Description

This complete freelance writing course will teach you everything you need to know to start and scale a successful freelance business.

Almost half of all Americans have a side hustle and for good reason. It's a fantastic way to advance your career, pursue a passion, and make a healthy amount of cash (nothing wrong with that).

However, not all gig jobs are created equal. You could spend hours every day away from your home stuck in the car as a driver, or you could type, type, type from the comfort of your home and make an impressive living.

The choice is yours.

There's no right answer, but if you're looking to transform black words on a digital screen into a viable income stream, then you've come to the right place.

All You Need Is a Computer and a Passion for Words

Getting started with freelance writing is simple, but there are a few challenging roadblocks that prevent most writers from taking their writing career from novice to specialist to prodigy.

Trust me—I've been there.

I ground out the early years of my freelance career in an inefficient, unsustainable, and (in retrospect) downright embarrassing manner—and I want to help you avoid the same mistakes I did.

Now, I'm cranking out a part-time freelancing income that's on track to surpass my full-time salary, and I'm doing it without sacrificing quality for any parties. Plus, I have a 2-year old and a 6-month old. I don't say this to brag—not at all. I mention this so that'll you have the confidence to know you can do this!

If I can, anyone can.

What You'll Learn From This Course:

  • Discover the simple secrets to becoming a writer worth hiring

  • Learn how to score your first gig, and (more importantly) how to help clients find you

  • Find out how to turn one-off projects into career-long partnerships

  • See how to price your services to maximize your income while beating out the competition

  • Explore ways to expand your brand to earn new clients while you sleep

No Matter Where You Live or How Old You Are, You Can Start Freelance Writing

Wise and experienced or new and young, freelance writing is for anyone in any stage of their life. The instruction and advice in this course is universal and has the potential to be life-changing.

For Experienced Freelancers or Complete Newbies

The content you'll find in this course has been designed to help everyone from complete novices to experienced freelancers boost their business.

Who's the Instructor?

Hi, I'm Jesse Sumrak. I've been turning words into income for close to a decade now.

I’m a writing zealot by day and a post-apocalyptic ultramarathon runner by night (and early-early morning). Writing is my jam and content is my peanut butter. And I make a mean PB&J.

I’ve gone from handling public relations for a startup clothing brand to managing the entire social media program of a global SaaS company through a unicorn IPO and its subsequent acquisition.

Blog posts, guides, tweets, brochures, landing pages, marketing emails, sales pitches, presentations…

Write. Write. Write. It’s what I do. Simple as that.

I can't wait to see you in the course!

I'm 100% confident this course will help launch and grow your freelance business! And, if in the end, it only helps you gain 1-2 new clients, then it's already more than worth the investment...and I'm confident it'll help you earn way more clients than that!

Your future freelancing career is waiting for you. Enroll now and launch your full-time business or part-time gig today!
