The Company

FreelanceNation is the culmination of the founder’s experience – a life dedicated to self-reliance, professional networking, charitable philanthropy, and a willingness to help others achieve a life of professional independence.

Jay Lohmann began his freelance copywriting career as a junior in college. His unique creative abilities and early adoption of ‘white hat’ search engine optimization placed him at the top of the search engines and vaulted him into worldwide recognition as a premier advertising talent. In addition to his work for Fortune 100 clients, Lohmann fielded thousands of requests from aspiring freelancers seeking advice on self-employment, best business practices, professional networking and Internet Marketing.

After years of concept and development, Lohmann responds with TheFreelanceNation.com. Co-founded with 16-year marketing veteran Will Morgan, TheFreelanceNation.com is a comprehensive collaborative community dedicated to enhancing the self-employment lifestyle and facilitating the interaction between independent contractors and businesses seeking temporary professional assistance.
