Instructor Details

Kirsty Stuart

In the summer of 2012 I quit my ordinary day job in central London and set about carving out a career as a freelance writer online.
Since then, I've travelled all over the world with my laptop, writing for international travel giants such as Flight Centre, Viator, and Tripadvisor. I quickly learned how to pitch to clients, market my freelance business, and earn a full-time living from writing online.
I also started my own blog charting my success in the industry, teaching other potential writers how to join the realms of the highest earning freelance writers in the world of online content.
Now I run my website, teach on Udemy, while still doing what I love best writing.
If I can do it, so can you. My Udemy courses will teach you exactly how, step-by-step and with continuous support all the way.

I'm grateful for Kirsty and this course. She gave a clear and concise rundown of what profitable freelance writing is all about. No fluff was necessary to get this point across and I feel that she nailed it.
Meanwhile, the downloadable resources are helpful and the accompanying action steps provide practicality. If you're taking action as you progress through the course, you can potentially earn while you learn.
I'm very much looking forward to getting my feet wet with freelance writing.

By Shawn Strauss on 7/20/2020

I wanted more writing guidance, not so much setting up my own website.

By Suzanne Burns on 7/5/2020

The reason I'm not already writing for online publication is that I had no idea how to go about actually getting work. This course solved that problem right at the very beginning!
