Who this is for

Freelancers who are past the starting phase and ready to grow, not just work harder.

  • Have already started freelancing and want to take your business to the next level.

  • Believe in pay-it-forward, peer-to-peer learning, and networking as key ingredients for success.
  • Enjoy sharing experiences as much as you do learning from others.

A note from Jenny, founder of Freelancers in Belgium

"When I started freelancing in Belgium, I quickly realised how hard it was to find trustworthy, Belgium-specific information, and people who truly understood the freelance reality here.
That’s why I started the Freelancers in Belgium FB group: to make freelancing easier, more connected, and better supported.

Over the past years, thousands of freelancers have shared advice, helped each other find clients, and navigated the ups and downs of independent work together.
Now, with Freelancers in Belgium PRO, we’re taking that same spirit a step further; creating a space for freelancers who want to grow, learn, and exchange ideas more deeply.

This community exists because of freelancers like you who believe in collaboration over competition.

If you’re ready to invest a little in your professional growth and be part of something bigger, I can’t wait to welcome you inside."

— Jenny Björklöf
Founder, Freelancers in Belgium

Join the PRO membership if:

  • You want to go beyond surface-level answers. Get access to roundtables, guides, and templates with practical solutions, not just quick tips that get buried in a feed.
  • You value learning from peers who “get it.” In PRO, you’re not just surrounded by freelancers in Belgium who have chosen to invest in their growth.
  • You want feedback you can trust. Whether it’s a contract clause, a rate check, or a tricky client situation, you’ll hear from people who’ve been there.
  • You’re looking for a distraction-free space. No ads, no algorithms, just focused conversations that help you move forward.
  • You want connections that open doors. The member directory makes it easy to find collaborators, pass on work, and get referrals that actually lead to assignments. and because everyone here has invested in being part of PRO, you know you’re connecting with serious, committed professionals.

  • You want dedicated learning opportunities. Monthly roundtables give you live, structured discussions with peers on the topics that move your business forward.

  • You want to cut costs on essentials. PRO members unlock exclusive discounts on tools, services, and events, often worth more than the membership itself.

The free FB group might be enough if:

  • You’re only looking for a quick answer. The FB group is great for casual questions or quick tips

  • You just want to scroll. In PRO, value comes from showing up and contributing. If you prefer lurking, the free group may be a better fit.

  • You want to promote your services. PRO isn’t a place for pitching clients. It’s about learning, sharing, and collaborating with peers.

  • You’re fine with repetition and noise. In the free group, the same questions often resurface. If you don’t mind digging through threads, that space may be enough.

  • You're just getting started. Our free group is a great first step.
