I’ve appreciated this course. It’s been the kick in the pants I’ve needed to get a simple website up. I know the website still needs a lot of tweaking, but a lot of decisions have been made and it’s up. I can make it better bit by bit.
Thanks for laying out the info step by step, requiring homework, giving encouraging feedback. It was just the help I needed.
Also want to say a big thank you to Jen, Omer, and Robyn for the live Q&A calls. Those were very encouraging and your patience and answers much appreciated.

Manufacturing writer
"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
“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!”

“Thank you so much for your feedback on my LOI's. After my pitch review, I sent a pitch to a company called eyeQ, through a colleague of mine who's connected with the CEO. He sent it to the CEO — who emailed me about 20 minutes later, asking if I could meet him and a couple of the other execs in person next week!! So exciting!”
Amy Hardison White
Austin-based B2B/SaaS writer
“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!"
