Have a laptop or computer?
Do you love to write?
Can you write well, with proper grammar and punctuation?
If you said yes to those questions, you already have the top skills that money-making freelance writers have.
And you can use those skills to get PAID. Whether you’re looking for a side hustle, or a full-fledged business, you can start earning more money with freelance writing.
Welcome to Freedom With Freelance Writing!
When I first started as a freelance writer, I didn’t even have a laptop or computer. I began my freelance writing business in 2014 with a Microsoft Surface tablet (luckily, it was the one with an attachable keyboard). My goal was to earn $1,000/month from writing online so I could put extra money toward paying off my debt.
Once I quickly hit that milestone, I set a goal to earn $5,000 per month so I could quit my 9-5 job in web marketing to freelance full-time. Then came my $8,000/month goal (Hello 6-figures!)
I’ve actually gone on to earn multiple 6-figures from writing online in just a few years and have written for sites like LendingTree, CreditSesame, Barclaycard as well as my favorite frugal living and single mom blogs. I love what I do and the clients I work with.
My goal is to help you do the same. More people need to know that you can earn a sustainable income from freelance writing and enjoy the flexibility that comes with it. If you’re looking for more freedom and control over your schedule and your career, I’d be honored to show you the exact steps you’ll need to take.
Are you a mom who wants to earn money from home?
A professional looking for extra income?
A blogger looking to share your expertise and make money ASAP?
Or, perhaps you’re a creative hoping to launch a successful full-time business that you can do from anywhere.
If that sounds like you, get pretty excited.
We all digest so much content each and every day. If you ever stop to think where that content is coming from, you’ll realize that there is so much money to be made and a true need for your expertise in the world. We all have something that we can share to educate, entertain, and inspire someone.
Let your work shine and get paid well for what you have to offer.
Growing up we’re taught that the only way to be successful in life is to achieve the ‘American Dream’ which often means working at a 9-5 job for 40+ years and taking on a ton of debt. Not your idea of freedom? You’re not alone.
Do you want:
Freedom to escape the paycheck cycle?
Freedom to set your own schedule and choose who you work with?
Freedom to decide where you work?
Freedom to share your expertise and work on projects you enjoy?
But there’s also more.
This program will also help you become a top writer in your niche and scale up your freelance writing business.
Weeks 1-3 will walk you through how to get off to a solid start with freelance writing and gain your first clients. Weeks 4 – 6 of the program will teach you how to consistently make clients happy and get referrals along with how to scale and consider hiring other writers to help produce content for your clients.
Scaling up = Higher income capabilities with less hands-on work and the content writing agency business model is the perfect way to diversify your business.
WRONG! I happen to have a journalism degree but I’ve never actually used it to land writing jobs. No one has ever asked me what my degree was in and can’t even think of 5 times when I’ve been asked to provide a resume in the last 5 years. You don’t have to be a perfect writer or have tons of experience to get started. You don’t even have to know what a freelance writer does exactly when you’re just starting out. You can make money in this field so long as you have an interest in producing quality content and a willingness to learn the ropes.
WRONG…on so many levels! You don’t have to write content for free forever. Plus, “exposure” doesn’t pay the bills. How quickly you earn money is totally up to you. This program will show you how to choose a profitable writing niche and start making money fast. Plus, you’ll learn how to find clients who pay well and value your work. In fact, freelance writers and copywriters charge an average of $250 an hour for their work (source: Freelance Hacks).
NOT EVEN! Actually, going to a soul-crushing 9-5 job year-after-year can lead to burnout. When you’re writing content about topics that you’re interested in and passionate about and getting paid well to do it, it tends to have the opposite effect.
You have more flexibility in terms of your schedule
You start becoming available to spend more time with loved ones
Plus, you can start making more progress with your financial goals.
And did you know that many freelance writers work less than 40 hours a week (source: freelancewriting.com).
WRONG! Don’t sell yourself short by believing this myth.
There are a growing number of freelance writing opportunities out there with more being added EACH day. Freelance job boards are overflowing, but there are also a ton of individuals and businesses who are looking for writers but aren’t making it known publicly.
I’ll teach you how to find these people and win them over as clients.

What Makes Freedom With Freelance Writing Different?
There are other freelance writing courses out there, but I wanted this one to offer something unique. You will not only be learning how to become a freelance writer, but you’ll be learning how to become a high-quality writer that beats out the competition.
As someone who hires writers, I know what clients are looking for in terms of quality content and a professional writer who over-delivers and takes pride in their work. I know what makes editors happy and what makes them skip over writers’ pitches.
As someone who’s also been an active freelance writer for the past 5 years, I know how to land clients and make good money online. I also know how to scale a freelance business up and obtain a better work-life balance without sacrificing quality, clients, or income.
Another major perk of enrolling in Freedom With Freelance Writing is that it’s designed to help you land your first paying client early on so you can start making money and earning back your course investment. Getting a return on an investment is very important to me so I made sure to include this element early on in the program.
With this program, I didn’t just want to create something that would teach you how to make money online then just throw you to the wolves. Instead, I wanted to create something that would guide you step-by-step, eliminate the fluff so you can get results faster, then continue to offer support and mentorship even after the 6 weeks are over.
It took me 18 months to quit my job to freelance full-time. From there, it took me 2-3 additional years to learn everything that I’m teaching in this program. If you want to save time and money while skyrocketing your results, this is the right program for you.
This course starts as soon as your purchase is complete, and can be completed in 6 weeks, but you keep the content forever. And, if you need more time, that’s okay! You can complete this at your own pace.
No! You just need to be willing to put yourself out there, and have decent common grammar and punctuation skills. As long as you can put yourself out there and write, you can become a freelance writer.
If you already have a writing client that’s great! When considering enrolling in the program, I would recommend asking yourself a few questions:
Do you currently have processes in place to run your freelance writing service like a true business?
Do you feel like you’re earning what you’re worth and do you know how to determine a profitable and fair rate?
Are more of your pitches getting responded to than ignored?
Do you know exactly where/who to pitch and how to get more client referrals?
Do you have a community of support to offer you advice and additional resources to help you level up?
If you answered ‘no’ to any of those questions, you can definitely gain a lot by enrolling in this program even if you’ve already started down the path to becoming a freelance writer.
How does forever sound? Although this program is broken down into 6 weeks, it’s self-paced and you get to keep everything you learn so you can reference it forever!
Yes, you can! However, the money-back guarantee is only valid for 7 days after your purchase. We have the right to deny a refund request if the digital product has been completed more than 50%.
Not at the moment, but we’re working on it! Email admin@choncemaddox.com if you want to be an affiliate in the future!
No, I’d never want to lead you on with a guarantee that you’ll make a certain amount of money as a freelance writer. However, what I can guarantee is that I became a 6-figure freelance writer with no experience, and in less time than most business owners take to earn 6-figures. And, everything I teach is exactly the steps I took to become successful. So, if you’re willing to put in the work, and aren’t afraid of staying dedicated, you can be successful!
