This is a secret page! Don’t tell anyone; this special back door into The Freelance Blogger’s Client Hunting Masterclass is only for subscribers and friends of Be a Freelance Blogger.

Want more big-budget blogging clients, but

don’t know WHERE and HOW to get them?

You’ve got a laptop, a way with words and a drive to succeed. But that doesn’t seem to be enough. Instead of making it big in the freelance blogging world you’re making it, um, small-to-medium.

It’s frustrating: you know you can write. You’ve seen other freelance bloggers making a real professional income from their blog posts. $100 per post. $200 per post. $300 and even more. The ads you see online don’t offer that kind of pay. What are you missing?

The reason top freelance bloggers get paid in hundreds:
client hunting skills.

Hunting for clients is a basic skill for any freelancer. It’s easy once you know how. But if you don’t know how, you’re screwed:

• You waste time looking in all the wrong places
• You send email after email but you don’t know if anybody reads them
• You chicken out in negotiations and wind up working for low pay
• In short, you’re left wondering WTF you have to do to get a well-paid blogging gig

…unless you find out from somewhere, from someone who’s figured it out. Someone like me.

Yes, hello! I’m Sophie Lizard, founder of Be a Freelance Blogger.

If you’ve visited this blog before, then you know I’m serious about showing you how to win at freelance blogging.

Now I’m inviting you to take the next step:

Learn EXACTLY how you can find and win high-paying clients, with real-life examples from my freelance blogging business.

 
The Freelance Blogger’s Client Hunting Masterclass is designed to get you better clients and more money.

In this training course you’ll get access to exclusive video tutorials, downloadable resources, real-life examples, expert tips and next-step tactics for success. We’ll chat in the comments and via email to answer all your questions, plus we’ll meet up live online at the end of the course.

I’ve roped in some of my professional blogger friends to share their tips with us, too, so you’ll get bonus knowledge and resources from our guest experts along with my advice.

THIS TRAINING IS FOR YOU IF…

• You love blogging and devour “how to blog better” tips for breakfast, lunch and dinner
• You’re committed to expanding your client base and finding higher-paying clients
• You’re ready to try new ideas and see what happens

DO NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS COURSE IF…

• You’re broke. Yes, this is an investment in your future, but if you’re struggling to cover your living costs then now is not the right time. [Talk to me about getting a free mentoring session instead to help you earn more money.]
• You can’t commit to spending at least 20 hours of your time on the course. Spread it over more than 8 weeks if you like, but you will need to put some time into this to see results.
• You’ve never written a blog post, article or other non-fiction. This course is about finding clients for the blogging and writing skills you already have. If you need to learn to blog, please do that first. [Ask me if you need help.]

If you’re already sure you want in on this, skip the long description and join now.

Here’s how to book your spot on the

Freelance Blogger’s Client Hunting Masterclass

This isn’t some huge internet marketing thing where you sign up, get sent a bunch of emails, and never hear from another human being. It’s all run by one person (me) and the only aim is to earn you more money.

Places on the fully-guided training course are limited—not by technology, but by choice, because I want to be sure that you get the most from it. In a small group, I’ll be able to give you the personal attention you need to succeed. We’ll work through one lesson each week for 8 weeks. The next guided training starts January 17th, 2014, or choose the self-guided option below to get started now.

OK, so by this point you probably want to know what the special prices are…

Entry Level Client Hunting Masterclass: $197 $147

You get lifetime access to the Client Hunting Masterclass lesson videos, resources and online group meetings, with direct, personalised support via public comments and private emails. I’ll email you a new lesson each week and answer all your questions so you never feel stuck or confused about how to apply this training in real life.

For an even bigger boost to your client-hunting skills, try this instead:

Kick-Ass Client Hunting Masterclass: $397 $297

Self-Guided Client Hunting Masterclass: $98 $77

You get instant access to all 8 lesson videos and a downloadable copy of The Freelance Blogger’s Client Hunting Handbook to walk you through them. That means you can start whenever you like and study at your own pace. You don’t get access to the full library of bonus resources, or any direct support from me, but you will be invited to our quarterly live group meetups online to discuss the lessons and get your questions answered.

100% Money Back Guarantee

There will be no half-hearted bloggers in this training! To make sure of that, if you sign up and then wish you hadn’t, I’ll refund your money any time in the first 30 days.

I’m not gonna say “no questions asked”, because I’ll be dying to learn what changed your mind. But if it’s not right for you, all you need to do is let me know.

I was blown away by this course. I even used a technique taught during Week 6 to turn a one-off gig into an ongoing source of monthly work. I was shocked that this technique worked — it was so stupidly simple! — and it was the final thing that cinched this class in my mind as FREAKIN’ AWESOME.

This class gave me something incredibly rare among e-courses: Results. Sophie has many qualities that are invaluable in a mentor, but the one that’s most precious is this: She cares about her students as people, not as a source of income. She truly WANTS you to succeed as a freelance blogger. Even if it means kicking your butt to make it happen.

Seriously, do you want to work with clients you love?

Do you want to earn more money in less time?

Of course you do. Let’s get started.

If this were a standard sales page, this is the part where I’d repeat all the package info and signup buttons. But I’m pretty sure you know how to look back up the page, find the yellow button you want, and click it. Right?
