After struggling at $50/hour for 3 years as a 6+ year freelancer, Data Freelancer helped me reach $125/hour in just 2 months – an extra $4000/month. The structure and Dave's direct support gave me confidence to tackle bigger projects.
This is the best freelancing program for data/AI professionals out there. All you need to start is here, from setting up the proper mindset to registering your business and getting gigs. It's tailored to Data and AI, which you can't find anywhere else.
I just started freelancing and already got my first project. A big thank you to Dave, who taught me how to be seen online, get clients and everything else needed to do well as a data freelancer. The program gives me loads of tools to finish projects faster!
Two years into freelancing, I'm on track to earn 7-8x my Amazon salary and have hired three engineers. There will be no better investment of your time, your money, and your learning bandwidth than being inside a community like this.
Both Data Freelancer and GenAI Accelerator helped me gain technical knowledge and focus in a fast-moving AI landscape. The weekly calls keep you sharp and on track. Within three months I landed two freelance projects and got an ROI on the course.
I had no idea how to earn a living selling my skills, even after years in corporate as a principal engineer and director. The program gave me the confidence and insight I needed to land my first client.
Data Freelancer gave me the structure and guidance I needed to turn my skills into a consistent freelance business. I landed my first contract worth just under five figures much sooner than expected, and within the first 6 months of freelancing I was able to quit my job.
When I started to actually put it all into practice, I had an ROI within 4 weeks! I most definitely recommend Data Freelancer to you if you're into freelancing anything data related.
This is the best course I've ever enrolled in! Dave helped me become an independent freelancer. I had the desire to start freelancing but was afraid of losing a stable income. What I didn't realize was that I could earn more than in my regular job.
As the program progressed, it became clear that the freelance path suited me best for the coming years. Since joining, I've landed my first two AI freelance projects, which was a big milestone and proof that the system works.
This is the most practical, end-to-end program I've attended. It's about building a sustainable business with real systems, clear positioning, and proven playbooks. Dave shares his blueprints that actually work in the real world, not just theory.
As a full-time Data Scientist, I was exploring the transition to running my own data consulting business but felt overwhelmed with ideas. Data Freelancer helped me align my focus, accelerate my initial progress, and make the shift to entrepreneurship feel more attainable.
These are real member results, not a guarantee. Your outcome depends on your experience, the work you put in, and the market you sell into.
Map your skills to realistic freelance offers and walk away with a 90-day plan.
The market today doesn't reward what it used to. Layoffs hit every level, internal raises cap at single digits, and companies are restructuring their engineering teams. At the same time, AI gives a single engineer the leverage that used to take a small team.
If you can already ship real software, the highest-leverage move isn't waiting for the next promotion. It's building a second income on top of your day job. Real freelance data and AI project work in evenings and weekends, charged at market rates and proven on your own terms. The risk profile is completely different than it was two years ago.
