Are You Ready for
Your Big Copywriting Break?

---

Dear Reader,

Imagine being handed your first paying copywriting job without making a single phone call … Or watching $13,000 in copywriting fees flood into your mailbox this month … Even landing so many clients that you’ve got to start turning work away!

Most copywriters will tell you success like that comes only after years of experience.

Not necessarily.

Even if you’ve never had a paying copywriting job before, even if you aren’t really sure you’re ready to “go for it,” this kind of breakthrough success can be yours in a matter of months. Yes … months.

How do I know? As Conference & Events Director at AWAI, my inbox is overflowing with success stories like these … and it happened just this fast for members exactly like you!

In fact, AWAI member Susan C. told me she spent four days renting a beach house in Del Mar, California. It’s a luxury she never could’ve enjoyed when she was working 9 to 5. But today she’s a freelance health copywriter earning upwards of $14,000 a month! Yet when we met, she hadn’t even written a letter “for pay” before.

If you ask her, just like so many others, she’ll tell you she owes it all to one single event …

AWAI’s FastTrack to Copywriting Success Bootcamp and Job Fair

“When I attended my first Bootcamp on September 18th, I really didn’t know what to expect. But I did know one thing … I wanted to be a copywriter. And in just THREE days’ time I was …

By September 21st, I had my first REAL copywriting project in the health field. By December, my sales letter was in the mail. By the end of January, I had my very first control and a nice paycheck to show for it! And things were about to get even better.

By February, I received a surprise bonus check for that first control and landed two more paying projects. Within just six months I had enough work to walk away from my full-time job at a Los Angeles television station and start living the life of a copywriter!”

– Susan C., Hawthorne, CA

In the 12 years I’ve worked with AWAI, I’ve seen the FASTEST successes … the BIGGEST career breakthroughs like Susan’s – without question – happen during Bootcamp or in the days, weeks and months that follow.

And it’s really no surprise …

Bootcamp is the only place where you’ll find the greatest minds in copywriting and the biggest names in direct marketing together under one roof. That’s a feat in itself, but there’s more …

Every single one of them is here to help you break into the field of copywriting you want to be in … whether it’s business-to-business, health, financial, fundraising, self-help, or writing for the web.

AWAI’s FastTrack to Copywriting Success Bootcamp and Job Fair is like taking an elevator straight up to the writer’s life while everyone else is taking the stairs …

 … AWAI member Krista J. landed her first paid copywriting assignment just two months after attending her first AWAI Bootcamp. Six months later, she had all the work she could handle and soon walked away from an $80,000-a-year job to live the writer’s life …

 … David C. turned in his spec assignment after Bootcamp and got his first letter in the mail. Even better, that letter brought him a $10,000 payday, plus royalties …

 … Jeff M. got offered a paying job on the spot at Bootcamp …

And this year, it’s your turn …

I’m Inviting You to Watch Your Copywriting Career
Take Off Faster Than You Ever Thought Possible!

If you want to grab the writer’s life with both hands, write better copy than you ever have before, and watch paychecks – even royalty checks – pile into your mailbox, then you can’t miss AWAI’s 2014 FastTrack to Copywriting Success Bootcamp and Job Fair in Delray Beach, Florida, which takes place October 15-18, 2014.

For three incredible days you’ll be flooded with fantastic “real world” copywriting techniques from today’s top working copywriters … you’ll get professional feedback on your own writing … a chance to mingle with marketers who hire writers like you … plus, you’ll get your pick of real assignments that can lead to paying work.

You’ll meet legendary copywriters and marketers like John Carlton, Clayton Makepeace, Dan Kennedy, Richard Armstrong, Donna Baier Stein, Herschell Gordon Lewis, Carline Anglade-Cole, and Brian Kurtz. For AWAI member David H., that’s what made the biggest difference …

As soon as you step through the doors on your first day, you’ll discover it too. There’s nothing that helps you speed through the learning curve like hearing the core writing techniques you’ve been reading about from the very Masters who created them …

• John Carlton – John’s notorious 30-year career as a freelance copywriter, marketing consultant and bad boy guru has become something of a legend among modern marketers. And for good reasons …

  He’s been called “the most respected and ripped-off copywriting wizard alive,” because so many of his ads are still used as templates by other marketers.

