What is RACsuccess?


The word RAC in RACsuccess stands for "Running Against Competition". RACsuccess is the result of the great need that people have of knowing how to earn money online through freelancing or by starting their own online business. There are a lot of freelance jobs available for people, but there is also a lot of competition. We facilitate freelancers to find success by helping them beat their competition. We also help business owners to find qualified freelancers to do work for them.

What's the best thing about RACsuccess?


The best thing about RACsuccess is that you can get in touch with real and experienced successful freelancers and buyers that work in all major freelance websites and some also work as independent freelancers directly with clients. The good news is that mentors are willing to share their tricks of success with you right through the member's area. This advantage of being able to be guided by a qualified mentor is something that even our mentors would have loved to have when they were just starting as freelancers or while struggling to become successful.

Your mentor will even do the writing work for you when it comes to how to approach buyers/freelancers and will also show you how to properly deal with them as well. We also offer bid text writing benefit. Simply subscribe to our full membership plan, make this advantage yours today!

Our service is also for anyone who is already in the freelance field and wishes to brush up their existing marketing or approaching skills.

Aren't you tired of your competition winning all the projects/bids? Let our mentors help you beat your freelance/outsource competition!

What do we assume?

If you are a freelancer...

We assume that you already have existing technical skills. For instance, if you are a developer, you might already know how to program in PHP, VB6, VB .NET, Java or in any other programming language. If you are a web designer, you might already know how to do excellent website designs. If you are a writer, you might be good in writing e-Books, sales letters or any other type of written content. Our mentors will not teach you any of these technical skill but they will help you get freelance jobs that are appropriate for your technical skills and they will also guide you on how to work successfully as a freelancer just like they do!

If you are a buyer...

We assume that you already know what a freelancer is and that you are looking forward to hire a qualified freelance worker to outsource one or more of your projects successfully.

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?

A mentor can do a lot of things for you. When you become a RACsuccess member, you enter into a world where very successful freelancers are ready to help you succeed on any major freelance website or as an independent freelancer both as a buyer and/or as a freelancer. All of the mentors are REAL freelancers with a high average rating of 9.2 and higher both as freelancers and as buyers. They have all completed many projects successfully.

Mentors are veteran (experienced) freelancers and buyers that really know how to get the most out of freelancing and guess what? They are here just for you! That's right, they are going to share all their experience and knowledge with you for your specific needs, questions and situations!

Our mentors are highly qualified and they all meet our strict qualifications.
freelance Jobs

You choose or select the mentor you wish to work with right from the member's area

Mentors will be able to write your bid request request descriptions/initial comments or bid text (along with personal overviews so that you can learn how to write them like they do as well.) They will answer your questions about how to use your most used freelance site and also give you advice sessions. Mentors are not interested in keeping information to themselves, all of our mentors look forward to sharing their knowledge and experience with you.

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.

RACsuccess road map for success is a Microsoft Word document filled with suggestions of what advice or questions you can ask after choosing a mentor on our site.

You can also ask your mentor to search or scan projects for you that match your skills in case you still don't know were or which projects will be good for you.

Browser compatibility

Member's area web based system currently operates on Firefox 3+ (won't work with Firefox 2), IE6, IE7 and IE8.

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?

Creating an account is easy and quick!. However, to get your full membership, the only thing you will need is a PayPal account OR credit card to pay. We accept credit card payments through Authorize.net.

Once you register as a member, you gain access to the members area which is a web-based interface. Using the web-based interface is very easy but if you ever need help on how to use any of the features inside the system, the member's area includes a very descriptive video that you can always check on how to use it.

What's the RACsuccess package?

The RACsuccess package is a software application that you download and install on your computer. This software application gives you access to all the videos and the two guides for coders (freelancers) and buyers that will teach you how to succeed in RentACoder.com/vWorker.com. Please note that an internet connection is required to be able to watch the videos and read the guides, the guides and videos don't reside on your computer. We don't currently offer any videos for any other freelance website other than for RentACoder.com.

This doens't have anything to do with our mentoring service. This is another product that we have on our website for sale. Our mentoring service is for any freelance website and for any independent freelancer but this product is specifically for one of the major freelance websites called RentACoder.com/vWorker.com.

Please note however, that this product can help you become successful on other freelance websites as well given that even though everything centers around Rent A Coder/vWorker.com, many of the tips given on the guides and videos can also be applied to other freelance websites and it can also help you if you are an independent freelancer that works on your own.

