Content mills. SEO articles. Bidding sites. Lowball job ads that ask for “free samples.”

Do you think it’s the worst time to be a freelance writer?

Sean Platt doesn’t. I recently had the Ghostwriter Dad blogger on as a guest on one of the Den Meetings I hold for Freelance Writers Den members each week, and he shared his philosophy — that now is the best time ever to be a freelance writer.

Sean discusses how he went from foreclosure, financial stress, and writing the cheap key-word articles to being a six-figure copywriter — and how you can, too.
