What if you could be paid more than you ever thought possible while doing what you love and leveraging your unique and incredible talents?


Do you struggle with...

  • wondering how to make reliable, predictable income from your unique talents and skill set?
  • creating offers that will enroll a steady stream of high paying clients and marketing to them?
  • packaging and pricing your services in a way that allows you to make significantly more income while doing the things you already do well (but aren't monetizing)?
  • ditching the “hustle” culture or freelancing structure, and start earning like an entrepreneur - without selling out or giving up your creative, personal, and professional freedom?


If you’re a creative stuck in the trap of working too hard for too little and you want to make a real, secure living with your unique talents, then you’re in the right place.




In just 90-minutes, you’ll receive tangible steps to move forward quickly!

  • create your offer
  • package and price yourself
  • generate leads
  • get people on your calendar
  • have sales conversations that close people into high-ticket offers with ease

“My monthly revenue is double what it was; I'm now positioned as an expert in my field vs. a generalist "freelance copywriter" lost in the noise; the clients I attract are all DREAM clients who get my value and are willing to pay me without question; I'm charging roughly triple what I used to charge for the same work, so I'm able to focus on one client at a time and get them much better results; I'm getting opportunities to speak and invites to be on podcasts. Overall, I have a much more solid handle on marketing, business/life goals, and where I want to go - vs. just sorta letting life push me around - and this has greatly increased my sense of self and confidence.” - Krista W., Krista Walsh Copywriter

"This was my second time leading a workshop with the District Bliss community. They are incredibly organized, communicative, transparent, and truly have a well-rounded best interest at heart for optimal success. The promotional process gave me an opportunity to connect with their community and share value before the main event. I especially enjoyed the opportunity to cross-promote and repurpose evergreen content- a genius marketing idea! If you are interested in showcasing your skills through a collaborative speaking opportunity with high-energy marketing that will expose you to other ambitious business owners, I recommend working with the District Bliss team." - Katelyn Parsons
