Sarah Turner pushes her copywriting course harder than a street corner mixtape.
It’s called Write Your Way To Freedom.
She tears your ass off and turns your butthole inside out with what she charges for it.
Cost is apparently $5,800!
With 6,039 students enrolled, that means Sarah’s made over $35 million peddling this thing.
No way she still practices what she preaches.
And I guess that’s okay, as long as WYWTF members are winning. But are they? Especially as ChatGPT redefines writing?
Glug down a Monster, shove some cotton in your ears, and stand still – I’m about to power slap you with the truth.
You see, Sarah talks a big game.
She claims you can make six figures a year working part time as a freelance writer. No degree or experience needed.
And yet, brands that you love will pay you top dollar for your writing.
Copywriting’s needed across all industries, says Sarah. So whatever it is that you’re passionate about, you can launch a lucrative remote writing career in that space.
Whether it’s:
- Dogs
- Ecom
- Beauty
- Parenting
- Financial services
- Health and wellness
Literally, it could be anything.
Is it just me, or does Sarah seem like the type of mom who delicately trims the crust off PB&Js, yet would totally be down to get wrecked on box wine and edibles once the coast is clear?
Sorry, where was I?
Oh yeah, once you’ve snagged your niche, the best part? Handpicking clients and projects you adore while avoiding those that zap your energy.
Plus, you can write anytime, anywhere – prioritize family, friends, hobbies, and travel.
What will you write? Whatever you want:
- Blogs
- Emails
- Sales pages
- Video scripts
- Product descriptions
As you wish, Trish.
Okay, but what if your pen game’s weaker than a decaf latte?
You’re overthinking it, Sarah says. Copywriting is just getting people to act. Have you ever coaxed a friend to come pick you up over text?
Then congrats, you’re qualified.
Believe it or not, copywriting is supposed to be conversational. You don’t need perfect grammar or spelling.
So, seriously: loosen up, trailblazer, you’re headed for glory, Sarah assures with a wink.
But how’ll you learn the basics of copywriting? Land clients? Set prices? And what about saturation? Artificial intelligence?
Scroll down.
How to learn copywriting quickly?
Go to places like Swiped.co and hand copy those examples, Sarah recommends. You’ll be writing like the legends before grandpa nods off in his recliner.
What to write first?
Blogs, Sarah says. They’re easy pickings, stress-free.
Charge $200 each.
Whip up one a day? Boom, that’s $6k a month.
From there, bump your rates or dive into pricier projects like emails at $500 a shot.
Then bang out an eBook for $5,000 or a white paper for $8,000.
Keep climbing. The summit is sales pages, which could net you anywhere from $10k to $100k+, all based on the ROI they generate for the business owner.
Or maybe you decide emails are your sweet spot, and that’s all you wanna do. Hey, you’re the DJ, babe; we’re just sweaty bodies looking for a beat.
How to get your first client?
Network, cold outreach, the usual.
What about AI? Won’t GPT-4 wolf down your lunch while you quiver in the corner?
That’s a myth, Sarah counters.
ChatGPT isn’t the villain in this narrative; it’s the sidekick we didn’t know we needed.
Leverage it for researching, brainstorming, and editing. It can refine and accelerate your writing process.
By integrating this tool, you’re not just keeping pace, you’re setting the speed.
Write Your Way To Freedom reviews?
Put it this way: the chicks who’ve taken this course act like it’s as desirable as off-menu Starbucks drinks, Chanel bags, and dangerous sex.
Would I buy?
No. I’d get behind the wheel of a white Jeep Wrangler and drive it off a cliff before I’d answer to clients.
Q&A
Q: Do you have Sarah’s contact information?
A: I didn’t, but I do now. Voila:
- Freedom@SarahTurnerAgency.com
- Sarah Turner Agency, LLC
1112 Montana Ave #315
Santa Monica, CA 90403
Q: Wait, does Sarah have a book?
A: She sure does. It’s called Bet on Yourself: Your Testosterone-Free Guide to Being Your Own Boss. It’s all about busting the bropreneur narrative, redefining entrepreneurship, and proving you can crush it without a protein shake or a ‘Rise and Grind’ mug.
Q: Is the Masterclass at BeFreeCopy.co actually free?
