Writing Contest! 3 winners will receive $200...

I love doing this … [The Writer’ s Life]( January 10, 2023 "Just take any step, whether small or large. And then another and repeat day after day. It may take months, maybe years, but the path to success will become clear." – Aaron Ross Writers write, {NAME} … Every single day. But until you have a daily practice, writers are often unclear about what they should be writing. I've got something for you to write today that can help build a daily practice … AND, since deadlines and money are good incentives to get something done — I figure we may as well make it a writing contest that gives you … - Real-world experience - A writing sample you can use right away - A chance to earn $200 - And a way to build a steady writing practice that can advance your writing career — even if you've yet to land a paying client. With the massive boom in e-commerce during the pandemic (a trend that continued in 2022), the demand for digital copywriters is at an all-time high … So, we're going to have you write the same "short-form copy" used by e-commerce companies today. For the contest, you'll write an 83-word product description for a hydroponic herb garden — a garden that allows you to grow herbs without any soil. Don't worry if you're not familiar — you will be very soon! Digital Marketing Expert Nick Usborne (our contest judge) has put together a full project scope with all the details … just like you would receive from a client assigning you a real project. Write one of his top three favorite descriptions and you'll win $200! [>> You can access the contest details and scope here.]( But the contest is really just the beginning … Not only will you have the chance to try your own hand at doing this assignment … Nick will share with us which entries were strongest and why — giving you the opportunity to learn from one of the most sought-out experts in the industry. From there, you can continue to hone your craft by selecting another e-commerce product from Amazon … a coffee maker, a fitness tracker, an infant safety product, really whatever you're interested in writing about. Then simply gather the same information we give you in the [brief for this contest]( and write another description for the product of your choice. Not only will you improve your ability to turn out short-form copy fast … but it will also give you a daily writing practice. Looking for bonus points? #Iloveoverachievers When you continue this exercise after the contest, pick products in a specific niche you'd like to write for … So you become more and more familiar with the audience and develop a relevant portfolio of samples at the same time. That way your daily practice will give you experience, confidence, and ideally … set you up for paychecks!
