Ash Ambirge – Earn a 6-Figure (Super!) Salary with Creative Writing

The Typical Path of a Freelancer Writer Goes a Liiiiiiittle Bit Like This…

Say “Au Revoir” to Uninspiring Projects From Hell (That Pay Crap & Make Driving for Uber Seem More Lucrative)

For Creative Writers Who Want to Earn $100,000+ Doing Work That’s Fun

Don’t Charge $15/Hour—Learn How to Charge $150

It’s Okay If You’re Inexperienced and Don’t Have a Portfolio Yet

Here’s What’s in This Fun-Filled Freelancing Guide:

1. Writing, Money, Cashflow—And How to 3X Your Compensation ?
Or: It’s not what your writing costs, it’s what it’s worth—and how to price yourself accordingly (plus the most common pricing pitfalls of doooom.)
2. Standing Out, Finding Lucrative Gigs, and Crafting Strategic Expertise ?‍?
Your job is not to write: it’s to solve people’s problems with your writing. This means you need to approach your creative writing business MUCH differently than other freelance writers. (Hint: A lot of the selling you will do happens on what’s called “the back end”—and no, it won’t be on your website…and no, you won’t be on Fiverr.com, either!)
3. Getting Your Name Out There ?
How does a writer build a reputation? How do you become THE go-to writer with a waitlist? Here, we’ll talk about the 3 places you MUST publish your writing, and for three very different reasons: one is for exposure, one is for sales, and the third is for trust.
4. Say This When You Get an Inquiry…Not That! (Massively Important) ?
There’s a lot that can help you in the world of freelancing, but fewer things will be (surprisingly) more important than this. Get this step right, and you can quadruple your earnings with our process.
5. Say These Magic Words Over the Phone ?
You’ve gotten a new client inquiry—woo hoo!—and now it’s time to get on the phone. ACK, I KNOW, SCARY. But also totally not scary once you learn the #1 thing you need to do when you get on the phone—and how handle the conversation like a pro. The best part? You WON’T have to answer the “how much does this cost?!” money question! (Phew.) In fact, our process requires that you don’t.
6. How to Write a Proposal That Sells ?
Yes, you do need a proposal and here’s why: it’s the difference between eating at a fast-food burger joint and a Michelin-starred restaurant: same ingredients, much different price points. (Plus, without one, you’re going to end up making 50% less money, while doing 50% more work. Eeeekkkk.)
7. A Meaty, Hairy Proposal in the Flesh ⚡️
Of COURSE we’ve gone ahead and developed a professional client proposal, in-full, so you can see a solid example of the type of information you need to include, and how to word it so it SELLS. And not just sells, but earns double, triple, quadruple the rate.
8. Client Follow-Up & Closing the Deal ?
There are six possible scenarios that can happen once you send the proposal—and we’re going to go through ALL of them to help you close the client and rock the biz…for more money than you ever imagined.
9. Professional Contracts & Agreements (Yay!) ?
Sending a lock-tight client contract is not weird, not overkill, and not going to make you look like you’re an untrusting, suspicious little worm. ? It’s going to have the opposite effect: it’s going to make you look like a pro. (It’s also going to defend you from chargebacks, mid-project cancellations, non-payment and other incidents that sometimes happen.)
10. Client Onboarding & Best Practices for Project Management ?‍♀️
You know what’s actual magic in disguise? Deadlines! Even though you’re a freelancer now and you want to run off into the sunset with a cocktail without ever having another deadline again, learning how to assign yourself, and your clients, deadlines is a critical part of the planning & project management that will, I promise, give you MORE freedom, not less.
11. Deliver Your Draft So They’ll Respect Your Effort ?
Otherwise titled: how to deliver your, ahem, delicious deliverables so that the client is 700,528% more likely to LOVE THEM. Packaging makes a big difference in perception, so here you’re going to learn how to “dress” your writing for success.
12. Extend Client Lifetime Value—And Make Every Client Worth Three ?
Most freelancers wrap up a project and then they’re onto the next one: searching, hunting, scrambling, constantly looking for business. They’re onto the next client, the next gig, the next thing. But what they don’t realize is: the business is right in front of them! They’ve just got to learn how to take it. In our final lesson, I’ll teach you how to re-pitch your existing clients and get them signed up for monthly retainers…so you get consistent, predictable revenue, and they get a solid partner who’s going to help them crush it over and over again! ?
