Want to earn guaranteed $$$$ each month?
If you're spending your days (and probably nights) looking for high paying writing gigs...
Or constantly fighting the feast-or-famine cycle as a freelancer... you're probably burning out fast.
You can end this stress, and create a freelance biz where you start each month with fat retainer checks hitting your bank.
The secret isn’t adding more hours (or clients) to your day. Instead, shift your mindset to adding value to your clients, instead of 'producing content.'
Learn the secret few freelancers already know — being a content strategist (not 'just a blogger') is your move-up plan. Jobs are going begging in this niche, offering $10K-$30K retainer work. And once you gain experience, you could go after FT jobs in this field at $60K-$80K a year and more.
You can gain high paying retainer work by helping your clients learn what content to create and how to deliver and promote it.
Turn your content writing into a profitable career with reliable retainer income.

Praise for Our Courses
"I've made $2,500"
I took your course, Jennifer, and have been writing for three months. It's been awesome! So far, I've made $2,500. I wouldn't have been able to do it without having taken your course.
—Lindsay VanSomeren
"Put on retainer for 5 posts a month!"
I started having some major A-HA! moments and by the time I’d finished your course, I felt like (for the first time in a long time) I wasn’t going to have to rely on content mills just to make a couple bucks as a writer. It didn’t take long before one of my pitches got noticed… I was put on retainer for 5 posts a month.
—Jenn Flynn-Shon
"3 clients... Average monthly pay: $3,000"
After taking your course and practicing what I learned, I have three clients. Writing for a travel company, world wide destinations. Average monthly pay: $3,000

What makes this program unique?
Quickly gain useful skills
There are more than a few courses, ebooks and teachers available online, offering to teach you about content writing or strategy. Many cost $1000-$2000, and take a whole year. So this is not your only option. But we’re confident it’s one of the best. It's also a 1-month intensive that helps you quickly acquire content strategy skills you can use today to command higher rates... not a long-term commitment.
NOTE: Often, people who offer to teach you online have just a few months' experience themselves. A writer learns just enough to get a freelance career going, then decides it'd be easier to teach a course than hustle for gigs!
Learn from writing experts
But inexperienced teachers can’t give you the tried and tested advice or the well-honed insights that you’d get from someone with longstanding success in paid content writing. That’s why Jennifer and Carol have joined forces to deliver this training for you… they EACH have more than a decade of paid freelance-writing client experience, so they know what it really takes to attract and please content-strategy clients who pay pro rates.
Finally, no other course online comes with a month of full access to everything in our Freelance Writers Den community — you get 300+ hours of additional learning opportunities, our Junk-Free Job Board, 24/7 forums, support from 1,400+ members, and more. All for the price of this single course. From fear-busting to marketing to learning blogging for business clients, we have dozens of other bootcamps to supplement your learning.
More course benefits:
- Stop dreaming, start earning. Put your training to work and get hired!
- Save time and avoid rookie mistakes. No need for trial and error with our step-by-step guidance.
- Quit searching for ways to “monetize” your personal blog, and earn reliable money as a content strategist.
- Move up from low-paid SEO blog writing and be the 'brain' who delivers everything from planning and strategy to content writing and social messages.
- Gain confidence through action with homework and feedback from the experts.
- Know your real-world value and set your freelance rates accordingly.
- Keep it quck and simple. We’ve distilled this to just 4 steps. Add value (and get a raise!) from existing clients, learn how to evaluate content needs, create a content strategy plan, and discover how to get hired as a content strategist, at pro rates.

"Got my first real client–and launched my career"
"After just a few weeks in the Den, I went to a networking event and got my very first REAL client – one who was willing to pay a professional rate. I’ve since used the Den’s resources to build an SEO-friendly website that’s brought in more work opportunities than I know what to do with! My cannabis writing took off, and now I have three regular clients, plus two more that give me project work.
If you’re a freelance writer, and you want to take your business to the next level, join The Freelance Writers Den. It’s one of the best investments you can make.”
—Daryl Watson, The Cannabis Copywriter, the cannabiscopywriter.com
"Got my first $3,000 contract!"
"In my Den bootcamp, I learned how to identify profitable niches and prospects relevant to my background and interests, including government contracting. Armed with my scripts vetted by Carol Tice and the bootcamp team, I reached out to a former colleague and shared my niche areas. We never got farther down the referral script than that. He immediately said that he had a few projects right now.
We met, discussed his needs, and I negotiated a higher quote. The Den’s Get Your First Freelance Writing Jobs Bootcamp got me my first $3,000 contract! Without the bootcamp, I wouldn’t have reached out to this contact, and I would have woefully underbid. The bootcamp has more than paid for itself!"
—Lisa Rupple, Cleveland, Ohio
"Assignments have been up to my neck lately, which is why I quit my job earlier than I had planned."
"I now have two corporate clients, and they provide recurring jobs. There are two more who I work with on a per article basis… Assignments have been up to my neck lately, which is why I quit my job earlier than I had planned."
—Maricel Rivera
Why learn content strategy now?
This is a growing market, with plenty of good clients available -- check the online job ads and behold the thousands of listings, if you haven't yet seen. Clients are desperate for smart content strategists as they're overwhelmed with other marketing tasks or have old-school marketing staff who don't 'get' content marketing. They tend to search for a turnkey content strategist who can handle all their content needs, rather than for a 'freelance blogger.'
Better yet, with the world economy headed down, content is one of the most affordable types of marketing companies can do to keep their message out there. Where expensive billboards, print, and radio ads may be cut back, expect demand for content marketing to GROW, not shrink, in the coming months!
Corporate layoffs are likely ahead, and more companies are learning from COVID19 how to work with remote team members. All of that perfectly positions well-trained freelance content strategists to earn big. Dive in NOW to get a head start and stay ahead of the competition.
No-Risk Guarantee

(We’d like to say “No questions asked,” but we’ll be dying to know how we can make our classes better.)
