Your “Pivotal Moment” Has Arrived!

Step Up to the Industry’s Highest Level
of MENTORED COPYWRITING SUCCESS…
The Path More of AWAI’s
Most Successful Members Have
Chosen than Any Other…
And Get EVERY PENNY You’ve Spent
on AWAI Training Over the Past Year
CREDITED BACK TO YOU!

Hi Reader,

I have some exciting news about our highest level of personalized training, Circle of Success…

And why this moment — right now — may be one of the most important turning points in your writing journey.

Why you?

Because Rebecca and I have been watching.

We’ve seen the steps you’ve taken — the programs you’ve selected, the skills you’ve started building.

And based on 28 years of guiding writers from their first steps to thriving careers, we recognize the moment you’re in right now.

It’s what we call a pivot point.

The point where writing shifts from being something you’re exploring…

To something you’re ready to pursue seriously.

The moment when the decisions you make next can shape the speed, depth, and direction of your entire career.

By now, you’ve seen just how real this opportunity is.

You’ve experienced the power of copywriting…

You’ve taken smart steps to build your skills…

You’re starting to understand and experience the enormous impact AI can have on your speed and ultimate success as a writer — and AWAI’s commitment to making sure you’re miles ahead in this area…

And you’re starting to imagine your version of the writer’s life — one filled with freedom, flexibility, and control.

In other words, you’re doing everything right.

And like so many successful writers who reach this pivot point, you may be asking yourself:

Can I really do this?

And…

Can I do it on my own?

The answer to the first question is easy: Yes, absolutely.

If you enjoy writing, love learning, and want to create a better life, there’s nothing standing in your way.

The second question — Can I do it on my own? — is a bit more complicated.

Because yes, you can figure it out by yourself…

But it’s not always the fastest or the easiest path.

Too often, new writers get overwhelmed by all the choices…

They lose momentum, question themselves, or feel stuck.

And sadly, many give up — not because they couldn’t do it, but because they didn’t have the support they needed at the right time.

That’s not going to happen to you.

Because there’s a step you can take right now that clears away the confusion…

Gives you clarity, support, and expert guidance…

And practically guarantees you’ll keep moving forward, faster and more confidently than ever.

It’s the same step so many of AWAI’s most successful members have taken at this exact stage in their journey:

They joined Circle of Success.

And because we want to make this move as easy and meaningful as possible — especially after the investment and momentum you’ve already built…

We’ve brought back something that’s long been a favorite among our most committed members…

Which is why — through this invitation only — you can apply a full credit for EVERYTHING you’ve spent with AWAI in the past 12 months toward your lifetime Circle of Success membership.

This includes ALL programs and courses you’ve purchased…

ALL live training…

ALL certifications…

THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO EXCEPTIONS!

It’s our way of rewarding your progress…

Making this decision more affordable…

And giving you total confidence that your next step is the right one.

We’ll share more details about how our “no limitations” full credit works in just a moment…

Along with additional discounts just for being a part of the “Copywriting in the AI Era” event…

And new, special payment terms that make joining not only simple — but 100% RISK-FREE as well.

But first…

Just what is Circle of Success, and why has it made such a difference in the lives and success of so many writers?

The “Last Word” in Professional
Copywriter Education

Simply stated, Circle of Success is AWAI’s most comprehensive training — by far.

It’s designed for people, like you, who have made up their minds about becoming a professional copywriter…

And want the kind of personalized, mentored learning that can have a massive impact on your success…

As well as catapult you to the upper echelons of the copywriting world faster than you ever thought possible.

The impact Circle of Success has had on its members is undeniable.

Steve Coombes, a copywriter who now also runs a very successful coaching business for freelancers, called joining Circle of Success his “make-or-break” moment:

Steve Coombes

“I had to decide whether I would continue treating copywriting like a hobby or if I was going to make it a serious and a full-fledged business worthy to invest in. And today, I make significantly more money than I did when I worked in IT. Circle of Success has directly contributed and it continues to contribute to my success and my income.”

Julie Hassett, who writes for top-level clients across many niches, told us this:

Julie Hassett

“For me, the benefits began kicking in immediately. I started taking the live courses and getting feedback on my writing right away. And you can just choose any program and get it. That’s a huge help to anyone starting out.”

After using Circle of Success’ contacts and access to work on projects alongside top copywriters in the industry, Elizabeth Blessing told us this:

Elizabeth Blessing

“I don’t think I would have dared to aspire to something so enormous if it hadn’t been for my Circle of Success experience.”

There’s also Dave Sharpe — who landed a massive web-writing job for a global client and said, very simply…

Dave Sharpe

“The knowledge and skills I picked up from Circle of Success gave me the confidence I needed to play at this level.”

And those are just a few of the many hundreds of writers who have seen their fortunes change dramatically after joining Circle of Success.

But none of it is luck.

Circle of Success works because it’s hands-on, personalized, and always evolving — continuously adapting to the needs of today’s writing marketplace and preparing members for what’s next…

Which now includes a new reality:

Businesses aren’t just looking for copywriters who can write…

They need strategic thinkers who understand persuasive writing, know how to use AI effectively, and can contribute across multiple marketing channels.

That’s why AWAI is changing how and what it teaches so you’re fully prepared for this new era of opportunity and able to thrive within it.

