TODAY: How to thrive as a writer in 2023

It’s going to be a big year for writers … [The Writer’ s Life]( January 20, 2023 "Learning is the only thing the mind never exhausts, never fears, and never regrets." – Leonardo Da Vinci AI, the economy, a potential recession, oh my! What does it all mean for copywriters, {NAME}!? One word: Opportunity. And LOTS of it. During Hubspot's podcast, Marketing Against the Grain, its CMO and SVP of Marketing (Kipp Bodnar and Kieran Flanagan) unpacked their marketing predictions for 2023 … And surprise, surprise … they said copywriting is on FIRE. 🔥 We're going to unpack ALL of it in the coming weeks in great detail, so you not only understand it … but know how to leverage — and THRIVE — from it. Today, we're diving into a pool of opportunity that I'm VERY excited about for a few reasons … The first is because it's where companies will be forced to shift their attention this year to survive … which means built-in demand for you as a writer. But that's barely scratching the surface … The second reason is that it sets you up to get paid three times. Yes, you read that right — THREE times. 🤯 And we're still not done … Even though this opportunity has zero to do with selling, it can boost a company's bottom-line profits 25% to 95%. (!!) Imagine talking to any client with the ability to add that much PROFIT … the money the owners get to take home … to their business. It might be the easiest "yes!" you get in your entire writing career. [I explain the opportunity here.]( And then at 12:00 Noon ET today, AWAI Copy Chief Sandy Franks is going to hold a FREE training to help you get started … - You'll learn why she's calling this the most profitable writing skill for 2023 — and why it's so amazingly valuable regardless of the economic climate we find ourselves in … - You'll discover a simple roadmap for quickly landing your very first (or next) client by offering this as a service … - And you'll learn at least THREE more ways you can use this skill to land clients, earn higher fees, and become a "go-to" writer! This is in Sandy's wheelhouse … And she feels passionately that every writer can … and should … be doing this — regardless of experience level. That's why she's so excited to have you join her today. [>> Get the access instructions for the free training here.]( I'll be there too! Like I said, 2023 is going to be a big year for writers … And I can't wait to watch it unfold. [Rebecca Matter’ s signature] Rebecca P.S. In other news … because it's been all over the news … we've been getting many, many questions about the impact of ChatGPT and if it will be the end of copywriting as we know it today. The short answer: "No, it will not." In fact, many of our experts believe it will be a valuable tool copywriters will turn to make their jobs easier. We're digging in deep on this important topic and will publish a complete report next week with everything you need to know, followed by an in-depth summit that we're hosting the following week, completely free of charge. In the meantime, please don't get sucked into the AI "boogieman" story … I've seen lots of people trying to profit from it the last couple of weeks, using fear tactics. Remember, you can prove yourself right on any topic based on how you search. Smart marketers know this and write content that you're looking to find. There's a massive opportunity here — for knowledge and speed. And we'll ensure you know how to leverage both!
