What's great about RACsuccess-One-On-One service?
There are many people working successfully in major freelance websites and as independent freelancers. RACsuccess- One-One-One service is the only service that provides personal mentoring from people who are already earning big (our mentors).
This service puts REAL successful freelancers at your total disposition. Your mentor will advise you on any and every aspect of working with your prefered freelance website (or as independent freelancer not working on any specific freelance website). We don't force you to work with a specific mentor. You are the one who decides with whom you would like to work and you can change to a different mentor at any time!
What is a submission?
A submission is a request for help that you send to a mentor through our web-based system.
There are 3 types of submissions that you can make and they are: ask a mentor to write you a bid request descriptions/initial comments (bid text), ask a question about how to use your favorite freelance website and/or ask for advice on how to proceed on any given situation you might encounter while working in your prefered freelance website either as a buyer or freelancer. For a more detailed explanation of the 3 types of submissions, please click
here.
Is there any time whenRACsuccess.com will ask you to close a submission?
Mentors are here to help members out but they are paid to do what they were hired to do. If a member decides to abuse that power that they have of deciding when to close a submission then we will contact that member and request the member to close the submission (if the member is the one at fault of course).
For instance, mentors will contact us telling us that they assisted a member with something but that the member is not willing to close the submission yet because he/she wants something else done. We always want our members to be satisfied, but we also need to analyze what is happening in order to determine if its a flaw caused by the mentor or if the member is trying to take advantage of the mentor.
If its a flaw from the mentor's side, then we will tell the mentor that we have determined that they have not met their mentor responsibilities with that specific member, and we will point out the problem. If its an abuse on the part of the member, we will send him/her a message reminding the member to close the submission. Our mentors get paid per completed submission.When the mentor has met his/her duties, please close that submission as soon as possible.
We reserves the right to determine when a specific submission is to be considered as completed, and when it should be closed. We want to be sure we are able to prevent abuse by any member. It works like this, the mentor contacts us complaining that he/she thinks the member should have already closed the submission. We then do some "detective work" on the submission and, to the best of our ability, we determine who is causing the delay (mentor or member.)
After that, we contact the person, who in our eyes, is responsible for the closure delay. If it is the mentor, we ask them to continue to assist the member until the submission is completed properly. If it is the member causing the delay, we ask that member to close the submission.
We also reserves the right to forcibly close a submission. If, after receiving our message telling the member to close the submission, he/she does not close it after a specific number of days, we will force closure if all mentor obligations have been met. We will not give a rating to the mentor for that specific submission. The mentor is then able to decline to work with that specific member again if they so choose.
If a mentor chooses to discontinue working with a specific member then all submissions with "Working on it" status will be set back by us to "Approved status" for that specific member. The next mentor chosen is the one to get assigned those submissions.
However, just like we care about our mentors, we also care A LOT about our members and we give them the opportunity to change mentors whenever they want.
How does the service work?
After you sign up as member on our site, you gain access to the member's area and from there you can choose your mentor and make your submissions. Your mentor will reply to your submissions and you will be able to interact with your mentor right through the member's area. You also have the option of having your mentor's replies to your submissions sent to you by email.
Do you accept refunds?
Given that we trust in the expertise of our online mentors, we are confident you will be in good hands with the assistance of your selected mentor. That's the reason we don't offer any refunds. In the event you are not fully satisfied with the assistance of your selected mentor for any given reason, you can always select another mentor free of charge through the member's area.
What is a subscription?
You can try our service
withouth full benefits by signing up to our Get Started plan or you can sign up to 0ur full membership plan
for just $95.00! By subscribing, you can get the assistance of your chosen mentor.
Who are mentors?
Mentors are above average freelancers/business owners who have found success working on freelance jobs or projects but that are willing to share their secrets of success with you.
Mentors are not our employees, is not like we have them here with us processing your submissions. No, its even better than that... Why? Because you get to work with mentors from all over the world. If we hired mentors to work for our company, we could only have 3 or 4 mentors processing your submissions. That way of working would not allow us enough time and resources to process all of our member's requests. There will be no "waiting in line" for a mentor which means you get your concerns attended as quickly as possible.
Can a mentor really help me?
What if I don't know where to start?
The answer to this question is simply get started! Even if right now you don't think you have any concern or question or need any help from a mentor, you will find that with our service things are very flexible and we want our members to have the freedom of expressing themselves to our mentor community.
The first thing that happens after you subscribe to any of our membership plans is that you must specify the expectations that you have of a mentor. There is a place to express yourself freely and all mentors in our system will read your text. Don't be afraid to be open here, if you are really new to freelancing or don't know anything about this area, simply say it. Our mentors are actually looking forward to everything that you will write to them.
If you don't know where to start, don't worry, just get started, sign up to one of our membership plans and then let a mentor adjust to your current level of experience in freelancing/outsourcing.

So I pay the mentor or I pay RACsuccess.com when I become a member?
You pay RACsuccess.com first by subscribing to our full membership plan. We use part of that money to pay the mentor per submission completed.
Remember, you are the one who chooses the mentor you want to work with based on his/her qualifications (you can check their profiles, see their pictures, read information about them, etc...) and that means that
you could hire a highly qualified mentor who is ABOVE AVERAGE in experience in working with a specific freelance website or as an independent freelancer. You don't need to worry about paying him/her a lot of money.
You only pay us what we charge you. We must make sure that both you and our mentors feel happy with what they get so the prices you see on our site are the best possible prices we can offer you!
Imagine that a mentor writes you and initial comment (bid text) for a $2000.00 project and you get the project. Your purchase price of the
RACsuccess- One-On-One service would definitely be a good return on investment right away!. You could use part of this money to continue your "training" with us to learn even more things which will help you land more and better projects in your favorite freelance site or working directly with clients. Subscribing with us provides you a good return on investment.
Do I decide when I can complete any submission?
As a member, you are the one who decides when you want to close a specific submission. The mentor doesn't finalize your submission, mentors don't have access to that feature. The only one that can close a submission is you!
By "Closing a submission" we mean that right after a mentor has assisted you with a specific submission and the mentor has done what he/she was expected to do, you can go ahead and close the submission by clicking on a "Complete" button inside your member's area in the detailed view of the submission.
So can I change of mentor at any time I want?
Yes! You can change to another mentor at any time. You were the one who initially selected the mentor you wanted to work with, so you also have the right to stop working with that mentor at any time.
There are no fees for a change to a different mentor, its free but you need to provide reasonable and valid reason(s) explaining how your current mentor is not assisting you as expected.
A mentor is also allowed to discontinue working with a member. A mentor may choose this option if the mentor feels uncomfortable working with a specific member or has any urgent issue to attend which will not allow him/her to continue assisting member properly.
Why mentors can't leave me a rating and write me a comment for my profile?
Even though you have a member profile page, a system for ratings and comments from mentors does not exist. The main and most important reason you can rate mentors, but mentors can't rate you, is because we want to make sure you are never excluded by any mentor if you ever get bad ratings/comments. We don't want you to be worried about a ratings or comments while you use our system.
How can I get started?
How can I get started as a member?
