TODAY: Make big money writing for nonprofits (free training)

So many profitable opportunities for writers … [The Writer’ s Life]( December 7, 2023 "The difference between who you are and who you want to be is what you do." – Charles Duhigg Hi {NAME}, Many writers think they have a choice to make … Between making great money OR helping worthy causes. Because surely there isn't any money in nonprofits, right? I'm happy to report, it's 100% false. There is BIG money to be made … [And at 2:00 p.m. ET today](, we're going to bust that "no money myth" once and for all and show you how to tap into this misunderstood … and therefore underserved … high-paying $625+ BILLION-per-year niche. Our Learning Chief Pam Foster is leading the charge and says … If your heart is drawn to writing for charities and other nonprofit organizations, but you're thinking there's no money in that world, you're not alone. I'm often asked if there are well-paying opportunities in the Christian market … or writing about animals … or writing to support veterans … and other types of causes. I'm here to tell you YES!! You can make an excellent living writing for nonprofits and cause-focused companies. I know, because I have worked as a writer for The American Cancer Society, the NAVC (North American Veterinary Community), Women in the Pet Industry Network, and others. For just one NAVC project — a daily newspaper for their annual 4-day professional conference — I was paid $10,000. (It equaled more than $400 per hour for my work. Not bad, eh?!) I'm excited to join my colleague Lisa Christoffel on Thursday for an eye-opening discussion about the many opportunities in writing for nonprofits and other cause-related clients. Lisa has quite a track record in that world as well, as you'll discover. Together we're ready to surprise and delight you with insights on where the big money is in "writing for good!" I'm SO excited for this free training!! I spent an hour with Pam and Lisa a few weeks ago, so I could better understand the opportunity … And can't tell you how many times I had to stop the conversation to wrap my head around what they were telling me. It was mind-blowing … not only all the money, but the variety … SO MANY pockets of potential clients and writing projects I had never even thought of. Wait till you see this … [>> Grab the access instructions here.]( And in the meantime, today's issue will take you inside one of the numerous opportunities for writers Pam and Lisa will discuss today … This one is where businesses support worthwhile causes.

Take Starbucks for example … A while back I hit up the drive-through on my way to the dentist. They had a black chalkboard propped up by the menu: "Celebrate Labor Day with our Indivisible Blend! Buy a pound, create a job! $14.95/lb." I was intrigued. Fifteen bucks to create a new job? I made a mental note to find out more. Ten minutes later, in the fish-tank filled waiting room of my dentist, I turned on my phone to check Facebook. Southwest Airlines had a post showing a bright-eyed 12-year-old girl with a broad smile. The sign in her hands said, "I am Kait. I am brave. I beat cancer. I am loved." Minutes later, I was ushered to the exam room. I thumbed through Redbook while I waited. Eleven pages in was an ad for Lee Slender Secret Jeans. Next to the saucy, jean-clad model was a pink ribbon graphic. The fine print said, "Lee National Denim Day." I flipped a few more pages and found a second full-page ad from Lee. But there weren't any models wearing slender jeans. Instead, there was a content-looking, middle-aged woman with her arms crossed and a blue bandana on her head. Her husband and daughters smiled in the background. The fine print said: "You don't fight breast cancer with a pink ribbon alone. You fight it with a team." Below that, next to an American Cancer Society logo, it read: "Together we can rise above breast cancer. Join our team by donating $5 and wearing your jeans during October." Why Is This Relevant to Writers? Because without us, these messages get lost in the noise. Take the Denim Day message from Lee. If you do an Internet search for "lee denim day," you get a bunch of hits. Click on a few of them and you're taken to blog posts and web content that explains the program, and loads of pages from companies supporting the cause. It's a classic campaign that makes full use of writing skills — SEO, landing pages, social media content creation, email alerts, and more. Now consider the Southwest Airlines campaign. It's part of an extensive grant program that works with multiple charities to get kids necessary medical treatment and fly them and their caregivers to treatment centers, all for free. It's an ideal project for an online copywriter who can craft content-supported social media posts. The Redbook ad for the Lee National Denim Day is part of an enormous print outreach that gets echoed on the web. That means they need copy, copy, and more copy. I see cause marketing in daily Facebook ads. It shows up in my mailbox. It's on marquee signs I pass on the street, and by the cash registers at virtually every store I visit. Heck, even some of your existing clients may be part of cause-related campaigns — or they're looking to start one. Because remember, it's a triple-win … Nonprofits do it for survival. Businesses do it because customers love companies with heart. Buyers benefit because their money works harder — purchasing things they need or want and supporting good causes. Plus, research shows people consistently choose brands that support a cause over ones that don't. That's what makes it an ideal opportunity for copywriters … Take what you already know about communicating and combine it with specific cause-related writing techniques, and you'll have a unique, in-demand service you can offer to clients in this growing niche.
