I bet you’ve had some success with freelance writing.
But I bet you wish you had more. Like Gina Horkey, who made over 9K in June 2015.
Great news! I’ve discovered something that will help!
It’s an e-course called 30 Days or Less to Freelance Writing Success.
Write Your Way to Your First #1K
30 Days or Less to Freelance Writing Success was created by Gina Horkey, a freelancer I met through Elna Cain, another freelancer I know and who happens to live in the same city as I do!
NOTE: I have met Elna for lattés at Starbucks several times. In fact, we get together regularly. She even interviewed me on Innovative Ink.
Yeah, Elna rocks. 😉 She’s my new best friend. 🙂 And she sells a course for writers, too, called Write Your Way to Your First $1K.
But… back to Gina…
Gina created 30 Days or Less to Freelance Writing Success
Gina rocks, too. 🙂
Gina Horkey runs Horkey Handbook and is the creator of 30 Days or Less to Freelance Writing Success.
It’s a huge help to freelancers!
I’ve gone through the course; I should know. 🙂
And I loved it.
I learned from it, too. A lot!
30 — NO, 32 — Days of Goodness!
This course actually consists of 32 lessons.
In it you will learn:
- why you want to make a name for yourself in the freelance writing space
- how to create specific income goals for yourself and your business
- who’s in your support system
- how to narrow down 2-3 different types of writing you want to try
- how to choose those primary and secondary niches
- how to bootstrap your business
- a few new ways to use Google
- how to format blog posts
- how to find and source free photos
- how to build samples for your portfolio
- how to decide on a web home base
- how to set your rates
- how to develop your pitch
- how to implement four successful habits for pitching jobs
- where and how to use job boards
- the right questions to ask prospects (a super-important lesson!!!)
- how to implement an accounting system for your business
- how to secure at least one testimonial
- how to draft your bio
- how to choose and implement your social media presence for your business
- how to start a Hire Me page (if you launched your own website)
- three new ways to brand your business
- four ways to protect yourself online
- two new ways to maximize your email presence
- three new tips for building strategic relationships
- how to add your Gravatar and start connecting with other bloggers
- why you should consider working with a mentor
- some blogging and email list strategies
- what options to consider for diversifying your new freelance business
- how to make money and become an affiliate (like I am)
- how to construct a writing resumé
Gina says:
I chose to offer the course in a 30-day email format, knowing that if you bite off a small chunk every day for 30 days, you can more easily digest and use the material. By the end of the 30 days, you will have built a solid foundation to launch your business!
The course is designed so that you can take it at your own pace. At the bottom of each email, there is a link to get the next lesson in your inbox ASAP. I wanted people that had more time or desire to be able to get through the material more quickly if they wanted to. On the flip side, if someone wanted to do a lesson every few days, they could do that too. You decide when you get the next lesson, so you can tackle it at your own pace.

Hello Lorraine,
As I am moving towards the freelancing work and looking for a perfect solution for freelance. After reading your blog I got everything cleared. You simply explain all the points. Thanks you for your support. You have done an outstanding job.
You’re welcome!
hy Lorraine
this is a very informative article by this course. its really helpful thanks for sharing this
You’re welcome!
Hi! So, I have a question. I have been wanting to take my writing up to the next level. I wanted to take this course and another one that was mentioned so I can better my craft. However, I have no money and am unable to work at the moment. Should I sign up for a couple of writing websites, if only to scrounge up some cash to pay for the course? I am a beginner when it comes to writing, but I WANT to get paid for freelance work, if only a little.
Henry,
First of all, don’t underestimate your worth. Your writing is strong, based on comment. Charge at least 10 cents USD per word, even if you are starting out.
Secondly, why are you unable to work right now?
Thirdly, get yourself a free website on WordPress.com and set up a page where you can direct people to that outlines your rates. Start blogging. Create samples.
Finally, save money and invest in a course. You will earn more once you know what you are in store for and you will be able to raise your rates as you learn!
Good luck and I wish you all the best!
Lorraine
I aspire to become a creative content writer and very much fond of tech and science related Niche. Your blog post is something which I am looking for a long time,