  He earned his vast “grizzled veteran’s” wisdom in the rough-and-tumble reality of direct-response marketing … where he made nearly every mistake possible (and he’s still pissed he didn’t make them all), learned the lessons well, and went right back into the fray to nail down what worked. And what he wrote once he hit his stride has worked very, very well indeed.

  A bit whacked, certainly a hard-living writer of the “rollicking good tale” school, and a fascinating storyteller and on-stage presenter with the chops to blow your mind.

• Clayton Makepeace is a 42-year direct-response veteran who’s written multimillion-dollar controls for some of the biggest names in the industry. When he speaks, copywriters and marketers listen!

  In a typical month, his web-based and email campaigns compel between 60,000 and 90,000 investors to register for and attend online video briefings — with gross sales of as much as $3.6 million in a weekend following these briefings … $5 million in a few weeks … and a staggering $16 million in a single month! All told, his copy has generated well over $1.5 BILLION in sales.

  He’s widely regarded as the world’s “highest-paid copywriter” and has received lavish praise from legends in the industry, including Brian Kurtz, Tom Phillips, Gary Bencivenga, Bob Bly, and Drayton Bird.

• Dan S. Kennedy has lived, worked, and prospered as a copywriter for the past 30 years. With average project fees from $50,000 to $150,000 (plus royalties) and well over $1 million per year earned from consulting and copywriting for clients, part-time, Dan is certainly one of the highest-paid copywriters in the world.

  For AWAI, he’ll draw on his entire career from start to present, to provide unprecedented insight into the how-to’s and, yes, some secrets to creating high demand, developing a stable of repeat and on-going clients, and commanding big income. His perspective on the business differs from many other copywriters. He may shock you, may annoy you, will challenge you, and may point you to new opportunity and superior if contrarian personal strategy.

• Richard Armstrong is one of the nation’s leading freelance copywriters, specializing in publishing, membership, and fundraising.

  His first freelance job was writing a letter for Bob Hope … and since then, he’s worked for nearly every client, selling nearly every kind of product, in nearly every medium for copywriting.

  Just how good is he?

  He’s the only copywriter who’s written a “junk-mail” letter that actually received fan mail … a press release that almost won an Oscar … and a speech that impressed ad legend David Ogilvy so much, he personally sent Richard a note from his castle in France!

  Richard’s clients have included some of the iconic names in direct marketing, including Boardroom, Rodale, Reader’s Digest, and many others. He’s a multi-time winner of the Caples Award, the Echo Award, the Maxi Award, and a winner of the special Maxwell Sackheim Award for “distinctive achievement in direct marketing.”

  He’s the author of THE NEXT HURRAH: The Communications Revolution in American Politics (William Morrow & Company, 1988) and the world’s only novel about direct mail, GOD DOESN’T SHOOT CRAPS (Sourcebooks, 2006).

• Donna Baier Stein has been a direct-marketing copywriter for 35 years. She’s worked with well-known clients, such as The Nature Conservancy, Citrix, Smithsonian, Time-Life, World Wildlife Fund, GEICO, Eating Well Magazine, Rodale, Oxford University Press, National Audubon Society, and American Express.

  If you’re having trouble staying in the “flow,” struggle with distraction, and have a hard time writing copy that really grabs your prospect’s attention, you’ll definitely want to hear what Donna has to say.

  She’s had an incredibly successful career, and lately has been developing ways copywriters can better get into the “flow,” to write better copy and build a successful freelance business.

  Throughout her career, she’s won plenty of awards, including ECHO, AMBIT, and MAXI Awards, and in 2003 Donna was named Direct Marketer of the Year by the New England Direct Marketing Association.

  She’s also a great copywriting teacher. Donna created the first copywriting seminar for the Direct Marketing Association and enjoyed teaching online and in-person copywriting seminars for DMA for 20 years. She has also taught copywriting and writing at many regional DM clubs, Johns Hopkins University, The American University, Fairleigh Dickinson University and many other settings.

  Her books include McGraw Hill’s Write on Target and The New Marketing Conversation.

  She has given in-person copywriting seminars at Fidelity, AIG, AT&T, Worldwide Business Research, Citrix, National Wildlife Federation, and other organizations.

