How are other freelance writers making $100K+ a year?
Is it because ....
A) They're on a secret platform hanging out with high-paying clients
B) They only write about finance and tech
C) They're working 80-hour weeks
It's none of the above.
Instead, it's all of the below.
Introducing ...
Write Earn Thrive
Everything you need to ditch the hustle, escape the feast-famine cycle of freelance writing and start landing high-paying corporate clients.
Because that's the real secret. If you land great corporate clients, you'll be on your way to 6-figures in no time.
Write Earn Thrive is an online course that shows you where and how to find corporate clients that value what you do and pay you well, how to confidently raise your rates and how to earn an income that has other freelance writers asking, "What's your secret?"
By the end of the program, you’ll be able to...

Ask for what you want and what your work is worth - and have clients jump at the chance to work with you. Set those income targets each month and smash them!
-
Create content proposals that get a big YES
Do away with guessing what to include in a content proposal. Instead, ditch your clumsy content proposals for beautiful proposals that raise the bar and your bank balance.

I hit my financial goals within 2 months of enrolling in Write Earn Thrive. Now I've hit them 6 months running!
Before Write Earn Thrive, I'd been freelancing for a decade but never felt secure in my calendar or income. I'd been second-guessing and over-thinking the business aspects of my work. I was exhausted trying to "remake the wheel" in my focus and approach to landing new clients. I now feel liberated from many of those hang-ups. I have the practical resources — the templates, the spreadsheets, and concise, clear LOIS and bios — that make connecting with potential clients much faster. And I'm more confident in putting myself up for work time and time again.
In my second month of practising Lindy's process, I hit my financial goals — and I've hit them six months running! I only take work that meets my physical ability and financial targets. And I feel respected by the clients I work with. That’s a huge relief, and incredibly empowering.
The best money I've spent on my writing career, by far.
To those umming and ahhing about whether to do Write Earn Thrive or not - if you want to advance your writing business and career, make the investment - 110%. Lindy's easy-to-follow course is not only a goldmine of practical info, but her advice in the private community is invaluable. I have purchased many courses in the past, but this one has been, by far, the best money I have spent on my writing career. Lindy's insights have helped me achieve great success with my work, and most importantly, my confidence.
Does this sound familiar?
You're a freelance writer.
You've sold articles to magazines or newspapers and you've written for some corporate clients.
But you don't have any regular gigs.
You've had some success, but you're sick and tired of constantly hustling and pitching for work.
You start each month from $0.
You know other freelance writers who have landed high-paying corporate clients.
But you don't know where to find great clients like that.
A client or editor asks you for your rate and you freeze.
You're not sure what to charge or what you're 'worth'.
You love writing but you lack confidence and knowledge to find the right outlets and clients.
You're wondering if you can really make it as a freelance writer.
I hear you.
Imagine being able to ...
Make good money from your writing, without money being the only thing that motivates you.
Write articles that have meaning and impact.
Know how and where to find high-paying clients.
Create content proposals that result in an emphatic YES.
Pursue your passion for journalism and content marketing.
Have regular incoming flowing in.
Be proud of your career that gives you energy and doesn't sap it.
Have a thriving freelance writing business that gives you longevity, a great income, freedom and flexibility.
A pot of gold: I landed regular, high-paying work within weeks of enrolling!
Before I joined Write Earn Thrive, I really felt in the dark about how other freelancers were navigating the world of corporate work. How were they doing it, and doing it so well? Now, I feel like I've stumbled upon a pot of freelancing gold thanks to Lindy's indispensable advice that works. The biggest win I’ve had since joining Write Earn Thrive is landing regular, high-paying work through a copywriting agency. This happened within the very early weeks of starting the course.
It's totally possible.
It won't come as a surprise to you that freelance writing can be a competitive space.
Magazines are getting axed, newspapers are operating on skeletal staff, $1/word assignments are getting rarer and rarer, and high-paying corporate clients can seem like endangered animals - elusive and rare.
No matter how many awards you have won, how many hours you work or how many pitches you send out, one of the keys to succeeding as a freelance writer is this:
You must know where and how to find high-paying work, rather than relying on word of mouth, job boards or endless pitches. Or else the hustle will never end.
If you feel like you've been doing all the right things, but still haven't made the income you want to or found those great clients you know are out there, it's time to do something about it.
Having a couple of high-paying corporate clients can revolutionise your business.
Suddenly you're hitting $10K+/months.
I know because in my first 11 months of being a full-time freelance writer, I earned over $100K.
And even when I went part-time as a freelance writer, I still earnt 6-figures.
How?
I had a simple system and strategy to find, engage and maintain high-paying corporate clients.
Finding high-paying corporate clients doesn't mean you're writing soul-sapping content for heartless multinationals.
You can still write cool stories for cool publications, it's just that those publications will be owned by brands, universities, non-profits and corporate organisations.
And these corporate clients are always looking for writers, but they can't find them.
Let me show you how to introduce yourself.
It's about finding what you love to write, what you're good at writing and offering that in an irresistible way to clients.
So many freelance writers go back to office jobs, in-house positions or just give up because they don't have a plan or guidance. They don't know what to do.
Yet.
From landing new high-paying clients ...
To smashing your income target ...
It's time to earn great money from freelance writing and finally get the freedom and lifestyle you deserve

