Most freelance writers share the same major goal — to make more money.
The reality is many freelancers are seriously struggling to make a go of running their own business. They have a hard time finding quality clients, and as a result, they end up turning to content mills (like Textbroker and Writer Access), gig sites (think Fiverr), or even low quality job boards (Craigslist and the like).
Industry veteran Carol Tice, founder of the Freelance Writers Den, has seen it all a million times. For years, she’s been coaching freelancers on how to build a thriving business where they can make real money and avoid the stress of wondering if they’ll be able to pay this month’s bills.
Along with another seasoned freelancing vet, Linda Formichelli, Tice created Escape the Content Mills, a 4-week bootcamp where writers can learn “the step-by-step blueprint to help you start earning what you’re worth.”
Since 2008, Carol Tice has been teaching freelancers how to grow their business on her popular MakeALivingWriting blog, and in 2011, she founded the Freelance Writers Den, a membership community with hundreds of hours of courses and training materials for freelancers looking to take their careers to the next level.
Now, Tice is presenting Escape the Content Mills one final time, this time alongside Sarah Greesonbach, another longtime pro who has also worked with many freelancers to help grow their careers.

How Much Is It?
So, how much does it cost to take Escape the Content Mills?
Here’s what the instructors have to say, “Get the full 4-week Escape the Content Mills Bootcamp, plus the massively popular 4-Week Journalism School, plus numerous bonus course materials, plus your first month FREE in the Freelance Writers Den — well over $750 total in value — for only $297. That’s more than 60% off the full price!”
Our thoughts?
While $297 is a significant investment, especially if you’re a struggling writer getting paid low rates, the value here is truly exceptional. Even if you disregard the hundreds of dollars of bonuses included, the content in the Escape the Content Mills bootcamp can teach you how to double, triple, quadruple, or more your income.
In other words, it’s a small investment that should more than pay off if you implement what you’re taught into your freelance business.