  Donna holds a fellowship from the Writing Seminars at Johns Hopkins University.

  One more thing you may not know about Donna – her novel FORTUNE, was a semi-finalist in the 2011 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Awards and also won a PEN/New England Discovery Award.

• Herschell Gordon Lewis is one of the highest-paid, most respected, best-known direct-response copywriters in the world. In fact, no discussion of direct marketing in the past 50 years would be complete without a mention — several mentions — of Herschell.

  He’s the author or co-author of more than 30 books, including THE classic textbook on copywriting, On the Art of Writing Copy, and he’s been named to the Direct Marketing Association Hall of Fame.

  Herschell is also famous within the world of motion pictures — as the originator of what now are called “splatter” films! He’s always engaging, and often hilarious – which is why he’s among the most requested Bootcamp speakers each year.

• Carline Anglade-Cole is a copywriter and consultant and owner of Cole Marketing Solutions.

  She has created multi-year controls for HEALTH RESOURCES. She launched TRUE HEALTH – and skyrocketed them into a leading position in the nutritional supplement industry in less than 3 years.

  She was also responsible for the launch of “O Magazine” in the direct-mail arena.

  Carline helped bring NEOGENIS into the alternative-health marketplace with their first direct-mail promotion that pulled over a 4% response – and consistently kept them in the mail monthly for 2 years.

  She’s created successful concepts to help international clients such as XTEND-LIFE break into the U.S. market … and created copy and launched dozens of new products for: BISCAYNE LABS … SCHWEIZ HEALTH … VITAMIN SCIENCE, INC – just to name a few!

• Brian Kurtz is the executive Executive Vice President of Boardroom, Inc.

  For the past 31 years, he’s been the driving force behind Boardroom’s marketing efforts – helping them become the $100+ million-a-year newsletter and book publisher they are today.

  What makes him such a skilled marketer? His passion for constant learning and uncovering what works and what doesn’t in the current marketplace.

  Brian’s philosophy: If he’s the “smartest” guy in a room full of marketers, he’s in the wrong room!

  You’ll also be hearing from some of our long-standing, highly acclaimed Bootcamp favorites and master instructors, including Bob Bly, John Forde, Jennifer Stevens, Will Newman, Pam Foster, Joshua Boswell, Lori Haller, Katie Yeakle, and Rebecca Matter.

  Each of these speakers brings something special to the event for you – and because this event is unlike any other in our industry, they understand that Bootcamp is not just a presentation platform. They come ready, willing, and able to help you make a leap forward with your copywriting plans. They are open and available to you throughout the event – not just in their session – and many of them can be found sharing tips and advice non-stop from the first day of Bootcamp to the last.

And that’s not even the entire line-up!

Sure, AWAI’s basic copywriting program has all the information you need (and more) to land your first copywriting job, start writing winning letters, and change your life. Still, building your confidence and learning the “ins and outs” of the business can take years. But there’s an easier way …

Heard of Monica Day? She’s one of your fellow AWAI members … a copywriter who’s in high demand. She climbed the ladder at lightning speed using what she learned during three short days at Bootcamp …

“After my first Bootcamp, I went home and made my first $17,482 in copywriting fees in just three months. After my second Bootcamp, I secured four new major clients, wrote seven direct-mail packages, started my own internet business, and cracked the six-figure milestone after just two years as a professional copywriter! Honestly, I couldn’t have made it this far this fast without this program.”

– Monica D., Philadelphia, PA

The thing is, reaching that higher level of success – where you can pick your clients, name your price and enjoy royalty checks in the thousands of dollars – is happening for brand-new writers because of Bootcamp. And this year …

You Will Learn How to “Wow” Clients
Into Paying You Top Dollar …

Each day you’ll move from session to session with Master copywriters and marketers, absorbing their decades of experience like a sponge. You’ll hear how top writers get clients and negotiate fees and royalties – all of the little secrets that can make a big difference in pushing your income into six-figure territory. It happened for Joshua Boswell.

At his very first Bootcamp Job Fair he landed FOUR brand-new clients and FIVE new assignments. His income since then has gone through the roof.