A: Yeah, but it’s less masterclass, more Sarah spending 60 minutes taking you from “I can’t write copy” to “Wait, no, I can! And I will! And I did just max out my credit card buying her program!” Then you log in and post-nut clarity kicks in: “Nope, definitely shouldn’t have.” Or maybe you’ll love it and end up her next testimonial – who knows?!
Q: Sarah Turner net worth?
A: Even after taxes, payroll, ad spend, and cost of living, it’s gotta be up there. What do you think? $10 milli? $15? Probably enough to retire and move to Florida among all the crazies and their bath salts.
Q: Write Your Way To Freedom pyramid scheme?
A: Sarah has affiliates promoting her course for a commission, but that’s as common as Doritos and dirt bikes in the South. Unlike a pyramid scheme, affiliates are paid based on their own sales, not for recruiting more affiliates.
Q: Any complaints on Reddit, Trustpilot, or the BBB?
A: On Reddit, yes. The general consensus is that it’s overpriced at best and a scam at worst. However, these opinions are largely from people who haven’t taken the course. Other gripes include Sarah being a mediocre medical copywriter herself, leading some to ask why not learn from someone elite? And many feel the focus on getting blog gigs is super outdated. On the flip side, a few students vouched for the course, saying they were making money thanks to Sarah.
Q: Refund policy?
A: You’ve got 14 days, but it’s action-based. So if you think you can just eat hot dogs and cry for a couple weeks and get your money back, think again. You have to at least make an effort.
Q: Are there any interesting WYWTF success stories?
A: Indeed. On her Sarah Turner Agency YouTube channel, Sarah interviews Georgette Allen. After working for the government for 15 years, Georgette was fried. She Googled “how to make money from writing,” found Sarah’s Masterclass, and signed up. She started cold emailing potential clients in the health niche, landed a few, but soon realized she didn’t enjoy writing about health. She then reached out to some of her old contacts and pivoted to political copywriting. Now, she supports herself working just 25 hours a week, which frees her up to help care for her aging mother.
Q: Write Your Way To Freedom vs Filthy Rich Writer?
A: Filthy Rich Writer, a copywriting course by Nicki Krawczyk, costs a fraction of WYWTF at $697. But Nicki tries to upsell you on other courses, doesn’t offer as much coaching or accountability, and comes across as really fake. I’d choose Sarah over her.
Q: No other alternatives you’d recommend?
A: Not necessarily, but some of these are decent:
- Copy Elite
- RN2Writer
- Writing Revolt
- Start Copywriting
- The Freelance Formula
- Copy Millions Blueprint
- Premium Ghostwriting Academy
Q: Is a copywriting certificate worth it?
A: Investing in learning how to write better copy and close clients? Absolutely worth it. But the cheesy certificate they hand you at the end? No, no one cares. You think the skincare company’s holding off on hiring you because the owner’s sitting there like, “Hang on, I need to see Sarah Turner’s official stamp of approval first”? Bless your heart.
Q: How to become a copywriter without paying for an expensive coaching program?
A: There’s YouTube University, podcasts, and tons of classic copywriting books. From there, just read and write a lot. I know, I know. That advice is about as sexy as a big hairy stepdad just dripping with diabetes, but it’s true.
Q: So I can really be a copywriter with no experience?
A: Duh. No one slides out of the womb clutching a keyboard. Every great copywriter starts in the deep, dark abyss of cluelessness. You have to dive in, embrace the uncertainty, and learn as you go.
Q: Is it hard to get a job as a copywriter?
A: That’s like asking if it’s hard to get tips as a stripper. I mean, if you’re flatter than drywall in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, then yes, it can be tough. But if, even when you’re standing still, that ass shakes like you’re riding a bull in a rodeo? No, it’s easy. In other words, be what clients want and you’ll never go hungry.
Q: For the love of God, don’t tell me Sarah’s now selling a course on how to sell a course?
A: ‘Fraid so. Let’s Build Your Online Business (LBYOB) is her latest offer – a $1,997 course (or 12 monthly payments of $199) teaching you how to “turn your experience, expertise, or passion into life-changing impact” and, obviously, a fuck-ton of money. Right, Sare Bear?
Q: How much more does Sarah need before she invoices me for existing?
A: I know, right? This started off with me really liking Sarah. Now I feel like she’s draining me dry and I’m this close to selling furniture on Facebook Marketplace and throwing hands with bums outside of a Denny’s for gas money.
Q: Screw her! How do I make money without copywriting or selling a course?
A: Rent out small websites to local businesses. Watch this video to see how.
