A deep dive into everything I’ve learned about freelancing over the last six years. Find out how I went from cold emailing pitches for unpaid writing jobs to bringing in work entirely based on referrals, and getting paid $$$ to do it. My personal experience is as a freelance copywriter, but the session is suitable for anyone looking to get paid for their services as a freelancer, not just copywriters!

I thoroughly enjoyed Emma’s workshop. She went through all of the necessary steps to consider, used real world examples, and was very transparent about her journey, pricing, and getting clients (which I really appreciate). The workshop is super affordable and resources were provided after the class to help attendees on their freelance journey. This is the type of workshop I have been searching for!

Emma provided such a great workshop to help people start their freelance journeys! She was so open about the different processes and very knowledgeable on all of the topics included from what to put on your website, to registering for a business name, to networking. It was really great quality and good value for money, especially with the resources provided after the class. Also got to see hints of Paddington which was a plus! Thanks again Emma, you’ve given me some more confidence and knowledge to take the plunge into freelancing!

The extra resources she has provided are also fantastic, a great added bonus.

I got so much out of Emma’s workshop last night! Her presentation was so insightful and I walked away with some great tips on getting started that I would never have thought of. For the price and all the extras like the LinkedIn group and resources its an absolute bargain.
Thanks again Emma!

I got so much value out of Emma’s Freelancing 101 webinar! So much practical information that really is applicable to any freelancing work or side hustle that you could think of. Emma is an animated, informed, and super entertaining presenter and she makes the information feel so simple and easy to follow. Thanks for creating such a great launching pad for what can be a pretty daunting task!

Emma is funny, relatable and so informative. She provided such a fresh insight into the world of freelancing and even though I’ve been freelancing awhile, I was still able to take away so much from the talk. Highly recommend this webinar to anyone wanting to dip their toes into the world of freelancing!

100% would recommend signing up to Emma’s Freelancing 101 workshop. It’s a great investment for anyone wanting or needing to learn the basics plus the resources Emma sends post workshop are so useful. I much prefer hearing tips and knowledge first hand from someone who’s successfully navigated the freelancing world so thank you so much Emma! You made it really engaging and interesting.

This workshop gives you all the tools and affirmations on how to make concrete steps towards your goals of cementing your moonlighting-side-thing into a fulltime-dream-thing. Emma’s presentation is informative, relateable and engaging, plus a special guest appearance of Paddington is almost guaranteed. This course answered questions my 3 year bachelor degree didn’t, and provided resources and tips that most practitioners don’t want to share, even in mentoring and internships. I can’t sing Emma praises enough. I’m ready to donate to a patreon or only fans for more exclusive content, just say the word and I’ll be there! Why are you still reading this review? Add to cart!
Emma Edwards –
only fans I’m screaming hahahahahahahah. Best review of all time thank you my lovely xx

Based in the US – SoCal specifically. I’ve been tentatively wanting to get into freelancing but have been so SCARED and CONFUSED! Truly after doing this workshop I feel like I have a much better understanding of how to break into it ( including how humble the beginning is and to embrace that ! ) I’ve been submitting pitches on freelancer and heard nothing back but Emma has made me realize that there were more simple avenues I hadn’t even considered?? Also.. loved to hear Emma’s an introvert because some of her tips I was like idkkkk I’m an introvert, and knowing she could do it really helped me!!!! This workshop is awesome in sooo many ways !!!! Don’t hesitate! Sorry if what ive said makes no sense haha it’s 1 am where I am. Seriously thanks Emma!

Emma was fabulous, she provided plenty of examples for ways in which to approach various scenarios, in particular contacting potential clients and getting your first few jobs/ projects. I could not recommend this workshop highly enough enough!

I absolutely loved this workshop!! Emma was so engaging, insightful and down to earth, drawing from her own experiences and providing practical, real-world examples of what it’s like as a freelancer. The structure of the workshop is super easy to follow and covers all the basics you need to get started! As someone who is just starting their journey as a freelancer, Emma made me feel so inspired and like it was actually possible. I could not recommend this workshop highly enough!!

I highly recommend this workshop to anyone who is considering freelancing. It’s super comprehensive and covers all the (perhaps not so fun but) important aspects of freelancing, like getting set up and how tax works as a sole trader. I especially appreciated Emma’s specific recommendations on tools and strategies to help you on your way. Emma is very engaging and an excellent presenter – I felt like I was watching an extended version of her stories on TBG’s Instagram page! But seriously… sign up!
