Peak Freelance is a paid membership community for freelance writers.
It started in October 2020 as a way for freelance writers to reach “peak” career mode: no ebbs and flows of income, a steady stream of work, and actually making this freelance thing work.
Some of the topics we talk about include:
- Setting (and raising!) rates
- Managing freelance projects without losing your mind
- Becoming a better writer
- What clients really want from freelancers they hire
The Co-Founders of Peak Freelance
Elise Dopson

I’ve been a freelance writer for 3 years, and I’ve been hired by huge SaaS companies like Databox, HubSpot, Shopify Plus, CoSchedule, and more.
It wasn’t always like that though. My freelance journey was a ton of trial and error. It wasn’t until 2 years in that I really found my groove–and got paid what I deserve.
I created Peak Freelance because I didn’t want you to spend 2 years doing the same trial and error. I wanted to share the actual tips that’ve worked for me. (In fact, ones that have worked so well I haven’t shared them before.)

In my five years of freelance writing, I’ve worked with awesome companies including Shopify, Help Scout, ManyChat, Segment, and more, helping them increase search traffic from their content.
I helped create Peak Freelance because it’s the group I always wanted when I started freelancing.
It took me forever to start getting paid my worth. And I want to help other freelance writers skip the “$20 per article” shit gigs, and start building a profitable writing business that they can be proud of.
