How to Start Your Remote Freelance Business

Do you want to learn how to start your own freelance business today so you can work remotely and travel the world?

Let me introduce you to my dear friend, Hannah Dixon, the founder of the Virtual Excellence Academy, who has guided over 35,000 people just like you on their journey to freedom and location independence. I interviewed Hannah on Episode 237 of The Maverick Show and since then I have personally hung out with many of her clients in epic locations all over the world. I have marveled at the number of people she has empowered to quit their job, start a fully remote freelance business, and design their dream lifestyle. If you want to learn how to start your remote freelance business with the skills you already have and get your first paying clients right away, then I invite you to register for Hannah’s completely free “5 Day VA Challenge”:
You’ll get practical advice on becoming an in-demand freelancer, and you’ll leave with actionable steps to start earning right away. Whether you’re just starting or looking to gain traction, this training is beginner-friendly and packed with insights.

What You'll Gain from This Training

This training is completely beginner-friendly, but even if you’re experienced, you’ll find valuable strategies to level up your freelance career. And as soon as you register, in the lead up to the live event, you will get emails with guidance and support, as well as immediate access to the main Facebook Group where you can begin learning from other remote freelancers.

What is a Freelancer?

A Freelancer is a self-employed professional who provides remote services to people or businesses. It means no more traffic jams or daily office commutes! If you can help someone virtually, you can be a freelancer – it’s that simple. So, whether you’re interested in administrative support, web design, copywriting, or even tech and automation, this training is designed to help you achieve that dream. Hannah will equip you with the essential business and entrepreneurial skills to turn your current abilities into high-income, work-from-anywhere opportunities.

You can specialize in nearly anything and start with what you already know! Here are some popular routes for new freelancers:

  • Admin: Inbox management, bookkeeping, customer support, project management
  • Design: Web design, social media graphics, logos
  • Writing: Blog posts, sales pages, e-books, newsletters, social media content
  • Tech: Automation and integrations, AI solutions, coding, SEO

And that’s just the beginning – there’s truly something for everyone!

What is the difference between getting a job doing any
number of these things and going freelance?

Low barrier to entry:

Degrees and certifications are not a requirement in this field. In fact, many freelancers learn on the job as they go. You only need a laptop, a stable internet connection, and a willingness to communicate and learn new things.

You run the show:

You have control of your schedule, how many hours you work in a week, and how many days per week. You decide which clients you work with and how many. You get to work in whichever way suits you and your life best.

Endless growth opportunities:

As you build your network and level up your skillset there is literally no limit to what you can earn in this field. Many freelancers go on to specialize at premium rates or subcontract other freelancers to assist their clients.

Work from anywhere!

This career is arguably the best entry-level digital nomad or move-abroad career available. You can work from anywhere with wifi and it won’t negatively impact your success in the slightest. No more reporting to anyone but you!

Who is Behind this Challenge?

Hannah Dixon and Matt Bowles

After years of working as a freelancer herself (which earned her a six-figure income!), Hannah Dixon is now the go-to person for training and hiring remote freelance talent. With her sharp focus on community, inclusion, and ethical hiring, she’s the #1 person I refer Maverick Show listener to because I’ve seen the results! Her knowledge in this field is unmatched. It’s very common for participants to see immediate results from her free resources as she’s incredibly generous with sharing what she knows, paired with actionable takeaways, to help you break into this world successfully. She’s also just hilarious and a blast to hang out with, I’m sure you’ll enjoy her as much as I do when you meet her in the free training:
