The Confident Freelancer review
A $17.99 freelancing ebook on niche, clients and boundaries, credited to a PhD in Professionalism Psychology.
Pass
Freelancing advice is plentiful and often free from platforms and freelancers' unions, and the contents here are the usual topics. The promise of proven strategies for high-paying clients is where caution belongs: rates depend on field, market and portfolio, not on a PDF. The co-author's PhD in Professionalism Psychology is an invented field, and she is one of four co-authors surnamed Donald in this batch.

Niche, clients, boundaries
The listing covers positioning, pricing, branding and boundaries.
It is general advice.
High-paying clients
Rates depend on field and portfolio.
No ebook can promise them.
The co-author's degree does not exist
The listing credits Dr. Anne Donald with a PhD in Professionalism Psychology and 14 years of experience. No university awards a doctorate in that, and it is the pattern across the more than 120 titles from this seller in our catalogue: each book gets its own doctor with a PhD in exactly that book's subject.
Three of those names appear twice with different doctorates and different decades of experience, so the credentials are generated rather than held.
The rest of the numbers are decoration
Claims 345000+ readers, although the seller has no website, no catalogue page and no way to check. The $47 regular price sits next to $17.99 on every title in the catalogue and is never charged.
The reviews carry first names and US or European cities, which cannot be verified either.
