About us

In 2016, Elina Jutelyte took a bold step into freelancing, leaving behind a traditional corporate role to embrace self-employment. Through this journey, she identified a pressing need for freelancers to connect, share knowledge, and support each other. This insight led to the creation of the Freelance Business Community, a grassroots initiative in Belgium that has since evolved into a global movement, bringing together thousands of freelancers from 60+ countries.

The Freelance Business Community has become a vibrant platform for networking, learning, and collaboration, revolutionising the freelance industry. Its remarkable impact has been recognized in Forbes, highlighting Elina's contributions to empowering freelancers worldwide. Elina has also been recognised as one of the "Top 40 Female Leaders of the Year" by Excellence Talks, celebrating her outstanding contributions and leadership.

For graphic designers, artists, copywriters, and all freelancers, setting your freelance rates is a crucial aspect of your business strategy. It's a common practice to assess your freelance market and consider benchmarking your prices against others. Many freelance business experts often emphasize the importance of aligning your rates with industry benchmarks. However, the reality is not always as straightforward as it seems.
