready to invest in themselves and willing to get out of their comfort zones – even if only little-by-little – to try new things that might sound a little "scary" or uncomfortable.

(And remember, we also have the DYF Accelerator community if you need some extra support to help you get out of your comfort zone!)

Who’s it NOT for?

DYF University has the power to transform your life and business, but not if you never use it. 😂

The knowledge you're about to gain will allow you to shortcut years of stress and wasted time...

And thousands of dollars of missed opportunities and expensive mistakes...

But it still requires your time and implementation.

If you're not willing to invest at least an hour per week into building a better future for yourself, DYF University probably isn't a good fit for you right now.

(Pro tip: even 15 minutes of education per day listening to the audio of our courses while commuting, pooping, etc. really adds up and puts you over that "at least one hour per week" threshold!)

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.)

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

Yes!

In fact, you're in the strongest position already to start this right now.

Many freelancers wait until they've quit their job and are running out of savings to start investing in their education.

This is a huge mistake.

By investing into your education now, while you're still working a job, you're going to learn how you can build your business the right way, and set yourself up for maximum success.

I recommend that you follow this flow:

  1. Enroll in DYF University
  2. Implement what you're learning while still at your job
  3. And then quit your job to a wildly successful freelance side hustle (or at least with an informed & rock-solid plan of how you'll grow your business, if you're not keen on side hustling)

And remember, we have a money-back guarantee, so if you choose to enroll 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!

Our courses are extremely helpful for newbies and experienced folks alike.

For example, The Blueprint is a must for any agency owner, as it will teach you how to build an incoming stream of project leads, which enables you to safely and profitably scale.

Additionally, we'll be adding more advanced courses over time, and the Implementation Intensives will help you implement things in your business that you might be putting off.

While most of our customers are newer freelancers and many of our courses will be beginner-oriented, we'll be releasing tons of high-value stuff for experienced agency owners too.

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!

Our courses teach universal concepts about the "business of freelancing" that are literally guaranteed to help you.

We aim to augment all of our courses with the experiences of freelancers spanning multiple industries — even if yours isn't among them, hopefully there will be enough commonality between the ones we do have to give you ideas on how to apply the concepts to your specific industry and business.

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?

Once you buy, you’ll have immediate access to all DYF courses and all bonus materials.

You'll also get access to our Course Companion tool, which will regularly check in with you to keep you accountable and encourage you to keep moving forward.

You'll also be updated about beta courses, Implementation Intensives, and new content as we release it.

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

It sure is!

We're confident that DYF University 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 DYF University 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.
