Stop freelancing alone. Get a mentor who's been there.
TopGig connects freelancers with experienced mentors who've already navigated the exact challenges you're facing. Pricing, clients, positioning, growth. Real guidance from real freelancers.
Free to join. No credit card required. Launching Q2 2026.
The Problem
Freelancing is freedom. But the first few years? They're brutal.
Pricing in the dark
You have no idea if you're charging too much or leaving money on the table. There's no HR department to benchmark against, just guesswork and anxiety.
Feast or famine
One month you're drowning in work, the next your pipeline is empty. Nobody taught you how to build a steady flow of clients while delivering for current ones.
No one to ask
Should you take that low-paying gig? Fire that difficult client? Raise your rates? You're making high-stakes decisions alone with no experienced sounding board.
Who It's For
If any of this sounds familiar, you're in the right place.
The new freelancer
You left your job (or got pushed). You know your craft, but freelancing itself feels like a second career nobody prepared you for. Every decision feels like a guess.
The plateaued freelancer
You're making it work, but growth has stalled. Same income, same type of clients, same ceiling. Something needs to change but you're not sure what.
The overwhelmed freelancer
Plenty of work, but you're doing everything. Sales, delivery, admin, marketing. You need someone to help you think strategically, not just execute faster.

Questions
Everything you're wondering, answered.
Is TopGig free to join?
Yes. Our first cohort is completely free. You'll get up to 8 mentorship sessions per month at no cost while we test and scale the platform. Down the line, TopGig will move to a paid subscription model, but early members get in free.
Who are the mentors?
Every mentor is a vetted, active freelancer or consultant with 5+ years of experience. Designers, developers, marketers, writers, data professionals, and consultants who've built sustainable practices.
How is this different from other mentoring platforms?
Most mentoring platforms serve startups, corporate professionals, or broad career coaching. TopGig is built exclusively for freelancers and gig workers. Every mentor, every topic, and every feature is designed around the specific challenges of running a solo practice.
When does TopGig launch?
We're launching our free beta cohort in Q2 2026. Early members get up to 8 free sessions per month, priority mentor matching, and a direct say in shaping the product before we scale.
Can I become a mentor?
Yes. If you've been freelancing for 5+ years and want to help others avoid the mistakes you made, we'd love to hear from you. Join the waitlist and mention you're interested in mentoring.
What topics can I get help with?
Anything related to building a freelance career: pricing and rate cards, finding and qualifying clients, writing proposals, positioning your services, managing difficult clients, building retainer revenue, scaling, and avoiding burnout.
