AWAI - Week in Review, Spotlight Job of the Week, and More ...

[AWAI]( WEEK IN REVIEW --------------------------------------------------------------- March 11 – 15, 2019 Hi {NAME}, This is very exciting … B2B writing expert Steve Slaunwhite is now accepting applications from writers ready to become his next B2B writing recruits. For 12 weeks, you'll train under Steve, who will teach you how to write the copy and content projects B2B companies desperately need to keep their businesses growing. Each week, you'll meet live online, where he'll walk you through all the steps of completing a crucial B2B writing project, including emails, landing pages, case studies, press releases, website copy, and so much more. [(You can read more about each one here.)]( Plus, as one of his recruits, you'll get personal feedback on writing assignments you turn in. This way, you can feel confident you're mastering each assignment correctly. The training begins in just 16 days and enrollment is limited to 75 writers, which means if you are ready to become a well-trained professional B2B writer, then you'll want to [send in your application immediately](. Once the 75 spots are filled, the open enrollment will come to an end. No other applications will be accepted. So if you want in … if you want to earn great fees and be considered an in-demand highly skilled professional writer, you have to act quickly. [You can enroll here.]( To your success, Katie P.S. After your training is finished, you'll receive a Certificate of Completion that shows you've obtained the necessary skills to tackle a wide range of high-paying B2B writing assignments. You can frame it and hang it on your wall, share it with clients, and include it in your portfolio. It's instant recognition of your achievement as a well-trained B2B writer. [Reserve your spot here.]( What's Trending This Week … It's Decision Time … Now's the time to decide if you're coming to the Copywriting Event of the Year — [AWAI's FastTrack to Copywriting Success Bootcamp and Job Fair]( — for 2 reasons: - Bootcamp usually sells out. We're already 90% full. I won't be surprised if we're sold out by the end of the month. And once all seats are reserved, that's it. There's not even any standing room only. - By deciding today, you'll save $500 off your cost of admission, which is the best discount you'll see moving forward. If you're not sure if you're ready for the 3 ½ days of intensive learning, networking and connecting that can only happen at this career-launching event, I'd like you to consider Julie Hassett 's experience … When I met Julie Hassett at Bootcamp in October 2013, she told me she had to convince her boss at a job she hated to give her three days off so she could travel to Delray Beach for the event. She was an uncertain newbie back then, saying, "My heart was racing. I was unusually nervous. Maybe something inside me knew that my life was about to change forever before I even realized it." Whatever that "something" inside of her was, it was right. Julie took advantage of the incredible energy that flows at Bootcamp and "networked like her life depended on it." As she says, "I arrived in Delray Beach as an 'aspiring copywriter.' I walked away as an up-and-comer with serious connections." And that was the start of what turned into income of $102,423 in just one year. If you're ready to be an "up-and-comer with serious connections" too, [reserve your spot today while seats are still available.]( A Note to PWA Members from PWA Managing Editor Jen Adams: [NEW! Get Published in PWA as a part of the Spec Challenge for AWAI's 2019 Bootcamp & Job Fair]( This year, AWAI's FastTrack to Copywriting Success Bootcamp and Job Fair is being held in May. It's the 14th–17th, and on the 16th, I will be hiring writers in person at the Job Fair portion of the event. But, you don't have to be there "in person" to get hired to write for PWA. The content "spec challenge" for Bootcamp is open to you, too, as a PWA member. You can [see all of the details right here](.

Why is the success rate so low? Maybe companies aren't nurturing their leads enough … Maybe they need to test new strategies to capture more qualified leads … Or maybe they just need better sales copy. But no matter which conclusion they draw, it's good news for you … Because if their solution is to nurture their leads with more content or to test more, they'll have more assignments to give … While if it's to write stronger copy, they'll need to pay more to get the job done.
