From Day Jobs to Dream Jobs:
AWAI Writers Reveal How They Made the Leap
If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s really possible to go from complete beginner to paid copywriter — this panel will answer that for you, loud and clear.
During this special session at AWAI’s 2024 Copywriting Bootcamp, four writers shared an honest, behind-the-scenes look at how they made it happen. Their backgrounds were different — from construction and project management to acting and HR — but the themes were the same: clarity, action, community, and belief.
You’ll hear how they overcame doubt, landed their first clients, and built successful writing careers on their own terms. Whether they’re writing for clients full-time, part-time, or still growing their side hustle, each story proves there’s no one path — and that you’re never too early, too late, or too “nontraditional” to succeed.
In this inspiring panel, you’ll discover:
- How one writer leveraged LinkedIn to build a referral network and land clients
- Why small steps — not perfection — create lasting momentum
- The moment each panelist decided to “stop dabbling” and get serious about copywriting
- Real examples of what worked to land first gigs and build portfolios
- Why mindset, support, and the right training make all the difference
- How Bootcamp helped them clarify their path and believe in themselves
