What others are saying about the 'Professional Freelance Journalism' Course is much more important than anything we could say ourselves. Here are some more comments from students. These comments, and many more, are proudly on our files.

"I have sold my first article. This was the one on fossicking in old gold mining areas. If you had told me three months ago I could get paid for writing about what I do for fun I would have laughed. This Course is teaching me more than I thought possible. Thank you."

"My article submission to 'On The Road Magazine' has been accepted. There is no way I could have accomplished this without your Course and the enormous help of my tutor. This early success has given me enormous confidence and my goal is to sell one article a week. As you know I live in a most remote area. I thought this might work against me but I now believe it's actually an advantage. There are just as many story opportunities 'off the beaten track' as there in the cities but fewer people to write them."

"As a teacher and tutor myself, I have nothing but praise about how this Course is presented. I have rarely seen a training program with such a practical approach. There is huge latitude given to students to write on any subject they wish yet the Course remains tightly structured with clearly-defined outcomes. It's early days yet, but this Course contains more than you can possibly imagine and makes success in freelance journalism possible for almost anyone with the urge to write."

“The 'Professional Freelance Journalism' Course changed my life forever. At the time I was a 44-year-old restauranteur and hating it. I did the Course (before it went on-line) little knowing that it would take me on arguably one of the most exciting and rewarding freelance journalism careers on the planet. Since then I have had more than 1500 articles and 13 books published and constantly make money from freelance contributions to all forms of the media all around the world via the internet. I am also a major contributor to the world’s largest internet true crime site. Check me out on Google as 'Paul B Kidd'. I can say unashamedly that I owe my wealth, happiness and lifestyle directly to two things; this Course and the will to succeed.”

“When I commenced the 'Professional Freelance Journalism' Course, I had no inkling of the impact it would have. My initial expectations did not envisage a whole new career opening up. I am now confident enough to mean it when I introduce myself as a 'freelance journalist'. And I can back up that confidence knowing that I have 13 commissioned articles, just six months after my first Tutorial arrived. The tutorial notes warned me to be prepared for the excitement of my first commission. However I was not prepared for the elation and pride I felt with seeing my first published article in a national travel magazine. Sales of the magazine surely increased as every family member and friend purchased the magazine just to see this one article! I cannot recommend the Course highly enough to anybody with an interest in producing articles for publication. It has delivered exactly what was guaranteed.”

“One of the best aspects of the Course is having the freedom to pursue your interests as a career path. I have had paid published articles in a British e-zine and educational brochures and am currently working with up and coming music artists all over the world. Currently I am working on projects that range from band reviews to biographies for websites and magazines. I have met many wonderful people and discovered music artists that otherwise I would never had the opportunity to. I have also had the great pleasure and satisfaction of seeing not only my words, but also my name, in print. This is something every passionate writer and journalist should experience for themselves. I do not hesitate to recommend the 'Professional Freelance Journalism' Course. What I have learnt has given me a 'toolbox' for success in the world of freelance journalism.”

“I’m about to leave on a trip to Pakistan to write a report on the Pakistan-built Land Rover Defender for the 'Land Rover Enthusiast' Magazine. It never occurred to me that one news item could generate a dozen different follow-on articles. I had no idea how to convince a busy editor to look at my story ideas and want to publish them. If anyone is thinking about doing a journalism course I would strongly recommend they do this one.”

"After nearly 20 years in sales and marketing I thought I knew how to write material people would be interested in reading. I was absolutely floored and I must admit a little embarrassed when I discovered how many things I had been doing wrong for so many years. This Course provides the secrets of professional writing. I have now sold stories to three business magazines and been well paid each time. I'm now going to use the secrets this Course offers to build a name and profit for myself as a marketing writer."

Darren Hayes
Freelance journalist specializing in self-help business and marketing

"Amazing news! The article I wrote (as a result of the assignment in the first tutorial I received) has been accepted for publication. What an incredible buzz - to come up with my own story idea, write it and sell it to a magazine. I can't wait now to see my article in print. I think this Course might have literally changed my life."

“I am paid to talk to and write about some of the most famous people and horses in the horse industry. I now have a large list of published work from equine magazines and equipped with this I am constantly being given work by editors, simply by explaining my specialty and showing them samples. I am finding it easier and easier to obtain work. I am finding that the more articles I have published, the easier it is to obtain the next project. I’ve written for American, British and Australian medias, both magazines and on-line. My first pay check is on its way. I was not really sure where I wanted to go career-wise. After reading through the prospectus my mind was made up and I knew I’d found something exciting. I cannot emphasize how this Course has changed the direction of my life. It has turned me from an amateur with an interest in writing and researching to a professionally-trained freelance journalist with the confidence and skills to tackle any assignment on offer. It doesn’t get much better than this, being paid to learn and write about what you love and to speak to the 'best of the best'. You will meet numerous interesting people and learn fascinating facts. This Course is one of the greatest things I have ever done and I am sure you will agree.”

“My home is a farm in Texas but it seems the world is my market place when writing about hunting, conservation and the environment. I have already sold three articles overseas and have been commissioned to write another two. And the story ideas keep coming. One of the best parts is that I can continue to sell my same stories in other parts of the world. This Course shows you it’s as easy to sell to magazines anywhere as it is to your local editor. The Course shows you how to handle any assignment. But my advice is to stay with the 'genre' for which you have a passion and sell to every publication that specializes in this area. It doesn’t matter how obscure your topic there are magazines everywhere in the world interested in your subject matter.”
