Would you like to quit your day job as a writer to become a freelance?�

Or are you already a freelance writer but you’re struggling to find clients?�

Maybe you’ve had some success as a writer but you’d like to find more and better-paying freelance writing jobs?

I’ve been writing professionally for more than two decades and, in that time, I’ve learned all there is to know about building a successful freelance writing career. This course lifts the lid on exactly what it takes to be a successful freelance copywriter. It’s packed with proven tips for building a business from your writing talent.�

I created the course out of a desire to give something back to a profession that’s given me so much. I’ve lost count of the number of times fellow writers have told me I’ve got a real knack for negotiating great rates with clients. This knack stems from my firm inner belief that writing is highly skilled work that deserves to be rewarded well.�

That’s why I’m always here for my students. When you sign up for this course, you won’t just get a stack of great info and templates. You’ll also have a writer’s champion right by your side.�

Not sure what to quote on that job a client’s asked you to pitch for? Struggling to find new writing gigs? Stuck in a rut with clients who don’t seem to value what you do? Whatever’s on your mind, message me through the course and we’ll thrash out your options together.�

If you want to earn more from your writing talent, enrol today and I’ll show you how to:

Calculate your writing day rate with a simple formula
Discover what other writers are charging for their work
Price any writing job accurately
Find the highest-paying writing jobs (and avoid the lowest ones)
Identify the writing niche that suits you best
Break free of badly paying ‘content mill’ writing
Land more – and better – writing jobs
Pitch your work to editors
Market yourself as a writer
Present a slick, professional image to current and potential clients
Protect yourself from nightmare writing jobs