This product includes:
1. Over 40 videos on how to use RentACoder.com/vWorker.com
2. Over 40 videos on how to take the most of RentACoder.com/vWorker.com(How to succeed on the site)
3. Two digital guides (one for coders (freelancers) and one for buyers)
4. Bonus proposal writer software that writes efficient bid text when biding on freelance jobs

Who should buy the RACsuccess package?

Any freelancer and buyer using any freelance website, will improve their earning capacity, and get better results on projects, after buying the RACsuccess package. Of course, in order to profit from the information we share in the software, you have to use the software then apply the techniques when bidding on projects or requesting bids. It is a self-study program.

Are the videos and guides in the RACsuccess package useful for vWorker?

The videos on the RACsuccess package use the old design of RentACoder.com since they were recorded previously to RentACoder's design and name change to vWorker. However, you can still use these videos with the new design because the link names and functionality have not changed in vWorker, they are all the same as with previous design. When watching videos, we do recommend that you use the menu on the right-hand side (instead of on top of the page) inside vWorker since this will show links exactly as it was on old design (but on right side instead of left side).

The RACsuccess package should be activated on the computer on which I plan to watch the videos and read the guides?

The activation code can only be used on one computer. If you want to install the RACsuccess package on more than one computer then you will need to purchase a separate license of RACsuccess package to get a new activation code for each computer.

However, If you need an activation code to install it on a second computer at home or at work, if you request it, we will make a one time exception to this rule and we will send you an extra FREE activation code. We understand that sometimes you need to have access to the RACsuccess package from two different computers. Please note that if you wish to receive this extra free activation code, you will need to request it by writing us to: contact@racsuccess.com or by filling out our contact us form.

Note, for instance, if you are a team of eg. 5 programmers and you wish to have the RACsuccess package installed on 5 different computers then you would need to purchase the RACsuccess package 5 times to obtain 5 different activation codes (one for each computer.)

Why my screen resolution is changed when running the RACsuccess Package?

When you run the RACsuccess package software application, your screen resolution will be set to 1024 x 768 always; because, that's the optimal screen resolution needed for you to be able to watch the videos and read the guides properly. After closing the program, your screen resolution will be restored back to the screen resolution that you had before running the RACsuccess package.

What do we assume?

If you are a freelancer...

We assume that you already have existing technical skills. For instance, if you are a developer, you might already know how to program in PHP, VB6, VB .NET, Java or in any other programming language. If you are a web designer, you might already know how to do excellent website designs. If you are a writer, you might be good in writing e-Books, sales letters or any other type of written content. Our videos and guides will not teach you any of these technical skill but they will help you get freelance jobs that are appropriate for your technical skills.

If you are a buyer...
We assume that you already know what a freelancer is and that you are looking forward to hire a qualified freelance worker to outsource one or more of your projects.

Do you accept refunds?

We are fully compliant with the ClickBank refund policy and thus we offer a 60 day guarantee period. Please click here for more details.

How long is each of the guides that comes with the RACsuccess package?

The coder's guide has 44 pages and the buyer's guide has 43 pages.

How many videos do I get?

You get more than 75 videos in total.

Do you offer any trial versioin of the RACsuccess package?

Are there any free videos I can watch?

Do the videos of the RACsuccess package include a watermark just like the free videos?

No, only the videos that teach you how to use Rent A Coder include a RACsuccess watermark found on the left bottom corner of each video. The videos on how to take the most of Rent a Coder don't include the RACsuccess watermark for you to have a better experience learning how to succeed in RentACoder.com!

What's the size of the free videos and the size of the videos of the RACsuccess package?

Videos on how to use Rent a Coder (the ones accessible through the web based interface) are 640 x 480. Videos on how to take the most of Rent a Coder (the ones accessible through the software interface) are 950 x 713. The RACsuccess package is actually a combination of both videos on how to use Rent a Coder and videos on how to take the most of Rent a Coder.

What methods of payments do you accept?

As soon as you click on the Buy Now button, on any page on our website, you are taken to a ClickBank page which will let you choose to pay with Credit Card/Debit Card/Bank account if you don't have a PayPal account. If you do have a PayPal account, on that same page, enter your zip code and then on the right side, click on the PayPal button to login to your PayPal account and proceed with payment processing.

I am tired of the trial, how can I buy the full version of the RACsuccess package?

The full version gives you access to more than 80+ videos for coders (freelancers) and buyers and you get full access to the coder and buyer guides with no restrictions at all. The guides include a lot of helpful tips on how you can become a successful buyer and coder in Rent A Coder.

But remember that even though these videos were designed for you to take the most of what Rent a Coder has to offer you, many of the tips contained on the videos and guides can also be applied to any freelance website. To purchase the full version just click on the "Buy now..." button below:
