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

[AWAI]( WEEK IN REVIEW --------------------------------------------------------------- May 13 – 17, 2019 Hi {NAME}, Catching my breath on this "calm" Saturday after another exciting FastTrack to Copywriting Success Bootcamp and Job Fair … This past week over 400 of AWAI's most eager members made the trek to Delray Beach to meet, mingle with, and learn from some of the top writers and marketers in our industry. Bootcamp is always an amazing event … But something caught my attention especially this time. And that's the incredible success Circle of Success members are having within our industry — landing clients … writing controls … getting bigger and bigger retainers, payouts, and royalties! If you're not familiar — Circle of Success is AWAI's highest level of learning where we take you under our wing … help you choose the ideal niche … create a personalized learning track just for you … give you access to personal mentors … teach you one-on-one … and make sure you have everything you need … including feedback and direction on your writing from professional writers, like Agora copy chief Sandy Franks, AWAI co-founder Paul Hollingshead, and others. Many of the "Circle" members I spoke to about this dramatic "spike" in successes (more than half the members at Bootcamp are Circle of Success members because they get to go free) attribute it to one thing: And that's the heavy emphasis we put on the personal learning aspect of the program. Now — Circle of Success is a very comprehensive program. Impossible to fully describe here. That's why once a year we do something special … I host an "Open House" where we explain everything you'll ever need to know about Circle of Success — so you can make an informed decision as to whether it's for you … or not. I'm joined by special guests — including actual AWAI members who have used Circle of Success as a "springboard" in real and unique ways … instructors … even mentors who work every day with Circle members. And because it's "live" and in real time, you can ask us questions on the fly. It's taking place this coming Wednesday — May 22nd — at 12 noon ET. It doesn't cost anything … And there's no obligation to buy anything. Plus, the instant you sign up for this free live event, you'll have access to our very valuable "Circle of Success Open House Website", where you'll gain valuable career and writing insights from our most successful members.

It's a great SEO tool that will drive new traffic to the company's site. And it makes it easy for customers to find the information they're looking for when they're already on the site. Writing an FAQ page should also be pretty simple. To find out what questions are most frequently asked, just scroll through the company's social media pages and talk with their customer service and marketing teams.