Hey,
Marvelous course content Gina. I’m a specialist from a long time and picking up a better than average measure of money with it. I’m making for some online brands. It took me over a year to make brilliant substance. It’s genuinely difficult to be an uncommon writer. I got the hang of everything by my own particular in light of the way that I haven’t discovered any course like recorded above at my fundamental period of autonomous organization. I recognize Gina for making such a better than average course and I figure one must join this to be a productive Independent creator in light of the fact that each and everything recorded in the course substance is absolutely capable and will help you to win on the web.
On behalf of Gina, thank you!
I am glad you liked this course, Kailash!
Cheers to your continued success!
Hi Lorraine,this is very informative article.I have gained a lot from this content.One of best ways to make more money is freelancing.If you get hire by people who can paid up to $100 even more per article,you just need to get 10 offers to make your first $1K.Learning from people who have success in freelancing is an added advantage to get fast result without wasting much time.

Hello there Lorraine,
A debt of gratitude is in order for sharing this course. It appears to be quite great and I may investigate it. The more you take in the better, isn’t that so?
I am working with a mentor who’s helping me characterize my correct potential client(s) on the grounds that this will center my written work a specific way. Those things are so critical to comprehend as independent authors, and even as business people of any business.
Have a superb day.
Having a mentor is great! I think everyone should have one!
Elna is a great mentor many people, and so is Gina.
Hi,
Awesome course content Gina. I’m a consultant from quite a while and gaining a decent measure of cash with it. I’m composing for some online brands. It took me over a year to create superb substance. It’s truly hard to be an extraordinary essayist. I learned everything by my own in light of the fact that I haven’t found any course like recorded above at my underlying phase of independent composition. I acknowledge Gina for making such a decent course and I think one must join this to be a fruitful Freelance author on the grounds that each and everything recorded in the course substance is totally proficient and will help you to win on the web.
Gina truly knows her stuff, and this is an excellent course for freelancers everywhere! 🙂

Loving your emails, keep it up!
How much are the lessons with Gina’s course?
debb lavoie
Debb, the course costs $47. And it is soooo worth it!
Hi Lorraine
This looks like a great resource I know a good handful of people that love writing but have no idea how to get online and get results and even though I give them a ton of ideas on how to get started it is not my area of expertise and you know a preacher is never heard in his own back yard.
So I will be referring them to this review and hopefully it will help them get started.
Thanks for sharing
Mark, Gina’s course is a GREAT resource, and I encourage you to invest in it. It will change your life!
Thanks for this nice article. Keep it up. 🙂
Owais, you’re welcome. I hope this course helps you.
Maybe I should join the conversation!
Thanks Lorraine for mentioning me in your blog post! I feel honored.
Gina does have a great course so good to know you are spreading the word!
Love the new design BTW and the font!
Elna
Thanks for the compliments, Elna.
I like my new design, too!
And I’m happy to mention you!
Hi Lorraine,
Looks like a helpful course! I know how confusing freelancing can be. As a newbie I was lost. I learned through the school of hard knocks and lemma tell ya; experience did not spare the rod. I am thankful for this but also feel it’s smart to learn from a pro like Gina. Ditto on Elna too; she’s awesome.
I have fun meeting fellow freelance writers and coaches. We each have much to share and our sharing benefits all, right? Keep learning, evolving and getting clearer and clearer on your vision and you’ll naturally attract the people and resources necessary to make your online and offline dreams come true.
Thanks Lorraine!

Hi Ryan. It’s tough to learn the ropes when you’re a new freelancer, isn’t it? Only through experience — and courses like Gina’s — can we learn the ins and outs of a business that can be both lucrative and satisfying. 🙂
Elna IS awesome. I know we travel in several of the same circles on the Internet, and I’ve seen your comments on both her blog as well as a few others. 😉
Talk soon, and thanks for the Tweet!
great course content Gina. I’m a freelancer from a long time and earning a good amount of money with it. I’m writing for many online brands. It took me more than a year to produce high quality content. It’s really difficult to be a great writer. I learned everything by my own because I haven’t found any course like listed above at my initial stage of freelance writing. I appreciate Gina for creating such a nice course and I think one must join this to be a successful Freelance writer because each and everything listed in the course content is completely professional and will help you to earn online.
Regards…
John
John, I agree. This course is a definite MUST-HAVE for all new freelancers!
