The Only Course You’ll Ever Need
The biggest freelancing lie.
Do a quick Google search for “freelance writing” and you’ll pull up “about 178,000,000 results” on securing jobs, landing clients, and setting rates. You’ll also come across my favorite: the “I Built a Billion-Dollar Empire from Freelancing in Just One Month” success stories.
OK, so no one (that I’ve found) has actually stated they’ve made a Billion (capital B, natch) from freelancing, but there are plenty who have written articles like:
- “I Launched a $10,000 a Month Freelance Writing Business in Under Six Months”
- “How I Built a $1,000,000 Blog”
- “I Make Over $100,000 a Month Blogging”
Huh. Given the proliferation of high rollers in the blogosphere, you’d think parents would be nudging their kids toward WordPress instead of law school.
But, give a closer look at these successful entrepreneurs and you’ll soon discover that their money is made not through blogging but rather the dreaded online course.
