Setting priorities and hitting your 2025 goals just got a whole lot easier

May 6 - 9 is going to be packed with practical talks from seasoned pros. You’ll learn what’s working right now for freelance writers and decide what you’ll put in your 1-page growth plan.

And the resources and bonuses in the VIP Pass will make implementing your roadmap easier.

For example, let’s say you want to know what to post to turn followers into paying clients, so… you get Lizzie Davey’s The Promo Playbook (usually, $399) and do what it says.

HERE’S WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU UPGRADE YOUR PASS:

EARLY AND ONGOING PRESENTATION ACCESS

Instead of waiting for presentations to be released each day, you’ll get early access to all 23 talks and interviews on May 6. 

You’ll also have ongoing access to the content to watch or listen to as often as you like at your own pace.

SUMMIT WORKBOOK WITH ACTION STEPS

Listening to presentations and learning new stuff are important.

But the real freelance magic happens when you gather all the key insights and takeaways in one place and pinpoint the action steps so that you can implement what you learn.

All the current go-getters and former straight A students reading this will love the workbook.

PRIVATE PODCAST FEED OF ALL PRESENTATIONS

Don’t have time to sit and watch the presentations? Listen to them podcast-style instead. 

When you upgrade to the VIP Pass, you’ll get a private podcast feed of the presentation audios. 

You can add this feed to your favorite podcast player and listen to the audios while you’re consoling your whiny kids, sweating at the gym, or performing routine maintenance on the International Space Station.

ACCESS TO BONUS LIVE SESSIONS DURING SUMMIT

During the summit, we’ll make 3 exclusive live sessions available only to VIP Pass holders: 2 Ask Me Anything sessions and 1 hang-out plus networking session. 

You can also apply for 1 of 2 Hot Seat sessions where I’ll coach you through a challenge or opportunity in real time. All attendees are welcome at these sessions, but only VIP Pass holders can be picked for one of the spots.

1 MONTH FREE IN THE FREELANCE CAKE COMMUNITY

Connect with like-minded people and get the support, structure, and tools you need to stay focused and execute your roadmap.

We do live coworking and group coaching sessions each week, and the private, paid Circle community has become the best place on the internet for seasoned pros to share their struggles, celebrate wins, and get good advice fast. 

Once you apply to join and your application is approved, you’ll get your first 6 months of access for the price of 5.

Speaking of access, check out the premium bonus details below.

Frequently Asked Questions:

When will I get access to everything?

The bonuses listed on this page are ready and waiting for you. As soon as you purchase, you’ll receive an email that explains how to get instant access by logging into the VIP Pass portal. Once you’re logged in, you’ll find coupon codes for each of the individual speaker bonuses.

You’ll have until Sunday, July 13, 2025 to use the coupon codes to claim the bonuses you want. All presentation videos, notes, and podcast audio will be added to your portal on Tuesday, May 6, 2025.

How do I access the VIP Pass bonuses?

You’ll get a coupon code and link for each bonus. To get the bonus, you follow the link to the speaker’s website, opt in, and follow the instructions to get the bonus.

After logging in to the VIP Pass portal, take a few minutes to go through and claim each of the bonuses you want. You’ll quickly see why what you get is worth a lot more than you paid.

Be sure to claim all the bonuses you want by Sunday, July 13, 2025. After that, the coupon codes will expire, and out of respect to speakers and sponsors, we’re not offering extensions.

How do the live sessions work?

To attend live sessions, join the summit community hosted on Circle. You can create a free account and log in here.

Once you’re inside the community, navigate to the "Live Sessions" section to view upcoming live events. When you purchase the VIP Pass, you will be automatically RSVP'd to VIP-only live sessions.

Join the community now.

I saw this VIP Pass listed at a different price. Is this the same thing?

Yes, it is.

You may have seen the Fast Action or Early Bird price before the summit started. We aren’t offering those same discounts after the price has increased, and even at full price ($149), the VIP Pass is a steal.

The Fast Action pricing you see on this page is only available until the countdown hits zero and won’t be offered again. Click here to upgrade your ticket at the lowest price possible.

I already have one or more of the speaker resources. Can I get a discount?

No, we’re not offering discounts.

The VIP Pass is an insane value ($3,000+) even if you already have several of the resources. Compare what you’d pay for just 1 or 2 of them to the VIP Pass, and the VIP Pass is still a bargain at double or triple the regular price ($149).

Do you offer refunds?

No, we don’t offer refunds for any reason.

Here’s why: This VIP Pass is digital. It contains multiple instant downloads, as well as valuable resources you’ll download from speakers’ and sponsors’ websites. Once the digital mustard is out of the bottle, you can’t put it back in.

Be sure to look through all the details before you purchase and email us at hello@freelancecake.com with any questions you have.

How can I get my other questions answered?

Shoot us an email at hello@freelancecake.com, and we'll get back to you within 1-2 business days. Be patient with us because we’ll (obviously) be focused on making the summit amazing for everyone involved.

Upgrade your free ticket for a VIP Pass experience worth over $3,700, including ongoing presentation access plus bonus live sessions, workbooks, guides, SOPs, templates, cheat sheets, giveaways, and more…

To help you create a custom growth roadmap you believe in and hit your goals sooner.
