This must-have course has been battle-tested by hundreds of writers who are now making good money from their skill set rather than relying on poorly paid work:


Truly an awesome course, Arfa. I came in with high expectations and left feeling completely satisfied. This is somewhat of a surprise, since it’s usually the opposite; I enrol on a course or something similar, brimming with excitement and halfway through I lose all enthusiasm for it, since it usually fizzles out and becomes intensely boring.

Your course was exciting and engaging throughout, and I’ll recommend anyone to go on it. In fact, get them to contact me if they want reassuring or convincing, because this course is pure gold, and no one should be missing out on the pure pearls of wisdom Arfa has to give them.’

Ben Palmer-Wilson, Copywriter


‘There are enough faked testimonials on the internet – this is certainly not one of those. It is very rare when a successful person will share all the information, and goes out of her way in explaining in her professional manner. Everything is laid out, and even those starting out will not fail, as all the technical issues are easily digested. I thoroughly recommend this course without any reservation.’

Mike Dakin, France


‘As an intermediate level writer, I came into the course expecting to pick up a few additional scraps of information but essentially expected little more than refresher of what I already know. What Arfa delivered was a clear and workable blueprint of a writing business that’s geared towards profit and some of the course members picked up clients paying preferential rates by the end of the first week. The course was perfect for newcomers and those already working to an intermediate level’

Paul Miceli, UK


‘Are you a writer? Do you have chops? Need to know how to make money with those chops? Contact Arfa and do it NOW. I’ve been writing for years in everything from copywriting to academia to novels. . . I have never encountered the goldmine of proven advice Arfa gives in her course. If you’re a commercial writer and don’t take advantage of this, have fun watching her students skyrocket to success while you’re still fumbling for cents on the word.’

Eric Nease, Canada


‘I went into the course looking for some guidance, that extra bit of information that would make me confident in moving forward with the growth of my freelance copywriting business. What I actually ended up getting from the course was a complete guide to building a freelance writing business from scratch.'

Jacob Daly, USA


‘I found the course to be extremely beneficial, as Arfa gives an amazing amount of information in a very short space of time. I found this course to be highly practical and hands on, enabling me to implement client attraction strategies pretty much straightaway. This feature alone sets the course apart from others. I thoroughly recommend this course to anyone who wishes to make serious money which does NOT involve writing hundreds of articles at silly rates!’

Asima Iqbal, UK


'If you're a writer, and SERIOUS about turning your talent into serious cash then you need to jump on this offer.

I've worked closely with Arfa for some time, and this girl knows the writing business inside out.

Her knowledge about client acquisition and marketing is second to none, and she'll show you how to earn REAL MONEY from writing, so if you're sick of writing for peanuts you want to take this course.

I'd be happy to recommend this course to anyone, because you're getting an amazing opportunity! I wish I'd had someone like Arfa watching my back when I got started years ago!'

Laurence Henry, Direct Response Internet Marketing Consultant/Copywriter


Freelancing is perfect for stay at home parents, for those seeking a career change, for online writers tired of the low pay and high volume of work and for those who love writing and want to make some real money out of it. 

If you can write well, you can freelance. It’s as simple as that. 

You can easily set your business up from the comfort of your home and work for local businesses in your city where you won’t be up against thousands of other writers. In fact, you will have virtually zero competition!

You can EASILY build a successful business weeks from now, even if you already have a job, and then quit when you’re ready to take the plunge.

Here’s to your writing success,