In fact, Joshua has had so much success in the past few years that we’ve invited him to come to Bootcamp as the Emcee and Host for this year’s event. Joshua is an inspiring speaker, and he willingly shares his secrets and techniques on how he created this “writer’s life” lifestyle for himself and his family … he’ll show you how you can do the same thing.

Of course the real “wow” factor is the caliber of copy these writers produce. They’re winning control after control while writing only a few hours a day! And you’ll discover exactly how they do it. These Bootcamp speakers are working pros who will step you through their writing techniques with true-life examples. You’ll find out many new secrets too. Like how to write more in less time …

And while your bank account grows, so does your free time. And that means more hours to spend enjoying your life with family and friends – just like AWAI member Melia C …

She recently sent me a note from Tortola, British Virgin Islands. She’s spending three months there before heading to Paris. Talk about living the writer’s life! And she credits Bootcamp with giving her the skills and the confidence to succeed …

“My main concern entering Bootcamp (and I know I wasn’t alone in this) was self-promotion. I was a good writer before Bootcamp, but a D- self-promoter. Now, I can confidently say I am a great writer and a grade-A self-promoter. The self-confidence I have now to market my services will be invaluable to my copywriting career. So, thank you, each one of you, so much. Bootcamp exceeded my (very high) expectations. And I will certainly be returning next year.

– Melia C., Charlottesville, VA

You’ll Discover How to Crack Niche Markets,
From Health to Financial to Self-Help …
and Earn Money Writing About What You Love

One of the best ways to become “in demand” fast and increase your chances of higher fees and royalties is to specialize. However, unless you’ve already got inside connections in the health, financial, fundraising, or self-help markets, you’ll spend months trying to figure out the intricacies of each one. And that’s another reason why Bootcamp is such an incredible opportunity for new writers like you.

Earlier you heard how Susan C. landed her first health control right after Bootcamp. Well, here’s something she didn’t mention …

She told me that if she had been handed that very same project before Bootcamp, she’s not sure she could have pulled it off. You see, she had studied the principles of writing, but didn’t have an ounce of experience with nutritional supplements.

At the FastTrack Bootcamp Job Fair, she got to talk with health marketers like Jenny Thompson from NewMarket Health. And suddenly she realized the specific emotional hot buttons nutritional supplement copy has to push to make a sale. In other words, she learned important secrets that won her that control.

At this year’s Bootcamp, we’re offering even more niche market writing insights … from master marketers who will be attending Job Fair as well.

AWAI’s FastTrack to Copywriting Success Bootcamp and Job Fair is the only place I know of where you can go from being “green” to being confident in every word you write virtually overnight! And when it comes to landing your first paying project, you won’t have to look far …

You’ll Meet Marketing Directors From Major Companies
Who Are in Dire Need of Copywriters Like You

We’re always searching for new ways to make it easier for you to find clients. Especially good clients who offer steady, high-paying work that interests you. Up until now, you may have responded to ads in The Golden Thread or DirectResponseJobs.com, or sent out promotional letters.

While there’s nothing wrong with this approach, and it has certainly worked for many AWAI members, just imagine how much faster and easier it will be to meet the people who want to hire you face to face.

At the FastTrack Bootcamp Job Fair, you’ll get the exceptional opportunity to do just that …

We’re gathering marketing representatives from dozens of companies – including some brand-new names. They’re all looking for fresh talent in health, financial, fundraising, information products, internet marketing, and more. You’ll get the chance to talk with them and learn about their businesses. And it’s only the beginning of the opportunity …

While you’ll get plenty of business cards, many of these marketers will also hand you what other copywriters have to sweat for – real live copywriting assignments!

That’s right, you’ll leave with actual copywriting assignments on spec for major marketers like … Boardroom Inc … Newsmax Media … MoneyWeek … International Living … Stansberry & Associates … Weiss Research … The Institute for Natural Healing … Sovereign Society … and many more!

Yes, these are the very same companies that turn away experienced copywriters every single day, yet they’ll hand you a spec assignment, which could possibly lead to a nice paycheck! Some marketers will be interviewing copywriters on the spot – they’re here to meet you!

