Kevin Corbley – Business Boot Camp for Freelance Writers Standard
The business know-how you need to set up and operate a successful freelance writing business.
What too many freelancers fail to realize is that their business skills will be more important than their writing skills to succeed in this highly competitive market.
That’s why I created Business Boot Camp for Freelance Writers.
Commercial organizations around the world need freelance writers just like you to write articles, web sites, press releases, blogs and lots of other content!
This self-paced course includes video classes and supporting documents. It will teach you how to start and operate a professional freelance writing business that taps into the huge market for professional writing services.
Business Boot Camp will prepare you to:
- Earn top dollar for your writing services with sophisticated pricing and negotiating strategies,
- Keep your work pipeline full through continuous marketing and sales activities,
- Grow your business by pursuing and winning bigger deals with clients.
This is not a writing course. Business Boot Camp is a business course for writers who want to earn serious money using the writing skills they’ve worked so hard to develop.
