A Workshop On Freelance Writing


***UPDATE***
We will have another workshop on June 13. Please stay tuned as we release the official announcement.



WHAT: Freelance Writing Workshop
WHEN: Saturday, May 23, 2015. 12nn - 6pm
WHERE: QC near Welcome Rotonda (details will be given to the attendees) 
PRICE: 1500 per slot. Refer to the poster for group discounts.




Are you stuck in a routine wherein you wake up early to prepare for work, travel more than an hour to your office, spend 9 (or more!) hours doing boring and never-ending work for a boss that you hate, clock out tired and weary without a sense of fulfillment, travel more than an hour again to go home, eat, prepare for bed, cuddle and spend time with your family (if you're not too tired), sleep for less than 8 hours only to wake up early the same morning to repeat this routine?

Then it is time for you to ditch that routine and become a freelance writer. Where work and play is possible.

A workshop like no other

Don't mistake this workshop to be like the ones you have attended so far. What does this workshop have that is different? Unlike, other workshop that offers general insights in being a freelancer, this workshop will guide you through everything step by step. 

In this workshop, you walk in an employee tired of their day job, or an employee looking for extra income, You come out still an employee but with a renewed spirit and a long term freelancing job if you are chosen. If not, you still walk out with a freelancing profile that is ready to send out your first application and accept your new job.

Still curious about what I am talking about? Here are some of the things you will learn.


Career path guidance

Did you know that there are two types of freelancers? This workshop will help you determine which type will suit you, your schedule and your skills better.

Profile creation

There will be an on the spot profile creation. Know how to vamp up your profile to get yourself noticed by your clients.

Niche picking

Learn which niche or "genre' as you call in with music will work best for you and your skills.


Usual rates

Learn about the usual rates for every writing job. Know that bidding too high won't win you the job, bidding too low won't either. Never commit that mistake again after this workshop.


Cover letter creation

When applying for the job. Your cover letter is your weapon, you have to penetrate through the client's shield and make him realize you are the one for the job. Know what and what not to include in your cover letter.


Choosing the job

Learn about the jobs that are fit for you. Differentiate scams from legitimate ones.

Bidding for the job

Learn how to manipulate you bid in order to get the job.

Getting the job

Know what to do when you get the job. From accepting the offers and terms, to actually starting with the job.


All of these will equip you to be more competitive in the freelancing world. These will make sure you can start your career right after you leave the workshop.

Hang on. There's more.

Of course, I won't let you walk away with just that. I also prepared some bonuses that can help you with your freelancing careers.

Are you curious already? Here they are:

Withdrawing your earnings. Not everyone are aware of the policies and processes when it comes to withdrawing their earnings. Know what websites you have to register on and what bank accounts you have to enroll to.

Time management tips. When you have all the time in your hands, how can you budget it to fit your lifestyle? how can you prevent procrastinating when you don't have a boss?

Productivity tips. You know what they all say, work smarter not harder. No matter how hard you work, if you are not organized, you will not be able to finish you job. So I will teach you how to work smarter to finish the job in lesser amount of time and therefore have more time for yourself or your family.

Budgeting your earnings. Of course I won't let you earn extra just to vamp up your lifestyle and spend more. There will also be a brief and helpful talk about how to spend your money wisely.


Ooops, there's still more.

    1. Thank you. :) I was able to attend other seminars and they are mostly generic, so I made sure to provide something more detailed.

  5. I have been thinking of attending a course like this just out of curiosity. Although I am also not so sure what I can learn. Our writing style is like our signature. Does a course like this attempt to change our personal writing styles?

    1. Hello, I agree with you that our writing style is our signature. But this workshop focuses on writing online for Elance and Upwork po. It does not change your personal writing style for your blog, although there are times that you have to change it for some client if they specifically ask for a certain style. I offer free passes for bloggers po, you might be interested? I promise not to change your writing style. ;p

  7. I would love to attend this because I'm looking for an extra job during the day or night. I have actually registered to different freelance websites but I don't really know how to start. This would be helpful for me though I'm afraid, the location is too far :(

  9. Awesome! There are plenty of freelancing ventures out there. When I began, I could not believe myself. I think it's one of the best ways to increase income

  10. This is perfect for those people who would want to write for a living! But sadly I am not one of those people... but I would like to learn about "niche picking" because my blog is currently a mess and I don't really know how to classify it. Hahaha!