Just One of These Spec Assignments
Can Lead to Dozens of High-Paying Copywriting Jobs

If you’ve been waiting for your big break, this could be the project that sets your career in motion. Like I said earlier, in the days, weeks and months that follow Bootcamp, my in-box fills up with letters from excited members who are reporting their incredible successes. It’s one of my favorite times of year, because I get letters like this one from Phil G. in Plano, Texas …

“I submitted a spec assignment to a financial newsletter. The spec may be expanded into a full promo. Meanwhile they wanted a renewal series right away and hired me to do those, which I did. So the Job Fair spec assignment led directly to a paying assignment, and I'm hoping it will lead on to greater things to follow.”

– Phil G., Plano, TX

And Susie H. from Shakopee, Minnesota, wanted me to share this note with you …

“I did walk away with a paid assignment. Networking happens, whether you consciously do it or not. Let it take you where it will, because you’ll be thrilled when it does. And, when you get home and the phone rings the next day with another paid assignment, you can grin, make the deal, then hang up and scream and jump for joy. Go ahead. Expect it all. It happens.”

– Susie H., Shakopee, MN

This year I hope to be hearing from you!

I’ve made it my personal mission to make sure you’ll find more opportunity to launch your six-figure copywriting career at this year’s Bootcamp than ever before. And most important, that you’re fully prepared to reach out and grab it!

You’ll Gain New Strategies to
Deliver Control-Winning Copy Every Time!

There are tracks for both basic and advanced copywriters. You can jumpstart your new career with information about copywriting, getting clients, and running a business. Or, if you’ve attended Bootcamp a few times already, you can master more sophisticated copy techniques, learn about the latest trends in the marketplace, and enhance your entrepreneurial skills to increase your revenue.

And don’t worry about having to choose which session to go to. As a Bootcamp attendee we provide you with our Homestudy Program recordings absolutely FREE …

“The best part of the entire experience was the chance to meet the experts. They are knowledgeable, experienced, successful, and very, very generous with what they know. I am confident I can do this.”

– MaryBeth S., Shoreham, NY

AWAI brings some of the copywriting legends working today to these events. The writing secrets they’ll share can undoubtedly open the floodgates to steady work in your favorite area. But there’s another reason Bootcamp is helping so many AWAI members grow into successful, well-paid copywriters …

If you haven’t noticed by now, AWAI’s 2014 FastTrack to Copywriting Success Bootcamp and Job Fair isn’t just another conference. Now let me show you why we call it a “Bootcamp” …

You Get the Chance to Write … and Get Real Live Feedback
From Professional Copywriters

The best way to master any skill is through practice. That’s why we’re giving you the important experience of honing your writing process – from concept to copy – in live writing workshops. During our mini review and peer review sessions, you’ll get critiques of your work from the pros and fellow copywriters. It’s the kind of feedback that can make your writing deeper, better balanced and more compelling.

“I got the most out of the sessions that at first concerned me more than any others: the Writing Workshops. I was really intimidated by having my headline and lead critiqued by the pros and fellow members. But I shouldn’t have worried. Their comments were very positive, and the suggestions they offered definitely improved the copy and style. This was the ‘Kick in the Tail’ I needed to get serious about my copywriting!”

– Bill A., Durham, NC

If this isn’t the fastest way to shift your copywriting career into overdrive and start getting paychecks for $5,000, even $10,000 on up, I don’t know what is!

So Why Not Join Us This October
in One of the Nation’s Most Beautiful Places

AWAI’s 2014 FastTrack to Copywriting Success Bootcamp is being held on Florida’s Gold Coast, at the Delray Beach Marriott. It’s a stone’s throw from a gorgeous white sand beach and the warm, clear waters that have made Florida famous. Wake up in the morning and the first thing you’ll smell is fresh ocean air.

The beach is wonderful, but what you’ll really like is our city. The hotel’s just a few blocks from downtown Delray Beach where you’ll find sidewalk cafes, antique shops, restaurants, art galleries, jazz clubs, and lots of shopping, too. With temperatures in the mid 70s, October is one of the best times to be out and about.

You Never Know Who You’ll Meet
Or How They’ll Help Change Your Life

Just when you think we can’t pack any more valuable information, quality job leads or practical hands-on experience into this year’s Bootcamp, there’s something else that happens to transform you from novice into professional copywriter. It has nothing to do with writing or even listening to so many top copywriters … instead, it’s about getting to know them.

