We Heard You Guys...

You’ve told us what’s keeping you from liftoff. If any of these freelancer gripes hit a little too close to home, IDLaunch might be exactly what you’ve been looking for.

"I don’t even know where to begin to find work. Job boards are overwhelming. Cold messaging is awkward. I'm ready to work, but don't know how to find gigs."

"I don’t have time to research a bunch of agencies that may or may not work with my niche. Searching for the right fit feels like a job in itself and a lot of guesswork too."

“It’s hard keeping a steady stream of work coming in. One project ends, and I’m left scrambling to find the next. I need something more predictable and steady."

Who is LaunchPad for?

If you’ve ever thought, “I have no idea where to even start looking for agencies," LaunchPad is for you.

It’s designed for freelance instructional designers who want a clearer path to finding aligned agencies and better gigs, without spending hours sifting through Google results or wondering who actually hires freelancers in our field.

Why does the price say "your first year?"

Because your first year is just the beginning! When it’s time to renew, you’ll get a discounted rate:

  • Standard Renewal: $197/year

  • Premium Renewal: $297/year

We call it “your first year” because the renewal price is lower, so sticking around actually saves you money.

What if I subscribe and decide that it's not a good fit for me or my needs?

We want you to be satisfied with LaunchPad!

If you're unsatisfied for any reason, you may request a full refund within 7 calendar days of your initial purchase, provided that you have not substantially accessed, downloaded, or utilized LaunchPad's premium materials, including but not limited to templates, resources, or agency database features.

Can I cancel my subscription?

Yes, you can cancel your LaunchPad subscription at any time. Since it’s a one-time, upfront annual fee, you won’t be locked into a recurring payment.

If you decide to cancel, you’ll still have access to all the features until the end of your current term. When it’s time to renew, the decision is entirely in your hands—no surprise auto-renewals!

Is LaunchPad the same as joining an agency?

Nope. You’re still fully freelance.

Is this just for folks in the U.S.?

Nope! LaunchPad features agencies from all over the globe. You can even sort by location to make your life a little easier.

Do you take a cut if I land a gig through LaunchPad?

Nope. Nada. Zilch. If you land a project through us, 100% of your rate is your rate. You did the work—you should get the full reward! Great job, you!

Why pay for this when Google exists?

Totally fair question.

Google’s great, but it doesn’t know your niche, your goals, or which clients are actually worth your time. With LaunchPad, you’re not just getting a giant list—you’re getting a searchable, sortable, curated list built for freelance learning pros.

Plus insider intel straight from your fellow freelancers. The kind of stuff you won’t find on a job board.