I've tripled my annual writing income and last month earned over $13K from new clients!
Write Earn Thrive gave me the confidence to approach bigger organisations, ask for higher rates, and be open about my achievements and feel really proud of my work. I feel unstoppable and I really have to credit a huge portion of that to Lindy.
Thanks to Write Earn Thrive, I went from charging 4c/word to at least 40c/word USD when taking on new clients. As a freelancer who’s just starting out, knowing what to charge can be one of the hardest challenges, so having Lindy's guidance has been a huge help.
Last month I earned over $13K from clients I met on LinkedIn using the methods in Write Earn Thrive. I feel unstoppable!

Enrolment is currently closed — but you can still join the waitlist!
The course materials are so valuable and they really work. I'm about to hit my financial goals!
I gained a connection to the world of freelancing, so I would tell potential students that it's not just a course, it's a community. That's the thing that gets you through the rough moments when your confidence dips. And the course materials are so valuable and they really work. Lindy is particularly generous with her time and will happily answer your questions. Not just with 'try this module', but with considered, unique answers.
I feel closer than ever to being in charge of my own financial future. Seeing what you can achieve if you do the work is really encouraging. I’m about to hit my financial goals!
This is a process that WORKS.
Lindy is extremely generous in sharing how she built her success by pitching, reaching out to prospective clients and being diligent with follow-up.
The private community was really supportive and encouraging in having us take action by crafting our offers and sending out LOIs.
I loved how the LinkedIn outreach strategy is broken down and I still regularly refer to the email scripts and content proposal template.
IT WORKS!

Despite 20 years of experience, I had lost my mojo, and I couldn’t seem to figure out how to rebuild my failing freelance writing career.

Best of all, I’m doing this with a community of writers willing to share insights, concrete suggestions, and plenty of support—all because of Write, Earn, Thrive.

What's the time commitment with Write Earn Thrive?
How long does it take to complete the course?
The honest answer is, it depends on you and your current situation.

Others might take a few extra months to work through the program.
There really is no right or wrong amount of time to do this course.
The best time frame is the one that suits you and your current situation.
But I do recommend that to get the most out of the course set aside at least a couple of hours each week to go through the program, complete the worksheets and carry out the activities.
"I'm sending higher-charging proposals and having them accepted more often"
Write Earn Thrive has really changed things for me. I now have a clear strategy to achieve my goals. I start my days with fewer feelings of overwhelm. I’m sending more realistic and higher-charging proposals and having them accepted more often. I’m using social media sparingly, but more effectively to nurture relationships with prospects that actually have budget to hire me and I have better systems to measure my progress."

