And mostly, to honor that voice that says you can have so much more.
We get it.
Because we’ve been there. Frustrated. Overwhelmed. Tired of digging through all the noise online trying to find something real.
Everyone on Team #FBVA has been right where you are…
Like Gina, the original creator of 30 Days or Less to Freelance Writing Success.
Spoiler alert – after starting her freelance writing business in 2014 she now runs a six-figure business and a team of her own!
But it wasn’t always that way…
Back in 2014, she was miserable.
But you’d never know it.
After all, she had two beautiful babies (now three!), a wonderful husband who took care of them at home and a secure job in personal finance.
For the right person, this would be a dream come true.
But deep down, she knew it wasn’t the life she wanted.
It was unfulfilling. Unstimulating. And, let’s face it, completely soul-draining.
Telling her there had to be more…
More than showing up to build someone else’s dream every day.
More than saying goodbye to her kids every morning and seeing them for 30 minutes before bedtime.
More than dragging herself through the same day, day in, and day out.
She even tried to talk herself into making it all work…
But even after all these mental gymnastics to try and “trick” herself into loving her career, she just couldn’t lie to herself any longer.
She finally accepted that she needed to do something else with her life – something she actually wanted to do.
And so after a little (a lot of) “Google-Fu,” hoping to find the solution to her dilemma…
And after many nights of searching, she found it – freelance writing.
It hit ALL the right spots:
Work from home? Check.
Make solid money? Check.
Use a skill she already had? Check.
But could she actually make it work?
After all, she didn’t have any formal writing training or paid experience.
She was worried.
But even with those voices of fear and self doubt looming in the back of her brain, the cost of not finding out was even higher…
A life spent wondering ‘what if’ and living a far less-than-satisfying life.
- She started a freelance writing side hustle on top of her full-time job and momming responsibilities
- Within her first month of writing she made $800 - and it just went up from there
- Within six months Gina was earning $4,000 per month from writing on top of her full-time career (with a baby and toddler in tow)
- She set the goal of leaving her 9-5 job behind within 12 months… and did it in eight.
And these days?
Gina never returned to the 9-5 world…
She’s gone on to build a high six-figure business with a kickass team…
She works when she wants, how she wants and with who she wants…
She spends her time exactly how she likes, including being with her new addition to the family every adorable step of the way…
And has saved thousands of students a ton of time and a huge learning curve teaching a legitimate business model to create a successful, sustainable, scalable freelance writing business.
There has never been a better a better time to get into freelancing.
It was already on the rise, but the last couple of years have only sealed the deal that there is a better way to work.
And that doesn’t mean punching a clock and taking up desk/ counter/ wherever you do your thing space every day.
- Freelancers make up one third of the American workforce— contributing $1.2 trillion to the economy!
- People from every generation are turning to freelancing for the increased freedom and flexibility – and in uncertain times – for financial stability too.
- 48% of freelancers are caregivers... and 76% say it gives them more flexibility to be available for their loved ones.
And…
- Of those who quit their full time job in order to freelance, 75% say they earn the same or MORE pay than when they had a traditional employer. (Heck yeah!)
And according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics the average income for writers in 2021 was $69,510 per year.
- Show up and do work every day (or whenever you decided to work) that you chose, actually enjoyed and could get excited about?
- Craft your work around your life - and not the other way around?
- Feel proud to call yourself a writer?

Yes! There are tons of students living outside the U.S. who have built successful careers after taking 30 Days or Less to Freelance Writing Success. That’s the beauty of virtual work!
One thing to keep in mind though, is that if you want to work with English-speaking clients, you should have a sufficient handle on writing, reading and speaking English too.
It really depends on you, your schedule and your work ethic.
Some students have made their way through the course in a weekend, while for others it takes a few months. The course is self-paced, with all of the material being available to you immediately upon enrollment, so it’s really up to you!
You sure can!
We get emails each week from new students sharing their success and how they just landed their first paying gig. And, we keep tabs on our alumni and many of them are killing it, including leaving the 9-5 world behind for good and earning six figures with freelance writing.
But success doesn’t come without effort…
In addition to reading the material, you’ll need to complete the Action Plans.
And while it may seem scary at first, putting yourself out there and asking to be hired via pitching (the freelance writing term for prospecting) is what’s going to get you there! You got this!
No – we don’t offer refunds as we’re firm believers that you “get out as much (or more!) as you put in.” Investing in yourself is an important decision – if you’re ready to make a commitment to yourself, change your current circumstances and put in the work, you’ll get results!
