Who Is It For?
If you’re interested in freelance writing, then I believe this product could be a help to you. Though the information you’re learning could be found elsewhere online, for free, Laura puts it all together in a logical format to make it easier for you. She will show you how to start your career as a writer for other people.
She herself, a highly educated person in political science, economics and public administration, writes for law firms and the medical industry. She has created several websites showcasing her own courses on freelance writing.
Laura is teaching from experience and can offer great advice. So if you’ve always enjoyed writing as a hobby, then this product is for you. I’m not saying you’ll be making the kind of money she’s talking about, but the potential is there.
The ebook is well written giving solid information. But of course, why wouldn’t it be? She is a professional writer, lol.
How Does It Work?
Chances are, you’ve seen an email that looks like this:
This is what’s called email marketing, and brings you to a landing page when you click on the link. It can be one of several styles, from a video to a long, sales page, persuading you to buy her product.
The nice thing about My Freelance Paycheck is a combination of ebook, audio and video. This can be especially helpful depending on your learning needs.
If you click on the picture below, you can hear the video that I was initially brought to…
Personally, I was disappointed in her sales pitch of this product. She tells you about hating her past job as a teacher. I know it’s just a marketing gimmick, that works, but unnecessary here. It’s a way to connect with your reader, to gain sympathy. Did it work on you?
When I did my research on her, she’s an accomplished businesswoman with several degrees, a master’s degree, and a Ph.D. I really don’t believe she was working a 16-hour day teaching in an inner-city school, not making ends meet. LOL
This is how these sales funnels work, they draw you in, believing you’re going to learn secrets about making money online. I truly believe this product would sell without all the gimmicks, but that’s just me… There are no secrets to making money with freelance writing. It just takes work.
My big concern is her sales page states that anyone can do this. Granted you don’t need an English degree, but if you’re not a writer in some sense of the word, you will struggle to find clients who are willing to hire you. She talks about this in the following video…
This can be overcome with practice and patience, but don’t expect to make $500 per week any time soon. Like anything, it takes time, and you need to gain experience and develop your portfolio. Clients are often looking for experienced writers. You can get there, just not overnight!
I do want to caution you about the upsell, though. Take a look at my order page below.
She makes no mention of this upsell on her sales page but is automatically included on the order page. If you don’t notice and un-check the box beside the “Passive Profits Mastery” free trial, you will be charged $37/month starting your second month.
I didn’t purchase the upsell, so I don’t have any information on that for you. I tried to research it and came up with several products, books, or courses. Nothing seemed to have “editions” like what is described on the sales page. I’m assuming it’s a monthly publication of tips and tricks in the freelance world of writing.
And I wouldn’t worry about her claiming she can’t keep the price low for much longer, haha. This website was created on Feb. 9, 2017. I think it’s safe to say the price has stayed the same for quite some time!
Pros
- Solid Information regarding the freelance writing industry
- Shows you how to find clients and build relationships
- Shows you how to market yourself
- Reasonable price
- 60-day money-back guarantee
Cons
- The sales page is misleading (will take time to earn that kind of money)
- No mention of the upsell
- The refund policy is from Clickbank, and may not provide a total refund.
Final Thoughts And Recommendations
I found Laura Pennington to be authentic and pleasant. I believe her product can help you if you desire to be a freelance writer. She is offering her years of experience in a simple, step by step product. This information will save you time and energy trying to figure out how to start on your own.
Is this product legitimate? Yes
Would I recommend it? Yes
Please note that this is not a comprehensive training course in freelance writing. But it certainly offers you a great start if you haven’t had any experience yet. The amount of money you could make depends on how hard you work at it.
And despite hearing her say she has secrets to share with you, there’s no substitute for persistence and hard work. Those are the secrets!
In fact, someday I could possibly hire you, haha. As an online marketer, our businesses require continual fresh content to be added to our websites.
And as we scale our businesses larger and larger, there becomes a need to outsource our article writing. This is where freelance writers come in.
Saying that I would like to talk to you about another opportunity. If you enjoy writing and would like to earn an income online, why not write for yourself?
I’m talking about building your own business online and earning income through affiliate marketing, or other ways to earn income with your very own website.
Your earning potential with your own online business can be massive.
Much more so than with freelance writing. And you can earn a passive income. That’s a big advantage of online marketing that freelance writing doesn’t offer.
Your own business can earn a recurring income whereas as a freelancer, you must work for each dollar.
Take a look at my website, Legitimate Affiliate Training.com. My desire is to help people start their own business, online. I offer content to answer people’s questions regarding this industry.
With the proper use of keywords for my SEO strategy, people can find my articles when they are searching for answers on Google.
Even with freelance writing, you will need to learn how to use keywords for SEO. These are strategies your clients will also need to be successful. So why not make yourself successful and learn how to earn even more income.
Just like freelance writing, proper training and tools are needed for online marketing. And I know the perfect place for you. It’s where I learned everything about this industry.
They provided step by step training, the website and hosting services, keyword tools, and the only “live” chat support platform available anywhere online.
The best part is you can start for free, no credit card needed.
And I’ll meet you inside. I’ll be available to you for any guidance you need. In fact, all the members are very helpful. Both new and with years of experience, including the founders Kyle and Carson themselves.

So, incredibly legit.
I bet it offers loads of awesome stuff in regards to writing in general, not just freelancing.
And this is something I believe anyone can benefit from, who tries to make it online. Cause we all write. We all need to develop those writing skills.
This is also the biggest reason, why I’m going to pick it up.
Cheers, I truly appreciate the article and your time making it happen!
Have a Great One.

Hi Matiss, I’m glad I could help!
Isn’t it great finding legitimate offers online. Unfortunately I come across too many scams. It’s very disheartening.
If you need any more help, let me know.

Hi Suzanne, thanks for sharing your review of My Freelance Paycheck.
I’ve seen so many “scam” sites lately, so it’s so good to finally find a site where the owner is real and is actually doing the things she is teaching.
I’ve been interested in freelancing for the last few weeks, and have been looking for a good course to get me started.
This ebook looks like a promising start, so I might consider getting it.
Thanks again!
Hey Stephanie and thanks for commenting.
I’m glad I could be of help to you. I’m hoping you’ll enjoy freelance writing, and if you need any SEO help, let me know ok?
Cheers,
Suzanne
Excellent. This was a great review .
You covered all the angles, and, I believe a very honest opinion.
Freelancing has been around for donkey’s years in one form or another. Back in 1950 all the newspaper’s hired freelancer’s.
With today’s technology and the web, the world’s your oyster.
Thanks Suzanne.
Thanks Stephen, for your comment.
Yes, freelancers have been around as long as the written word, lol.
This is a great avenue for writers who just want to write for a living. Though I still believe they could make more working for themselves, ?
Cheers,
Suzanne
