If you’ve visited this article looking for the truth about Freelance Home Writers then you’ve come to the right place. The overwhelming views on this particular program are actually negative - try Googling ‘Freelance Home Writers’ on the net and you’ll see what I mean. A lot of people have been unhappy with it and sought refunds.
But is the program actually a scam, or is it just not very good? Where is all the negativity stemming from and does it have a basis? Here’s the truth. It’s not a scam (in the sense that it’s not illegal), but neither do I recommend it. Freelance Home Writers is usually advertised as $2.95 to join (without telling you much more). Sounds good so far, but that $2.95 is only for the first 7 days - a trial period.
What happens after the 7 days is up? Basically if you don’t cancel, your credit card will be billed for $47, and for another $47 every month thereafter. Unfortunately, many people who join don’t realise this (or just forget to cancel in time) resulting in their credit cards being charged.
If you’re aware of the billing process and don’t mind paying then it’s a pretty good way to learn the ropes and find out how to get freelance writing jobs (it doesn’t provide jobs for you). If you’re looking to start a career as a freelance writer then the training is very useful - they teach you how to bid on jobs, negotiate pay and position yourself as an expert in the writing field.
If you don’t want to pay a monthly fee (and let’s face it, $47 per month isn’t exactly cheap these days) there are better writing systems that you can join for just a one time fee.
