Take the Mystery Out of Finding Great Writing Clients

With a Solid System That Works for You!

When I started out as a freelance writer, I had the hardest time finding great writing clients... the ones who would

* Pay good rates, not just pennies per word;

* Pay on time;

* Appreciate the work I turned in;

* Treat me fairly;

* Make reasonable requests;

* Offer valuable, constructive feedback; and

* Keep coming back for more!

Everywhere I looked, I saw successful freelance writers with amazing gigs...

while I was stuck in the pennies per word cycle with rude, unreasonable clients...

and all anyone would talk to me about was cold emailing.

Step 1, Per the experts: Send cold emails until your fingers BLEED

It seems like writers get all their writing work by pitching their writing services. That's what they're teaching, anyway.

But is that REALLY how they're getting their work?

Step 2, per the experts: get booked out just like that *snaps fingers*

After an afternoon of cold emailing, you'll be booked out for the next 3 months. Easy, peasy.

But what happens in between those emails and the whole getting booked out thing?

And what if I don't want to do cold emails? Am I stuck with the junk jobs on Upwork for the rest of my life?

step 3, per the experts: start raking in that CASH

Cha-Ching! Hello, easy 6 figures!

But not really. If it really were that simple, everyone would be doing it.

There has to be more to this whole "finding writing clients" thing than just sending cold emails.

Over time, I began to pick up on what the experts weren't telling us...

...I stopped reading all the advice, and started paying attention to what the successful writers around me were actually doing.

Eventually I found trends in what worked and what doesn't.

I tried a bunch of stuff for myself and found success. Now I want to show you how to set up your own BEST systems for finding great clients!

I Started Where You Are...

I'd been freelancing for years and still felt lost.

After reading every blog post and listening to every podcast and getting my hands on every freebie I could find, across all the different sectors and influencers and experts... I just got more discouraged.

Looking for advice on finding writing clients put me into information overload and kept me stuck and miserable. And even with all of that, it looked like the only options were some variation of cold emails... or Upwork. Yuck.

Eventually I decided just to try anything that sounded interesting, instead of the things *they said* I should do. I started filtering everything through my "is this fun, will I actually do this" lens... and I started paying attention to what people around me were *doing* and not just saying.

What I found really surprised me. Turns out, cold emails work! And they don't have to feel heinous, either. But they aren't the be-all, end all of finding writing clients....

ONCE YOU UNDERSTAND THE SYSTEMS, YOU'LL NEVER FEEL STUCK AGAIN.

Aren't you ready to get out of your own way?

Here's the thing: Nothing in this course is revolutionary. You could probably find it all on Google if you took the time to look. BUT... if you're still reading this page, you need this and not that whole "I'll find it on Google" thing. How's that working for you, after all?

Hundreds of my students have begged me to make this course for them... not because they don't know how to go to Google, but because they're overwhelmed.

What this course does is eliminate the overwhelm and give you a way to move forward. Google can't do that. Blogs can't do that. Freebies can't do that.

This course is a knife, cutting out all the junk and showing you where to focus. Stop sitting in overwhelmed stuck mode. Start taking action. Enroll today and start working out a marketing system that works for you. See where you are in a month.

WITH MY 100% SATISFACTION Guarantee,
YOU'VE GOT NOTHING TO LOSE... EXCEPT WASTED TIME.

I can't guarantee you results or money, but I stand behind this material 100%. I want you to succeed! And the best thing I can do to help you succeed is to make it as easy as possible for you to try.

If you don't love the course... if you don't come out the other side feeling confident in your ability to find clients... if you're just not impressed with how much progress this course will give you... let me know you're not happy.

If you're within 14 days of your enrollment, I'll give you all your money back. No games or obstacles, but I probably WILL ask you how it let you down. You can cut your losses and bail, with no hard feelings.

I'm that sure of this course... and I'm that sure of you! So let's DO THIS THING.

Manage your clients like a pro, from FIRST inquiry to FINAL INVOICE.

I just wanted to say how much I've loved this course. It's been a real game changer for me. As a recently widowed mom of one, the flexibility that comes with freelancing is major. I just got my first 2 clients this month, and you totally deserve a shout-out for that. Because it never would've happened without your course!

LIZ

I love your course! I've just written for fun for years and never dreamed I could monetize it. I'll be going over the modules over and over again until it's all second nature. You've got a winner here.

TERRI

Great course! I have learnt so much including that I can actually do this. I had so much reservation (and still have a bit) about writing and not being good enough and no one would want to hear what I have to say that I totally talked myself out of stepping out in faith. My current family situation requires me to have a flexible work schedule so freelance writing is a perfect match for me. Now I feel like a giant!

Client-Bound will help you save time and earn money. The purpose of the course is to demystify the process of finding great writing clients who want to hire you again and again.

In it, I explain the differences between inbound and outbound marketing, how both types of marketing "look" when you're a freelance writer, and how to execute the main strategies for the client hunt.

None of this is revolutionary but what the course does is provide a framework for action, which so many of us have trouble taking.

Client-Bound is for anyone who wants to pick up more writing work by way of freelance blogging. Many of these techniques also work for other types of writing work (both content creation and copywriting) as well as other freelance services you can offer (like graphic design and VA work).

However, if you're trying to move into more traditional copywriting, get published in magazines, or use freelance writing in support of your blog, business, coaching practice, etc., this course might not be right for you.

The ideal Client-Bound student could be a complete beginner who's ready to take action immediately.

The ideal Client-Bound student could be an "advanced beginner" who has tried to find writing work in the past and failed, or who is frustrated with the advice they're getting.

The strategies in this course are the ones that established freelance writers use frequently... so established freelance writers, while welcome to enroll, might not benefit from rehashing them.

With enough time, you can find literally everything on Google... including everything in this course. Problem is, piecing together a basic understanding of marketing AND a solid matrix of strategies can take a lot of time. (It took me well over a year to get it right!)

If you're the type to get upset when you're presented with information that "you could have found on Google for free," please do not buy this course.

If, however, you value your time... my time... my experience... ease of access... ease of delivery... clear advice... and shortcuts to paid writing work... Client-Bound is for you.

Client-Bound is self-paced and open immediately. You're in charge of when you start, and your'e in charge of when you finish. That said, I encourage you to move through the lessons as quickly as you feel comfortable and then start implementing immediately. Each module (after the first) is stand-alone; you don't have to get through the whole course to know what to do.

When you enroll in Client-Bound, you have immediate access to all the available content. The lessons are available in your course dashboard, which can be accessed from any device with an internet connection. You're also able to download every lesson to store and use on your own.

How about lifetime access to Client-Bound? After enrolling, you have unlimited access for the lifetime of the course -- across any and all devices you own.

Everything can be downloaded, too, so you can store the files on your own devices forever.

You'll also have access to future upgrades and improvements!

If you don't love Client-Bound... if you don't come out the other side feeling confident in your ability to find clients... if you're just not impressed with how much progress this course will give you... let me know you're not happy.

If you're within 30 days of your enrollment, I'll give you all your money back. No games or obstacles, but I probably WILL ask you how it let you down. You can cut your losses and bail, with no hard feelings.

IT'S TIME TO GET SERIOUS OR GO HOME.
