This must-have course has been battle-tested by hundreds of writers who are now making good money from their skill set rather than relying on poorly paid work:
‘Truly an awesome course, Arfa. I came in with high expectations and left feeling completely satisfied. This is somewhat of a surprise, since it’s usually the opposite; I enrol on a course or something similar, brimming with excitement and halfway through I lose all enthusiasm for it, since it usually fizzles out and becomes intensely boring.
Your course was exciting and engaging throughout, and I’ll recommend anyone to go on it. In fact, get them to contact me if they want reassuring or convincing, because this course is pure gold, and no one should be missing out on the pure pearls of wisdom Arfa has to give them.’
Ben Palmer-Wilson, Copywriter
‘There are enough faked testimonials on the internet – this is certainly not one of those. It is very rare when a successful person will share all the information, and goes out of her way in explaining in her professional manner. Everything is laid out, and even those starting out will not fail, as all the technical issues are easily digested. I thoroughly recommend this course without any reservation.’
Mike Dakin, France
‘As an intermediate level writer, I came into the course expecting to pick up a few additional scraps of information but essentially expected little more than refresher of what I already know. What Arfa delivered was a clear and workable blueprint of a writing business that’s geared towards profit and some of the course members picked up clients paying preferential rates by the end of the first week. The course was perfect for newcomers and those already working to an intermediate level’
Paul Miceli, UK
‘Are you a writer? Do you have chops? Need to know how to make money with those chops? Contact Arfa and do it NOW. I’ve been writing for years in everything from copywriting to academia to novels. . . I have never encountered the goldmine of proven advice Arfa gives in her course. If you’re a commercial writer and don’t take advantage of this, have fun watching her students skyrocket to success while you’re still fumbling for cents on the word.’
Eric Nease, Canada
‘I went into the course looking for some guidance, that extra bit of information that would make me confident in moving forward with the growth of my freelance copywriting business. What I actually ended up getting from the course was a complete guide to building a freelance writing business from scratch.'
Jacob Daly, USA
‘I found the course to be extremely beneficial, as Arfa gives an amazing amount of information in a very short space of time. I found this course to be highly practical and hands on, enabling me to implement client attraction strategies pretty much straightaway. This feature alone sets the course apart from others. I thoroughly recommend this course to anyone who wishes to make serious money which does NOT involve writing hundreds of articles at silly rates!’
Asima Iqbal, UK
'If you're a writer, and SERIOUS about turning your talent into serious cash then you need to jump on this offer.
I've worked closely with Arfa for some time, and this girl knows the writing business inside out.
Her knowledge about client acquisition and marketing is second to none, and she'll show you how to earn REAL MONEY from writing, so if you're sick of writing for peanuts you want to take this course.
I'd be happy to recommend this course to anyone, because you're getting an amazing opportunity! I wish I'd had someone like Arfa watching my back when I got started years ago!'
Laurence Henry, Direct Response Internet Marketing Consultant/Copywriter

Meet Your Freelance Writing Coach – Arfa Saira Iqbal
As an award-winning copywriter, digital marketing consultant and published author, my primary focus is on helping business owners increase their sales and revenue by converting more clicks to customers.
I’ve sold everything from fitness and weight-loss products, herbal coffee to honey, information products, matrimonial services, subscription services and everything in between.
Collectively, I’ve made my clients more than 7 figures and have worked with non-profits, agencies and entrepreneurs, as well as internet marketers and other businesses in a range of industries.
However, it wasn't always like this though!
When I first started freelancing in March 2010, I was struggling and making measly amounts of money because I was focusing my efforts on low-paying writing gigs and entering endless competitions online.
My personal situation was such that I had no choice but to focus and write where the money was – and that was in commercial freelance writing.
Commercial freelance writing gave me my life back and something worthwhile to do after having children.
I worked from home around my children, and meant that I had good money coming in, a good client base and more importantly, time for my kids.
In the years since, I’ve progressed to direct response copywriting (salesmanship in print) and consulting with 6 and 7 figure businesses.
As a single parent, freelancing has given me the kind of financial freedom and the kind of life I never thought possible. I still work from home and I get to travel and work on my own terms with no boss :)
Freelancing has opened so many incredible opportunities for me and I know it will do the same for you! Not only do I LOVE what I do, but I have amazing clients and nothing fills me with joy more than seeing them succeed.
During my journey, I’ve met countless individuals who are sick and tired of the rat race and fed up of scraping by. They hate their jobs and are looking for alternative income streams which pay well and give them a flexible lifestyle. I've also meant many writers and aspiring writers who falsely believe that the only way they can make money is by getting published or working for some big magazine.
And that's absolutely NOT true!
As a commercial freelance writer, you can regularly earn between £30 and £100/hr.
Over the years, many people have asked me to teach them everything I know about freelancing, and this course is a culmination of 8 years of experience in the field.
Starting your own freelance writing career and growing it as a business can seem like a daunting and difficult task when you don't know what to do or even where to begin.
As long as you have good writing skills and the dedication, commitment and the desire to succeed, you can create a fantastic career for yourself as a freelance writer. This is not about making a quick buck, but rather it’s a profitable way to leverage your writing skills and become the ‘go to’ person in your local area.
And the best part?
There is virtually zero competition in your locality, no danger of saturation and more importantly, more than enough work to keep you busy for a lifetime - guaranteed.
I'm living proof of that! And if I can do it as a single parent, so can YOU!
