Let’s get real for a second. The last couple of years were tough for many freelance writers, even seasoned pros.
Increased competition, AI, political upheaval, economic uncertainty, and budget cuts in certain niches/markets have made it more difficult to connect with value-conscious clients and build a thriving freelance business.
Despite the challenges, some freelance writers are going to win this year. Why not you?
If you’re reading this, chances are, you’re doing a lot of things right:
- You're a highly skilled writer.
- You go above and beyond for your clients.
- You love a good goal and making it happen.
- You never stop learning... and you're on a mission to make 2025 the year you master the business side of things.
You’ve reached a point where you can’t just rely on your own productivity—because you’ve got no more time to spare—and you can’t keep saying yes—because you’re already overcommitted.
Your writing ability, reliability, and work ethic somehow led to being on a hamster wheel.
You might be wondering, “What’s next? Ten or twenty more years of this, assuming AI doesn’t eliminate my job much sooner?”
Here’s the good news...
The problems advanced freelance writers have aren’t unique. They’re solvable.
You can continue to scale without burning out and killing your love of writing in the process.
How would it feel to have a clear roadmap for...
- The direction you want to take your business next
- Offers, prices, and processes that can get you there
- Growth strategies that fit your audience and preferences
Imagine if you knew:
- Which strategies and offers you need to test
- Which systems and processes you need ASAP
- How to get excellent support from VAs / writers
This is exactly what you’ll experience at Growth Without Burnout Summit.

MEET YOUR HOST
%20(1).avif)
Hi, I’m Austin Church!
Hi, I’m Austin L. Church, a freelance writer (16 years and counting!), fCMO, and brand consultant. I founded Freelance Cake in 2019 and have taught 1000s of freelancers how to stack up specific advantages and find their income-lifestyle sweet spot.
I’m absurdly passionate about coaching writers toward their most satisfying year yet, and when I’m not leading my private, paid community for advanced freelancers (Freelance Cake Community), I’m writing books (Free Money, Grabbling), learning from my wise wife, and wrangling our kids.
Following a clear roadmap in my business has enabled me to make multiple six figures consistently while working fewer hours.
I can’t wait to see you at Growth Without Burnout Summit.
What to Expect at Growth Without Burnout Summit
When and Where
Growth Without Burnout Summit will run from Tuesday, May 6 to Friday, May 9, and will have a variety of trainings and sessions to choose from each day. This event is entirely virtual, so you’ll be able to attend from anywhere in the world with internet access.
Expert Sessions
Attend presentations from our lineup of 20+ speakers with talks on lead generation, sales, and systems and processes. Your free ticket includes 48-hour access to each presentation during the week of the summit.
Private Summit Community
Join our private Circle community and connect with advanced freelance writers like you who are committed to proactively building the businesses they really want. This is where you’ll be able to connect with the speakers and other attendees before and during the event.
Chances to Win
Show up and participate in the community for chances to win prizes throughout the summit. Be sure to keep an eye out for your BINGO card and come hang out with us in the Circle community for chances to win things like VIP Passes, one-on-one coaching sessions, and some even bigger giveaways.
We’re dedicated to helping you create a 1-page roadmap to stay focused and hit your financial goals. Because it’s easier to focus when you’re surrounded by like-minded people (kind of like group fitness), you’ll hear us mention the Freelance Cake Community.
On the final day, we’ll select one lucky (and engaged) attendee to win a full scholarship and have instant access to the Freelance Cake Community, which will make implementing their roadmap much easier.
Stay tuned for details and your chance to apply.
Upgrade to a VIP Pass
After registering, you’ll have the chance to upgrade to the VIP Pass, which includes the summit workbook, ongoing access to the presentations after the summit wraps up, premium bonuses from our speakers, access to special live networking and coworking sessions, and more.
You’ll get all the details (and a special offer) after grabbing your free ticket.
Advanced writers have a unique set of challenges.
Instead of covering beginner topics, this summit will address the challenges established writers have:
- Being bored with your business
- Selling more strategy / advisory
- Bringing in VAs and subcontractors
- Improving systems and processes
- Making more money in less time
- Getting more (and better) leads
At Growth Without Burnout Summit, you’ll identify the growth ideas that make the most sense for your specific situation and turn them into a highly strategic, actionable 1-page roadmap.

THE OUTCOME
By the end of this summit, you'll have fresh ideas, inspiration, and clarity. You’ll be connected to smart, freedom-focused peers who understand the ups and downs of solopreneurship.
You’ll know advanced tactics working right now and have the following:
- Your best ideas ranked, based on the advice you got from experts
- 3 well-defined priorities (what you’re going to do and why)
- The next 5 action steps for each of those priorities
- Business development added to your calendar
- 1-page growth roadmap you believe in
Once you start scheduling your growth, you’ll be that much closer to making it harder to fail than to succeed at this.
You’re ready for your Most Satisfying year yet.
It’s time to stop overthinking, second-guessing, and working on too many things at once and instead use a clear roadmap to make progress on your long-term financial and lifestyle goals.

HAVE QUESTIONS? WE’VE GOT ANSWERS
If you're ready to create and follow a solid business roadmap and finish the year on a high, then this event is for you. We’ll be specifically talking to more advanced freelance writers and focusing on organizing growth ideas into an actionable roadmap.
However, anyone else who wants to get started with taking a more methodical, process-oriented approach to growth is welcome to join us.
The main portion of the summit runs from May 6 to May 9 with a handful of “pre-party” sessions happening the week of April 28. You’ll also be able to join our private Circle community as soon as you register, so you can join in on the fun, learning, and camaraderie right away.
Most of the presentations for the summit are pre-recorded, but some sessions and other elements will happen live.
The pre-recorded presentations are available for 48 hours with your free ticket. We encourage you to attend live if you can.
We would also love for you to set aside some time during the summit week to watch the pre-recorded presentations, attend the live sessions, and participate with others who are creating their 1-page growth roadmap.
Even if you’re not able to attend all of the sessions live, go ahead and grab your free ticket, and you’ll have the opportunity to upgrade to the VIP Pass for extended access.
Your free ticket includes 48-hour access to each of the presentations. If you need more time, you can always upgrade your ticket to the VIP Pass after registering. It will give you extended access to the presentations, as well as other premium bonuses.
No. To avoid tech glitches and create the best overall experience for speakers and attendees, we decided to do pre-recorded sessions. They’ll be released at scheduled times during the summit. However, many of the speakers will be hanging out in our private Circle group with dedicated threads where you can connect with them and ask your questions. There will also be opportunities to join us for bonus live events throughout the week of the summit.
No. When you register, you’ll be added to the Freelance Cake email list so we can send you updates about the event and share links to each day’s presentations. After the summit is over, you’ll continue to hear from us, but you can unsubscribe at any time.
As for speakers and sponsors, they will have free resources available that you can access by providing an email address. They won’t get your email address unless you choose to give it to them. That way, you only hear from the people you really love and don't have to worry about getting added to 20+ email lists that you're not interested in.
You can learn more in our Privacy Policy.
Yes. All presentations have closed captioning. Notes are also available for each presentation in the upgrade options that you’ll see after registering for the event.
Please reach out if there’s anything we can do to ensure you’re able to enjoy this event.
