When I decided to start taking freelancing more seriously, I joined the Den. I pitched a client that I thought was a real stretch for me, but I used Pitch Clinic for help. I suggested 3 topics in detail, complete with suggested interviews and sidebar statistics…and I landed the gig! Moreover, it pays $100 a post, which is 10x more than I thought I could ever get. Thank you so much to Carol and everyone else here who pushed me to stop taking peanuts and push myself for better gigs! — Kat Tretina
