This is bananas 🍌 butIf you want to launch and/ This is bananas 🍌 butIf you want to launch and/or grow your freelance writing career without hustle-related stress and overwhelm, listen up. ☕️⠀ ⠀ I'm taking on 25 writers to experience $5K Freelance Writing (5kfreelancewriting.com) my high-vibe, low-stress, unlimited-success game plan for freelance copywriters and content writers who are ready to stop struggling and start making an actual living. 💸⠀ ⠀ I've been building this intensive, life-changing online course 6+ months and I'm SO excited to share it, but first I want YOUR feedback, so this beta is low-cost and full of customized coaching (so you get just what you need). 🙏⠀ ⠀ You'll learn exactly how to establish yourself as an expert, stand out from the freelancing crowd, get better clients, make more money, and put long term success plans in place.⠀ ⠀ That means you won't be freaking out over a lack of clients 6 months from now! 🚫⠀ ⠀ This beta program is catered to those who are prone to stress, anxiety and overwhelm because success should never come at the expense of your wellbeing.⠀ ⠀ In fact, without wellness, you are not successful. I want to show you how to grow your career without sacrificing yourself--- because you deserve nothing less. ❤️⠀ ⠀ I've had major highs and lows in my career... but I learned how to claim expert status, identify red flag clients, 5x my rates, find writing work while traveling (yes, I did that laptop-in-the-hammock cliche), recover from mistakes, handle negative feedback, develop long term lucrative relationships, and SO much more.⠀ ⠀ I've done everything from blogging for indie wellness brands to copywriting for the world's biggest fashion brands. 👍⠀ ⠀ All of that experience wouldn't mean much, though, if I wasn't *still* freelancing. I won't be teaching you what I was doing 5 years ago (or even 2 years ago). Instead, I'm going to teach you what will work right now. This industry changes fast, and we'll hit the ground running together.⠀ ⠀ If you're interested, visit 5kfreelancewriting.com. Doors close tonight at midnight (ET) and our seats are already filling up. 🔥🔥⠀ ⠀ Questions? DM me or comment below.⠀ ⠀ Become a founding member! 👉👉 5kfreelancewriting.com
How do you go from the occasional side-hustle free How do you go from the occasional side-hustle freelance writer to the $5-10k per month, hitting goals, living well? 🤔💰📝⠀ ⠀ It's not a step 1) Find your niche, step 2) Blah blah blah.⠀ So what is it?⠀ ⠀ It's a full-on transformation! 🙌⠀ ✔️ Your confidence⠀ ✔️ Your commitment⠀ ✔️ Your daily routine⠀ ✔️ What vibes you're giving off...⠀ ⠀ AND whether you've built yourself the right foundation and are using the right strategies.⠀ ⠀ It's holistic. 👐 When you're so set up for success that you KNOW it's all going in your favor, you stop fretting, stop stalling, stop desperately firing off proposals for any job.⠀ ⠀ You can read blog posts and download checklists all day, but unless you're stepping INTO the life and energy of a successful freelance writer, you'll keep falling short. 😕⠀ ⠀ Yesterday I opened my beta course: $5K Freelance Writing, which teaches you how to make that leap: 5kfreelancewriting.com 💰📝✨⠀ ⠀ ⚠️ I'm taking 25 founding members through the foundational set-up and total vibe/habit upgrade that MOST freelancers are missing.⠀ ⠀ We'll cover ALL of the basics *in the right order*, then get deep about hitting that next level. ✨✨⠀ ⠀ We'll also become a tight knit family who celebrate, brainstorm, and grow together. ❤️⠀ ⠀ I'll be doing individual mentoring, Q&A calls, and on-the-go training to make sure you get what you need.⠀ ⠀ The course runs 8/24 ~ end of September, but the doors close tomorrow and we're ONLY taking 25 writers. ❗️ And some of those seats are already filled.⠀ ⠀ This brand new course can help you add $5K+ to your monthly income with high-quality freelance writing jobs you love. 💸✨⠀ ⠀ And friends, the financial commitment will never be this low again.⠀ The beta price is insanely low. ;)⠀ ⠀ 👉 There are still some seats left, so check out 5kfreelancewriting.com for all of the details. ⠀ ⠀ If you're serious about freelance writing success, I hope you'll become one of our founding members.⠀ ⠀ Doors close Friday (tmrw!) at 11:59pm (or when we hit 25 people).⠀ ⠀ P.S. I make ~$10K per month using these very same techniques I'm teaching. No BS. Full course details are at 5kfreelancewriting.com ☕️⠀
Sooo, we get a lot of DMs from writers asking if w Sooo, we get a lot of DMs from writers asking if we can hire them. 🤔 We're not hiring writers -- I write all of our blog content myself -- but we CAN help you find work the effective way. 👍✨⠀ ⠀ (Random DMs begging for virtually any form of work isn't helping you. 👀)⠀ ⠀ Our entire method is based on launching and growing your career LONG-TERM instead of using these little flash in the pan, scatter DMs everywhere "strategies". Those aren't much of a strategy, if you ask me.⠀ ⠀ SO!

Ready for another freelance writer Q&A? This week Ready for another freelance writer Q&A? This week we chatted with health & sustainability writer Sarah Johnson (@sarjo__), founder of sarahjohnson.org. She dropped some of the best advice for freelance writers that we've seen yet.⠀ ⠀ After leaving the 9-5 and seeking a more passionate, freedom-filled lifestyle, she DIY'd her writing career and learned how to handle criticism along the way. (Also, you're going to love her go-to mantra.) ⠀ ⠀ ☕️ Check out her interview on the blog! ⠀ https://freelancewritingcafe.com/sarah-johnson-health-sustainability-writer/⠀ ⠀ #freelancewritingcafe #freelancewriter #freelanceinspiration #freelancewritertips #freelancewritingtips #freelancewritingsuccess #freelancesuccesstips #freelancewriting #upworkfreelancer #freelancelifestyle #freelancelife #writerlifestyle #writerslife #lifeofawriter #writersofinstagram #workfromanywhere #workhardanywhere #mobileoffice #digitalnomad #womenwhowrite #femalefreelancer #freelancingfemales #femalefounders #womeninbiz #femalewriters #femaleentrepreneurs #writingwhilefemale #girlboss #bossbabe #creativepreneurs⠀
I'm accepting this challenge in honor of Pinar Gü I'm accepting this challenge in honor of Pinar Gültekin, a 27-year-old who was brutally murdered by her ex-partner, and all women who face violence, fear, and oppression on a regular basis. ⠀ ⠀ This movement has put a steady cascade of monochrome faces on our feeds, showcasing the brave babes who hold up half the world (and sometimes more). The challenge started as a way to call attention to #femicide in Turkey and to hold the oppressive leadership accountable. ⠀ ⠀ Read this @auturkishculturalclub post for details:⠀ https://www.instagram.com/p/CC8kwODhEjo/⠀ ⠀ This challenge has also allowed women a moment to appreciate their own faces and show up on social media, even when they don't usually post selfies. It was a delight to see your gorgeous faces on my feed.⠀ ⠀ There's an ongoing debate as to whether this photo-based movement is valid or whether it's based on vanity and cluttering up news feeds. But I can't see how shaming a woman for posting her face on the internet is a good idea either. Seems contrary to the cause.⠀ ⠀ Thank you to my beautiful friends for tagging me in this challenge and specifically to the amazing @travelwithclem for tagging FWC as well. ♥️ ⠀ ⠀ #womenholduphalftheworld