”Bootcamp is also a chance to strengthen relationships, make new contacts, and build friendships. One highlight for me was watching the Space Shuttle lift off while wading in a moonlit ocean along with a group of friends – old and new.”

– Chris A., Ontario, Canada

During session breaks, you might get the chance to chat with Bob Bly or Clayton Makepeace about copywriting or just life in general. Or you may bump into Jen Stevens or John Forde at one of the breakfasts, luncheons, or cocktail parties. Maybe you’ll even have a cocktail with Nick Usborne or AWAI co-founders Don Mahoney or Paul Hollingshead – they’ll be around!

And you’ll be amazed at what you can discover. Not just about writing either, but about travel, food, wine, music, kids – you name it. Suddenly you see they’re all regular people just like you. And you realize if THEY can do it … well, so can you.

Now you know why even established copywriters are taking the time out of their busy schedules to make the trip to AWAI’s 2014 FastTrack to Copywriting Success Bootcamp. And why dozens of past attendees keep coming back year after year.

In just three short days, Bootcamp can rocket launch your copywriting career just like it has for so many other AWAI members …

“This event confirmed, once again, that my investment in AWAI has been the smartest, most fruitful and most rewarding investment I could have made for my career. I can’t imagine getting a better education anywhere else. AWAI is like a big, smart family that connects me to a circle of folks who ‘get’ what I do and encourage me to reach for the stars!”

– Pam F.,
Beaufort, SC

(Writers who often have years of experience in direct mail.)

Bootcamp is the only place where you’ll discover how to write strong, control-winning copy … easily connect with high-paying clients in your favorite niche … and leave with real spec assignments – all in just THREE short days. What’s more, the full cost of Bootcamp is only $1,995 (only $1,795 if you register before midnight September 1st) – well under half the cost of those other conferences.

“This was a wonderful opportunity to meet the best in the business and to hear success stories from people who only a few years ago were in the same position as me. Just being in the same room with them was worth the price of Bootcamp. All the people I met, the contacts I made, not to mention the valuable information I got from listening to the masters. Yes, yes, yes … I WILL BE BACK!”

— Jacqueline P., Hollister, California

“I’ve been to the AWAI Bootcamp for the past two years and I wouldn’t miss it for the world. Every year I learn more than the year before. I meet new contacts and greet old friends. But most of all, each year Bootcamp becomes the launching pad for new projects, new clients, and most of all, better copy.”

— Marcella A., Cincinnati, OH

“Bootcamp was one of the best experiences of my life. Your speakers were dynamic, their topics were pertinent, and the information was non-stop. It was a more beneficial experience than I could have imagined. I made some great new contacts, was flooded with fantastic ideas and got a real intangible as well – a confidence boost that I can succeed in my new career. I am looking forward to next year already!!”

— Chuck D., Lake Zurich, IL

“I got the most out of the sessions that at first concerned me more than any others: the Writing Workshops. I was really intimidated by having my headline and lead critiqued by the pros and fellow members. But I shouldn't have worried. Their comments were very positive and the suggestions they offered definitely improved the copy and style. This was the 'Kick in the Tail' I needed to get serious about my copywriting!”

— Bill A., Durham, NC

“I had a wonderful time at Bootcamp. What impressed me the most was how personable the AWAI staff and speakers were. Though they were busy, they would always take a moment to answer any questions posed by novice Bootcampers, like me. After dealing with my day job for the last week, I'm getting ready to jump into some of the spec assignments. I cannot thank you enough!”

— Cassandra H., Mobile, AL

— Cherie R., Ft. Myers, FL

“Wow . I came home from Bootcamp with so much material that I am just starting to catch up. AWAI did a great job with this Bootcamp. I couldn't be happier with the staff and the sincere desire everyone at AWAI has to make us all successful.”

— Michael L., Waxhaw, NC

“By mid-day on day 1 I had already gotten my money's worth. The breadth of the material presented was amazing. I was (and continue to be) blown away by the openness, friendliness and complete availability that the presenters and staff constantly displayed. Where in the world did you find so many experts who are such great teachers and great people?”
