Archive : Secrets Of A Six – Figure Elancer
The proven, step-by-step formula I used to personally earn 6 figures on Elance in just 12 months
learn the little known strategies I used to attract rockstar clients, command premium fees, and drive the old pros nuts
When I found out Danny was creating an Elance course, I expected to be wowed. Yet even with all the experience I’ve gained over the past 5 years as a successful freelancer and now agency owner, I was still surprised at how much I was able to learn from Secrets Of A Six-Figure Elancer. Whether you’re brand new to freelancing or you’re looking for that extra edge on Elance, I highly recommend this course.
Sarah Ratliff, Elance legend
Danny is a freelancing force to be reckoned with. Not content with teaching himself copywriting to the tune of Elance’s top hourly rate, he also made it his business to master the finer nuances of this leading online staffing platform. Danny brings humor, first-hand experience, and brutal honesty to a modern workplace typified by competitiveness, self-doubt, and sheer bravado. He’s also a thoroughly nice guy!
Bryony Sutherland, Elance legend
Yes, you can earn $50,000 – $100,000 doing what you love on Elance
I know because I’ve been doing it for the past 2.5 years.
Check out my last 12-month earnings:
And since I started off with no experience, no formal training or education, and no network whatsoever
I think it’s safe to say that earning great money on Elance is something anyone can do, ifyou’re willing to put the work in.
There are two ways to make money on Elance
One involves being chronically overworked and underpaid.
Elancers who take this route spend lots of time bidding on job after job, day in and day out
Seldom get hired (or even hear back from clients)
And end up taking jobs at painfully low rates just to make ends meet.
They’ll give you -logical reasons for being overworked and underpaid, like
-There’s too much competition on Elance
-Everyone here charges too little and drives the prices down to nothing
-There aren’t enough high paying clients
But they’re mistaken.
The truth is, they’re -doing Elance totally wrong.
Luckily, my way of making money on Elance involves having fun, being as profitable as you want to be, and enjoying your freedom.
It involves more work up front, but
Elancers who take this route don’t spend nearly as much time bidding on jobs.
They win more work, with less effort.
They get lots of repeat business from happy customers.
They charge – and get – higher prices. (Some even charge premiums.)
And clients often seek them out, rather than the other way around.
I know, because I’ve just described my students. Students of this course.
Like these cool peeps
Almost as soon as I signed up (and thanks primarily to the revolutionized proposal-writing strategy I’ve been using based on your advice), I’ve found some great clients and am now making $60/hour on several longterm projects!
Rachel Schneebaum, Writer
Before I took Danny’s course, my Elance earnings would be all over the place from $30 to $60 per hour. I took a big break from bidding on the site, and came back to it after taking SSFE. And with Danny’s help I landed a $125 per hour gig right out of the gate!

More than just a great income
One of the amazing things about succeeding on Elance is that it doesn’t just put money in your pocket. It’s also a lifestyle tool.
Elance allowed me to pay all of my bills and then some since day 1, with absolutely:
NO networking
NO cold calls/emails
NO blogging or social media marketing
And none of the other headaches that most freelancers think of as -necessary evils.
Best of all, my schedule has stayed full of great paying work, week in and week out, for over 2 years.
Yes, using Elance, I’ve managed to totally escape that nasty -feast or famine cycle that most freelancers find themselves trapped in.
It really wasn’t for me. I want to feast all the time. How about you?
So, without further ado

How is this course different from other Elance-related courses?
The difference between this course and other books, videos, and paid trainings that claim to teach you how to make money on Elance is that I’ve personally used this exact system to earn over $100,000 in just a single year.
I’ve seen other courses too. And I’m a guy who likes to invest money into training. But notice how those other course instructors never seem to post screenshots of their earnings-or even TELL you how much they’ve made. Curious, no?
By all means, purchase whichever course you like. But before you do, send a quick email to the person behind it, asking them how much money they’ve actually EARNED on Elance. And ask for screenshots (likes the ones on this page).
If all they can produce are meager earnings for themselves, how are they going to help you earn the kind of money you want and deserve from your freelancing career?
I followed your advice about proposals and submitted a proposal this morning that was completely different from my usual proposals. My bid was one of the highest and there were already 15 other proposals. I was awarded the job literally 5 minutes later, with the client actually commenting that he loved my proposal. I’ve had comments before that clients liked my samples or liked my experience, but never any -proposal love’.
Emily Fowler, Writer
Danny gives amazing advice! As a newbie to freelance writing, I needed help navigating how to highlight my unique skill set, write an exceptional freelancer profile, and winning proposals. After joining the Freelance to Win community, I was able to use Danny’s guidance to write my 1st proposal, which secured a job paying almost $50 per hour! I strongly recommend FTW to help advance your freelancing career!

