Hi! I’m Grace – the founder of How To Go Freelance. I’ve used these templates to make $300k+ a year freelancing as a brand strategist and marketing consultant.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
✦ Scope of Work Template: Set clear expectations before every project starts and never work without one again.
✦ Rate Sheet Template: Your services and pricing, packaged like a pro. Send this instead of freezing when someone asks your rates.
✦ Client Services Agreement: A lawyer-reviewed contract that protects you and your client from day one.
✦ Client Outreach Tracker: Build your target client list, track every email, and follow up like a pro.
✦ Living Expenses Calculator: Add up your monthly expenses to see exactly how much you need to make freelancing to cover your bills.

✦ Business Expense Tracker: Track every deductible expense, feel prepared, and have everything ready for your accountant or to do it yourself.

The How To Go Freelance course is the complete guide to building a real freelance business. 13 written and audio lessons covering how to turn your skills into services, set your rates, get clients, write scopes of work, send invoices, handle taxes and LLCs, navigate difficult client situations, and build the confidence to charge what you're worth. Plus every template in this kit is included.
"I have referred back to the HTGF course at least monthly since I started my freelance business. It's the friend, co-collaborator, and business expander every new founder needs."
The things holding you back
aren't skills. They're systems.
These templates will save you and help you take aligned action when…
→ A client asks for your rates and you scramble to come up with a number on the spot… then immediately wonder if you said too little.
→ You want to reach out to potential clients but stare at a blank email draft for 20 minutes and close the tab.
→ You start a project on a handshake – no scope, no contract – and three weeks in, the client is asking for things that were never part of the deal.
"I just used your pitch template to pitch a new potential client. As soon as I got on the call she said 'your email stood out amongst over 30.'"
When I went full-time freelance in 2017, I had to build every one of these documents from scratch with no one to gut check me. My first scope of work was a mess. My first cold email took me an hour to write. My first invoice was definitely missing the payment terms.
These templates are what I use now, after 10+ years and $2M+ in revenue as a multi-hyphenate brand and marketing strategist. I've also coached 150+ creatives in the past year, and these are the exact Google Docs that have helped them close clients (see testimonial above), protect their work, and look professional from day one.
