Make it as a freelance copywriter
once and for all.
once and for all.
Sick and tired of not realising your potential as a freelance copywriter?
Know you’re a great writer but struggle to find the clients, set the fees and run a business worthy of your words?
You are not alone
That was my story for the first three years of business.
I knew I could write but didn’t know HOW to run a business.
How to put myself out there, charge my worth or build profitable and enjoyable client relationships.
I knew I could write but didn’t know HOW to run a business.
How to put myself out there, charge my worth or build profitable and enjoyable client relationships.
I was so determined to do what I love but clueless about how to make it work.
Plus, I didn’t know what I didn’t know - which is like hiking a mountain blindfolded without a guide.
But there was no way I was giving up.
I only wished there was someone or something that would help me on my way.
After months and years of tears, sweat and agony, I finally figured out a few things.
- I invited coaches, mentors and specialists into my business and began to believe in my potential.
- I turned my back on ‘hard’ and embraced business on my terms.
- I created hacks and tools to shortcut the toughest bits of the job.
- I realised there is no rule book, there’s just you, doing what you do, in a way that makes sense for you and your business.
Because my mission is to help people do what they love, I want to give other freelance copywriters what I wish I had all those years ago.

FAQs
Will I make my money back?
Yes. I can't guarantee HOW you'll make it back but I can be sure that you will.
It might happen in obvious ways. Because you increase your fees or because you nail your niche and start attracting the right clients.
Or it might happen more subtly. Because you've learned how to use contracts to ensure every edit and change request is chargeable. It might happen because the proposal ideas help you convert more clients. It might happen because you meet someone in the Facebook group and decide to collaborate.
It might happen because you've discovered how to charge for value not just time.
There's TONS of value here but the truth is, this is not a purchase. It's an investment. Making your money back comes down to what you choose to do with the information and opportunities waiting for you inside Kickstart.

How much time should I put aside for the course?
Each module takes 25 minutes or less to complete although you might like to put aside more time to think or action the ideas shared. The group, one-to-one and mastermind calls each last for one hour.
How do the coaching calls work?
Both group and one-to-one calls happen on Zoom during business hours (GMT). Use the calls any way you like - to dig deeper into the lessons, to ask further questions about the course concepts or to explore wider themes around freelancing that are holding you back.
You say more coaching calls are available. How does that work?
Two coaching calls are included in the course. But you might like another ... or six! Building a brilliant copywriting business takes courage, but you absolutely don't have to go it alone. If you'd like more support, let me know.
How long does the course last?
The course is released one module at a time over an 8-week period. Each module takes no more than 25 minutes to complete although you might like to put aside more time to think or action the ideas shared.
60-day money back guarantee
If you complete my course, take action on my advice and fully utilise the coaching call I offer and STILL don’t charge what you’re worth, get a new client or make your money back on this course (and some!) in the next 60 days, then I will happily offer you a full refund. I stand behind my methodology for you to build a thriving copywriting business.