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this course for people new to Elance, or ones who have been on Elance awhile?
Both. I’ve had plenty of people sign up for the course after being on Elance for 1-3 years, and many who hadn’t even created an Elance account yet or won their first job. So I can now say from experience that both groups can benefit greatly from SSFE.
Is this course only for writers?
Though SSFE is taught from the perspective of a writer (me), many different types of freelancers have taken the course and successfully used these strategies to earn more money on Elance. These include graphic designers, transcriptionists, web developers, IT and engineering professionals, consultants, translators, and more. The skills I teach are designed to win on Elance across all categories.
What Elance categories do you work in?
I work in two categories on Elance: Writing & Translation, and Sales & Marketing.
Can you guarantee I’ll make six figures?
I can’t, but let me ask you this: If you made only half of that on Elance in the next 12 months as a result of this course, how many times over would the course have paid for itself?
What if I don’t want to spend more time and energy marketing myself on Elance?
That’s exactly the point of this course! I want you to spend less time looking for clients, not more. The approaches I teach are designed to help you get maximum effort without having to spend hours on end looking for new clients. If you’re someone who hates having to constantly market and sell yourself online (Elance included) then this course is for you.
How long is the course?
SSFE currently contains 5 hours of exclusive premium video content. I am currently in the process of adding even more video-based material to the course; once I do I will likely raise the price. However, existing course members who purchase SSFE at the current price will receive free updates for life.
Is this course for beginners or experienced freelancers?
I created SSFE for both beginning and veteran freelancers. The reason I say that is because there are many seasoned freelancers who nonetheless realize that mastering the game of Elance can help them significantly increase or even double their current income. I am also uniquely qualified to teach newbie freelancers since I came to Elance in 2012 with no experience whatsoever.
Are updates included with the course?
Yes. Whenever the course is updated, you’ll immediately be notified by email and get access to any and all updates instantly at no additional charge, forever. I’ve already updated the course several times, adding more content, tools and resources to help you win.
Does the course work for Upwork (formerly oDesk), Freelancer.com, and other bidding sites too?
Though Elance is my favorite site, the approaches in the course can be applied to making money on any freelance site(s) you choose. There are lots of students in the course who are using the strategies to win on Upwork and quite a few other platforms as well.
Danny’s course is a game changer! Thanks to SSFE, I’ve revamped my entire Elance approach from top to bottom. Want to talk about results? After just a few days, I’d already seen a better response rate to my proposals, with two deals closed quicker and easier than ever beforeand no doubt more on the way.
Nate Finch, copywriter
I feel lucky to have found Danny’s course. His initial email series was great and was packed with tons of value, so I knew I’d get that much more by joining Secrets of a Six-Figure Elancer. And as expected, it was more than worth it. Danny’s BEEFY profile principles alone strike me as something that will help anyone have great success in any interpersonal pursuit. Honestly after going through all the videos, I have to say that $197 for all this stuff seems like robbery!
Chad Frisk, Translation Specialist
Danny’s course helped me to revitalize my profile and my work ethic. It provided concrete advice and tips, with examples from his own experience, as well as helping me to improve my own attitude towards my own work and my clients. With an enthusiasm which was contagious, he also showed me how to be more positive and friendly, and I have reaped real benefits in work, money and Elance rating. I think his course will help to improve the Elance community of freelancers and clients alike.
Eleanor Johnson, graphic designer
Before Danny’s course, I’d spend hours applying for jobs and not win any. It was disheartening. After implementing Danny’s method, everything changed. I’ve been getting invited to high quality jobs, and I now know what to say and how to win them. Last week alone I landed 2 jobs that paid $1,300 using the exact strategies Danny taught me! And both were the highest paying freelancing jobs I’ve had to date. I highly recommend Danny’s course!
Jalanda James, email specialist
If you’re ready to break through mediocre performance on Elance, you owe it to yourself to take Danny’s course as your very next investment in your freelance business. You may have heard (and likely experienced) how hard it is to get traction on Elance; this course is crucial for anyone just starting out on Elance who wants to avoid spending many frustrating months with little or no success. It’s also very likely to teach even seasoned Elancers a thing or three they can implement right away to improve their business results.
