TIRED OF WRITING FOR PENNIES?

Learn how to escape the content mills -- and start drastically increasing your writing income!

If you’re like most writers on Textbroker, Writer Access, Upwork, Fiverr, and other content mills and job bidding sites, chances are you’re worn out from having to churn out one article after another just to scrape together enough money to pay the bills.

Aren’t you sick of getting paid well below your worth for “filler” articles that don’t let you showcase your true talents? 

Aren’t you tired of the stress that comes with having to grind every single day writing articles on topics you don’t care about...all while missing out on precious time you could be spending with family and friends?

You’re not alone. 

We’ve surveyed hundreds of content mill writers, and the results are pretty depressing. The majority of mill writers earn $10 an hour or less

That’s just not fair.

Not surprisingly, most mill writers we’ve talked to are trying to escape the grind and want to earn more money.

GOOD NEWS...THERE'S A BETTER WAY!

You can escape the content mills and start earning way more money -- often while working less

Escape the Content Mills is an ultra-affordable, 4-week Freelance Writers Den bootcamp that will lay out the step-by-step blueprint to help you start earning what you're worth!

Plus, it comes with a HUGE bonus for every attendee -- free access to our highly popular 4-Week Journalism School, giving you even more resources to keep you on the path to success and freedom.

You'll even get a ton of other bonuses, including 4 podcasts, 7 bonus PDF workbooks, 2 ebooks, and more.

As a bootcamp attendee, you’ll also become a member of the Freelance Writers Den, the web’s top community for freelance writers.

WHAT STUDENTS ARE SAYING

"By far the most valuable part of the course has been the coaching and mentoring. "

Kylie Saunder

“I just signed my 4th retainer client and numbers 5 and 6 are about to sign as well! I've done website content for three new websites, a 4-panel brochure, and Webinar content. I got some clients from networking, and some from just changing my job title on LinkedIn, from what I learned in Launchpad. I've increased what I'm charging and at this point, my price for a blog post ranges from $125 - $400 and up. I have so much work, I'm scrambling to keep up. I'm projecting $40K in income this year. Thanks, Carol!"

Kylie Saunder Copywriter

"Got my first real client — and launched my career"

Daryl Watson

"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  

"I quit... the content mill, that is!" 

"Y’all, I did it! I’ve built enough business that I took a break from the mill in September, and I’m not going back!

Since joining the Den and learning to find clients who pay what my work is worth, I’ve cut back on mill work little by little. I’ve still got work to do to get where I want to be with my business, but I’m SO excited that all the marketing and networking efforts have started paying off. 

Thanks to Carol and all you Denizens for all the questions answered and encouragement offered along the way!