I rarely ever bid or search for work anymore. Mind - blown!
I've had my work published in my dream publications, I've worked with numerous brands that I know and love in my real life, and I have slowly finally started to only work with ethical-only brands. In the six or so short months since implementing the strategies taught in Write Earn Thrive, I rarely ever bid or search for work anymore. Mind-blown!
As someone who has Googled 'how to be a freelance writer' for so many years, I often pinch myself when I remember that I did it. I truly believe Lindy’s no-frills, no-crap approach and community support was a big part of that. And I made $80K in my first year while working part-time. Stoked!
Frequently asked questions
When does the Write Earn Thrive course start and finish?
The course begins and ends whenever you want it to.
You can begin working through it whenever you want.
How long do I have access to the course materials for?
Access to the course and online community is for 12 months.
Why 12 months access?
Some online courses have traditionally been lifetime access but course creators have found that people enrol thinking they have years to go through the material and guess what?
They never complete the course and therefore never get results.
I really want writers to be able to have these skills and knowledge and to get results quickly.
Twelve months is more than enough time for you to work through the course materials and see visible results.
Are there any prerequisites?
This course is aimed at writers who have had some success in having their work (whether corporate or for magazines, newspapers or online) published.
If you're a complete beginner, this course is probably not for you. But get in touch with me as I'm looking at developing a course for beginners in early 2021.
Do you cover how to actually do content writing?
Content writing really is no different from the skills you need to write features, so the course doesn't cover the technical aspects of writing.
But it does take you through how to work out the areas you want to write in, how to articulate your offer and how to find clients in the industry (or industries) you've selected.
I think content writing requires an understanding of keywords? Do you cover that?
My experience has been that if content needs to have key words and be SEO optimised then the clients tend to let you know what words or phrases they want included. Or if they don't, this is something you can add on to a content proposal if you're confident.
I know 'content writing' it sounds like it's a totally different type of writing, but think of it like a feature article, it's just that your writing is for an organisation, business, university or non-profit rather than a publication.
You're charging in Australian dollars, how much is that in my currency?
I've put the approximate price in USD in brackets, but it's always good to look at xe.com first to work out the exchange rate. Do note though that the rate shown is usually a little off simply because it depends on your bank's conversion rate and if they charge a currency conversion fee.
If you're keen to know the exact rate, contact the bank associated with your card to find out the current conversion rate.
If I pay for the course with my credit card, is there a cost for the conversion?
When you go to pay and fill in all your details, the conversion will happen once you've paid. It'll be the exchange rate of your banking institution.
I always look at xe.com first to work out the exchange rate, but that's always a little off simply because it depends on your bank's conversion rate and if they charge a currency conversion fee.
If you're keen to know the exact rate, contact the bank associated with your card to find out the current conversion rate.
What is your refund policy?
If you’ve worked through some of the course and haven’t gained any value from it (or just don’t think the course is for you), I’ll happily refund your payment minus a $50 admin fee.
Refunds must be requested within 7 days of the course starting.
No refunds are provided after the first 7 days, and I do not provide pro-rata refunds for cancelled accounts. After the initial refund period expires, I will continue to process any remaining payments (if you have selected a payment plan option).
Are there any other material or equipment costs besides the enrolment cost of the course?
No. Everything you need is provided, but if you don't already have a folder organised to track and follow up with potential clients, you may like to create one on your laptop or desktop.
Do I get support, community, or direct access to you?
I'm regularly available in our private community (you'll get the details once you enrol) to answer and help with any challenges you're facing.
Do your techniques work globally and not just in Australia?
All the information and strategies I go through can be used throughout the world. These strategies are based on techniques that I've used but also that my coaching students have used and they've been based in countries such as the USA, Canada, UK, Spain, France and the Philippines.
Your online community is on Facebook. What if I'm not on (or don't want to be on) Facebook?
At the moment the private Write.Earn.Thrive. community is hosted on Facebook. If you are not an active member on Facebook, you can still enrol in the course, but you just won't have access to the online community component.
Freelance writers have never been in more demand
Companies, organisations, universities, non-profits and small business all know the value of great content.
But they need writers.
That's where you come in.
There has never been a better time to learn how to find high-paying clients.
This is your opportunity to create the life you want.
Hi, I'm Lindy ...
Being a writer was always "just a dream".
I worked as a social worker for 10 years before I followed my passion and started writing features for magazines and newspapers.
Suddenly I was writing the stories I had always dreamed of writing and had the freedom and flexibility to work where and when I wanted.
And in my first 11 months of being a full time freelance writer I earned over $100K.
This is the course I wish I had when I was starting out.
I believe that every freelance writer can have the income and freedom they desire as long as they have the right guidance and support.
