[AWAI]( WEEK IN REVIEW April 15 – 19, 2024 --------------------------------------------------------------- Get Paid to Oversee and Give Your "2 Cents" on Other Writers' Copy Happy Saturday, {NAME} — Most copywriters are shocked to learn that writing copy is just one way you can make great money. You can make just as much — sometimes more — by providing your opinion on writers' work. In fact … It's a highly sought-after skill in the direct-response world. And it's a skill that could help you: - Command premium fees of $5,000 per "review" and up to $10,000 per month with a single retainer … - Collect substantial royalties from campaigns other writers created … - And become a respected and strategic partner to "dream clients" who will love and value you — just for giving your opinion and suggestions for improving copy. The best part? You don't need to be a world-class copywriter to be exceptional at this. The skills that make someone great at this are different from those that make them a great copywriter. So if you're ready to add a new, highly profitable skill to your copywriting toolbox … [Make sure you check out this exclusive invitation.]( Katie Yeakle Co-Founder & Executive Director AWAI What's Trending … Flash Sale: Get Started Today for Just $69 The Easiest Writing You'll Ever Do!

Yet not all copywriting projects check all the "easy" boxes. [But this one does.]( Special Announcement from Barefoot Writer "We're Moving the Party to a NEW Clubhouse!!" Rachael Kraft shared big news for Barefoot Writers … "I'm so excited to announce that the Barefoot Writer Facebook group will be merging with AWAI's Copywriting Insiders Facebook group starting May 1. And I'm coming along for the ride! For years now, the Barefoot Writer Facebook community has existed separate from the rest of the AWAI family. We've decided to merge the groups so you have more access to ideas, inspiration, and support as you build your writer's life. The AWAI Copywriter Insiders group contains writers of all different experience levels, so you'll be treated to higher-level conversations and the opportunity to expand your knowledge of this writing world more quickly. And of course you'll still have access to all of your Barefoot Writer resources, the magazine, and all of the foundational level support we've offered in the group. We'll still be posting reminders about the magazine and familiar topics to help you take your first steps into the world of copywriting and content writing. I'm so excited to join the moderator team over at Copywriting Insiders. I love how the whole AWAI community bands together within this group to share successes, find inspiration, and work towards the common goal of finding freedom through well-paid writing. What a thrill! See you there soon!" For access, log in to your Barefoot Writer MyAWAI Member Page. It's Time — Join the Party!
