Every writer knows this pain: You can write… but no one will pay you unless you know exactly how editors and content marketing managers think and what they want.

This course shows you exactly how to go from hopeful side hustle writer or "writing as a hobby" to a paid freelance professional who gets real assignments and repeat clients


This freelance writing online course teaches you:

  • How to write an article pitch
  • How market yourself to clients
  • How to find higher-paying freelance work
  • What to do to get repeat work—so you can earn more in less time.


I’ve managed to earn a high freelance income every year since going full-time freelance in 2013 (averaging $7,000/month to $10,000/month).

In this course, I show you the step-by-step process to follow to earn a living freelance writing.

Find out what you'll learn with this get paid to write freelance writing online course.



I’m Diana Kelly Levey and I’ve been freelancing as a side hustle since 2006, then freelancing full-time since 2013. My clients and work have appeared in Health, Real Simple, MSN, Forbes, Reader’s Digest, Inc., Muscle & FitnessPrevention, ESPN, Men’s HealthEntrepreneurBloomberg Businessweek, Nike, Headspace, Kellogg's, CNN, Neutrogena, WW, The Bump, Beachbody, Brides, amongst many others.

Why create an online course for freelancers?

Because I know what editors ignore… and what makes them say yes to your pitches — even if you’ve never been published before I found myself sharing emails with freelance advice to friends and coworkers, explaining how to get started freelancing, so I decided to publish my knowledge in a comprehensive freelance writing online course, “Get Paid to Write.”

These potential freelancers wanted my know-how because I understood what it’s like to be the freelancer sending pitches (and nervously waiting to hear back!) as well as what it’s like to be the editor at a magazine or website who receives pitches from freelancers and assigns stories.

I wanted to share my know-how in an easy-to-follow format that gives you everything you need to get started writing—and nothing you don't.


In the nearly 20 years I’ve been freelancing, I’ve sent thousands of pitches and introductory emails to potential freelance clients, and I’ve read hundreds of freelance article pitches and freelance emails to know what works, what bombs, and some things that are in a terrible pitch. I created this course to help YOU avoid my mistakes and impress editors with your first email.

Perfect for freelance beginners

“I don’t have a single clip but I’ve always had natural writing talent under my belt. I’ve already invested quite a bit into courses to help me get my freelance career off on the right foot and have pretty much met my budget, but…your experience as an editor I think really sets your freelance writing course apart from the rest (and admittedly is a big draw for me). I feel like there are loads of people out there with courses, but the ones who really have it dialed in are few and far between.”
