To celebrate the relaunch of Students That Freelance, I contacted several amazing companies and they were so excited to be able to help six wonderful student freelancers become better equipped to start their freelancing careers. So without further delay, let me announce the best giveaway in Students That Freelance history!
“It’s Our Time” Giveaway!
There is no better time than now than to start your freelancing career. Rather it be something you intend on doing just while you are in school, or you plan to turn your freelancing into your own business after graduation, now is the best time to start!
So to help with that, one lucky student freelancer is going to win an amazing prize package tailor-made to start their freelancing careers right, and five other student freelancers are going to win prizes that will help them get a jump start on their freelancing careers.

One of the amazing men behind Myows, Max Guedy, has offered an amazing deal for one lucky student freelancer: a lifetime subscription to their Pro+ Account to help protect their copyrighted works, which has a value of $240/year!
Myows is a great service for freelancers and creatives in general who offers online copyright protection for designers.

I am so thankful for all that you do Amber. Thanks for this great giveaway! I have been doing my own freelancing for sometime and recently I am starting to get into it very serious. I think ALL of this would help and benefit me to better myself and my business. Copyright information is SO important to anyone & who doesn’t love customized key chains?! 🙂
Awesome giveaway! Sounds like those things would be helpful, and I’d love to see your book (how exciting!)! I’ve looked a little at Myows, but haven’t delved too deeply into it, so that would be a good opportunity to try it out. Also, my goal this year is to develop my illustration portfolio so that I can promote myself next summer at a conference… promo materials would help with that!
i love your site amber, it’s always so helpful…and i’m really excited about this giveaway. I am just getting out of school this year, and have done a few small freelancing jobs. I’ve also gotten the opportunity to work in a few different design firms. After this, I’ve decided that I really want to be able to go into business for myself. If I were to win, what I would do with the prizes (to be specific) is…for the Myows prize, I have been dying to copyright a project/program that I created. I would love to make a reality, so I would first and foremost copyright that. I never heard of them, so I would love to explore their site further. The Tuts + Premium is great because I’m still new at this and could definitely use all the help I could get. And I’m excited that your book is coming out for the same reason, it’s another great resource. And the stickers/bottle openers would be a great networking tool. Thanks again for the opportunity Amber!
This is an awesome idea. I’d love to win any of these prizes. Having finished my graphic design degree, I would use these prizes to help excel my freelance design business and reach out to new clients. The bottle openers and sticker are helpful for promo of both Daniel Design Canada and some of the other initiatives I run. Exciting stuff!
This is a great opportunity to win something so great! Thank you so much Amber for helping out and guiding students and freelance designers! I’d love to win the freelance book (of course) + the Free Myows, which is a great site by the way! Thanks so much again!
I want this! All of it seems helpful in helping develop a freelance business! Awesome!!!!
Man I’m glad my teacher told me about this site!!
