{NAME}, Latest news and upcoming events from AWAI

[AWAI]( WEEK IN REVIEW --------------------------------------------------------------- October 4 – 8, 2021 We've got a big week ahead of us, {NAME}. Bootcamp is finally here! I'm so excited … all of us here are. It's THE Copywriting Event of the Year!!! Looking forward to connecting with you when we kick-off on Tuesday and then being right there with you all the way through Friday. And here's something else I'm excited to share with you this week … It's a project that's just too good to pass up. It's an interesting (and different) opportunity for writers … A way to make up to $2,000 on average working with clients … … without writing a single word of copy. Fact is, this interesting "profit" opportunity doesn't require any significant amount of writing at all. If you can: - Follow a checklist … - Scribble down a couple of notes … - Fill in a simple template … - And then present it to a client … … you have what it takes to make $2,000 on average, every single time with this. Now is your chance to be mentored by the expert who created this simple "foot in the door" strategy. [Check out this briefing on this special kind of project here.]( Hope you're having a good weekend! Katie What's Trending … BRAND-NEW!!! Introducing the "Let's Write!" Experience When it comes to landing your first writing paycheck, here's my advice … Get some real hands-on experience writing alongside a pro … Looking over her shoulder as she walks you step-by-step through her whole mental process working on a paid writing project for a client … Pulling back the curtain to reveal the secret formulas she uses on EVERY piece she writes to guarantee its success … It's like mind-melding with someone years ahead of you and "stealing" their hard-won experience to leapfrog over years of trial and error! Which is exactly what I want to help you do today … Especially if you're a complete beginner with zero experience … Because right now, I've got a very special writer waiting in the wings to "partner up" with you … invite you into her home office … and give you that exact experience … That way you can "fast-forward" to the part where you cash your first writing check … And discover just how easy becoming a well-paid writer can really be!
