"SIX FIGURES, 5 YEARS IN A ROW!"
I’ve been a full-time freelance writer for almost 9 years, and whenever someone asks me for advice on how to make money as a freelance writer, I always refer them to Carol Tice and MakeaLivingWriting.com! Whether you’re a new or aspiring freelance writer who’s just getting started, or a mid-career writer who needs a tune-up to improve your marketing and pitching prowess, I highly recommend Freelance Writers Den. I hired Carol a few years ago for one-on-one mentoring and she immediately helped me get thousands of dollars of results. Being a freelance writer has changed my life for the better in every possible way, and I’ve been amazed at how much my earning power has grown. Don’t wait, just sign up now. Join the Den. Take a step today to transform your career. I used to be trapped in a miserable cubicle job, and now I get paid to be creative, I travel the world, hang out in my pajamas and sip coffee in my cozy home office and spend lots of time with my kids. You can do it, too!

"MADE IT INTO THE TOP US MAGAZINE!"
I’ve had a long-term goal to write for AARP Magazine, because they’re the largest-circulation pub in the country (and one of the best-paying). I discovered they have a new digital component, and they’ve asked me to contribute personal essays from my experience as a black woman. Looks like I have two assignments from AARP already, and the first is at $1 a word. Big shout-out to my Den accountability partner Ayelet, who encouraged me to keep up my LinkedIn contacts!

Hear from a few of our members
"$700 ARTICLE—FOR MY DREAM PUB!"
I got my first assignment letter yesterday, from my first round of pitches in the Freelance Marketing Mastery bootcamp! I’m SUPER stoked, because it’s for a trade magazine for hospitals, which means really wonky, in-the-weeds topics for healthcare professionals. Oh—and it pays $700! The editor was very clear that’s a starter rate for an initial project, and it’ll be higher for future assignments. And this clip should help me get more clients like this one. Glad I took this Den bootcamp, which gave me the guts to go for it.

"SOLD A FEATURE TO GLASSDOOR!"
Big thanks to [pitch editor] Evan, who helped me fine-tune my LOI for Glassdoor (after being referred by a friend). I’d like to report my pitch was successful! The high visibility of Glassdoor…will provide me with a return in one way or another. It took more than 9 months total, but referrals are the way to go, even if they take a long time to gain traction.
— MARK DYSON
"GOT MY FIRST REAL CLIENT!"
I’m happy to say I’ve just landed my first ‘real’ client (i.e., not through an agency or referrals)—and it wouldn’t have happened without the Den bootcamp with Joshua Boswell. I found the contact through a Slack community in my niche. When I went to LinkedIn to connect with a member, I told her I noticed they have a lot of good stuff on their blog, and asked if they ever use outside writers. She said they were always looking! She liked my samples, but went silent after I quoted my fee. I sent a follow-up and gave a menu of prices for shorter posts up through white papers—and she offered me $500 of work. Amazing! I have a feeling this will turn into a regular gig (and I’m already thinking about upsells). This bootcamp has already more than paid for itself!

"FROM $400 A MONTH–TO 6 FIGURES!"
My first three months as a freelancer, I made $400 a month. I just did my taxes, and I made well over $100,000 freelancing! Considering that last January and February I only made $1,500-2,000 a month, I’m pretty amazed—and I owe a LOT of it to what I learned from the Den!
— KAT TRETINA
"QUADRUPLED MY INCOME!"
I’ve been a member of the Den for a few years, starting when I was just contemplating going full time. From the forums, to the bootcamps, to the Thursday calls, there’s a wealth of information for whatever point you’re at in your freelance career. I’ve been able to quadruple my income!

Got Questions?
Who is this for?
The Freelance Writers Den is for you if you:
- Need to launch your freelance writing biz now
- Are freelancing, but not earning well
- Have questions you’d like to bounce off some writing pros
- Want a shortcut to figuring out the freelance-writing game
- Don’t want to pay thousands for each course you take
- Worry about scams
- Find fears are holding you back
- Don't know what to charge
- Aren't getting enough client leads — or only getting lowball offers
- Have never marketed your writing and need to learn how
- Have client problems you need help with
- Desire to up your skills and affordably learn better-paid types of freelance writing
Who is this NOT for?
This is not for you if you're looking for a get-rich-quick scheme or aren't ready to do the work. It's also not for you if you're just looking for a job board or dashboard of assignments — we teach you to find writing jobs yourself instead of relying on these race-to-the-bottom sources.
The Freelance Writers Den provides you with the community, tools, and strategies you need to up-level your freelance writing career, but ultimately it is up to you to do the work!
What if I join and change my mind?
Not sure if the Den is for you? We provide a 7-Day Money-Back Guarantee. You can join and try it out for a week. If you find it's not a fit, let us know. We will cheerfully refund your money! We only want Den members who are thrilled to be here.
What is the difference between the monthly and annual plan?
Both plans include access to the FULL Den Membership. However, we offer month-to-month plans for $40 if you're not ready to commit to a full year of membership yet. If you ARE ready to join for the full year, you can save by choosing our Black Friday deal of only $90 for your entire first year ($400 per year after that).
JOIN THE FREELANCE WRITERS DEN TODAY!
Whether you’re a newbie just starting out or a mid-career writer looking to up-level your business , there’s a spot for you in the Den. But we only open doors for membership twice a year, which means if you're interested in joining us, NOW is your chance.
Two options: month-to-month or an annual plan. Both are on sale during our Black Friday sale!
