Have you ever dreamed about making a living by freelancing but just didn’t know where to start? If so, Freelance Superstar might be exactly what you are looking for.

The course was developed by former BloggingTips writer Monika Mundell and home business guru Gobala Krishnan. The course retails for $37. The course includes:

• Freelance Superstar Guide – A 67 page guide which introduces you to freelance writing, how to build your brand, setting your rates, managing your freelance business and much more.
• WordPress Themes – 5 WordPress templates to help you on your journey.
• Tutorial Videos – 31 tutorial videos which explain the technical side of freelancing.

Freelance Superstar Guide

The guide should be the first thing you read after purchasing this course. Like most guides, the beginning of the book explains the basics of freelancing and highlights of entering the world of freelancing.

It then gives advice on choosing your niche, building your brand and setting your rates. Later on it shows you the best way to manage your business, how you can establish yourself as a top writer and how you can compete against writers from countries who charge very little.

All in all I was pretty impressed with the eBook. In particular I found the dozens of reviews of good freelancing sites useful. For each freelancing site they tell you the pros and cons of finding work there.

WordPress Themes

There are 5 WordPress themes available for download. Unfortunately, just like the other packages sold by Gobala Krishnan, all of these themes are the same, they’re just available in different colours.

To be fair, they don’t seem to be marketing the themes as part of the course so it’s hard to criticize them for it. The theme is available in blue, green, orange, red violet and stripe blue. I uploaded the themes to my personal blog. As you can see from the screenshot below, the theme is ok but nothing special. There are certainly better themes available for free.

For me, the WordPress theme is a bonus rather than an important part of the course. However, it would have been good if they had instead developed a better theme or alternatively, listed 20 or so good designs which would be good for a freelancers personal blog.

Tutorial Videos

The videos are a great complement to the eBook. The book never gets too technical, which I think is a good thing. Instead, Monika and Gobala explain the basics of setting up a blog through a series of 3 modules. In total there are 31 videos in total.

Those who are finding it difficult start their first blog will find this section incredibly helpful.