And as a Circle of Success member, you’ll not only be at the forefront of this new training, but…

You’ll get it all without having to invest any more money than your membership fee.

Allow me to share with you — in more detail — how Circle of Success works — and all the lifetime benefits you’ll see as a member.

High-Level Access, Guidance, and Training at Every Stage of Your Copywriting Career

As a Circle of Success member, you have the full weight, influence, and connections of the world’s largest and longest-standing copywriter training organization behind you.

You have a special “in” with all the top people here at AWAI — Rebecca, Sandy, Pam, Paul, me, and senior members of our training team.

You have lifetime access to literally tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of professional resources — including AWAI’s entire library of skill- and business-building resources.

You’re also one call or email away from your personal mentor — a professional copywriter who’s there to answer questions, guide your progress, and help you move forward at every stage.

You’re invited to exclusive live events, office hours, and client Power Summits where you learn, meet, and network with top people in our industry.

And those are just the surface-level perks.

Because what truly makes Circle of Success so powerful is the way we work one-on-one with you to guide your career forward — step-by-step, on your terms.

We’ll…

Want some insider’s advice on a certain niche? One call to your mentor ensures they can help you or point you to someone who can.

Not sure what to charge for a project or a series of projects? When you’re a Circle member, that information is an email away — along with expert advice on how to position your proposal like a pro.

As part of your COS membership, you also gain full access to Copywriting Academy — our most in-depth, structured, and results-driven training.

It’s not just another “course” on copywriting.

It’s a full professional curriculum that we’re transforming to teach you everything businesses are looking for today…

Including the fundamentals of persuasive writing, the art of direct response, and the 5 Core Capabilities that every high-level writer needs in today’s AI-transformed marketplace:

  1. Persuasive Writing
  2. Marketing Strategy
  3. AI-Assisted Content Creation
  4. Smart Editing
  5. Professional Client Service

Inside Academy, you’ll not only learn — you’ll write, revise, test, and earn your place among professionals.

It’s the only training program where you must pass real writing assignments and assessments to earn your industry-recognized certification as a direct-response copywriter.

And while others have paid thousands to join Copywriting Academy, it’s included at no cost as part of your Circle of Success membership.

More on Academy shortly…

But just know that in addition to A-level training — Circle of Success is like having an entire professional support team by your side 24/7 at EVERY stage — from the time you start learning… to when you’re ready to start building your business… to well into your career.

Start Earning While You Learn

And because of the SPEED with which you’ll be mastering marketable skills… many Circle of Success members start generating income as writers while they’re learning!

Like what happened for new Circle members Rebekah Mays, Mike Minicucci, Zoe Blarowski, Shirley Ann Chua, Brad Dunsé, and others who told us they landed assignments with fees ranging from $2,000 to $10,000…

Or Derek Coleman, who had been a Circle of Success member for only a few months when he sent us this note:

Derek Coleman

“Just landed a $5K monthly copywriting retainer (plus royalties) this morning… AND a $2K email campaign last night… ALSO, I just raised my rates.”

And then there’s Circle of Success member Raechel Pierce — she was brand new to copywriting when she wrote to tell us she landed FIVE paid writing assignments with a health company she approached, including a pair of case studies and a white paper.

She’d never written those formats before — but everything she needed to succeed was waiting for her inside the all-access library.

There are countless stories like these inside the Circle of Success community.

But no story better illustrates the full, transformative potential of COS than the rise of Jon Stoltzfus

One Man’s Incredible Transformation
from Aerospace Engineer to
A-Level Copywriter

At first glance, Jon would seem as far removed from copywriting as anyone could be.

Jon Stoltzfus

He spent years as an aerospace engineer contractor, working long hours under constant stress, always wondering if the next layoff was just around the corner.

But he’d always had two passions: writing and investing…

So when he discovered it was copywriters who wrote those financial sales letters he’d get in the mail and online — he did a little research… and discovered that many people who write those letters had connections to AWAI.

He was determined to join them. The idea of choosing his own hours, working from anywhere, and getting to write about finance and investing was too good to ignore!

But Jon knew from his years as an engineer that to be ultra-successful at writing, he would have to immerse himself in his new craft…

He wanted to know the advanced secrets… learn more about the Big Ideas that drive successful sales letters… write meaningful copy…

And get professional feedback on his work.

He wanted to know that if he ever had any questions about writing or any other aspect of the business, there was someone he could call or email for the answer.

He wanted to get to know industry influencers…

Find out which companies were looking for new copywriters.

And more importantly…

He needed to make certain they got to know him.

In short — he was looking for a “partnership” in learning… someone who could teach him, guide him, and champion his success.

So, Jon did what many of our most successful members do.

He joined Circle of Success.

Immediately, Jon had access to everything:

More than $60,000 in professional training, a team of mentors, exclusive access to events, and one-on-one support to help him build a personalized path — just for him.

We helped him identify the right niche…

Introduced him to the top people in his industry…

Reviewed his copy — and when it was ready, helped him make sure the right people saw it.

And that’s when things took off.

Today, Jon is an A-level copywriter and marketing leader with million-dollar controls under his belt and is running both copy and marketing teams for his clients.

He tells us he was earning more as a writer in his first two years than he ever did as an engineer. But most importantly, he’s finally living life on his terms.

Jon’s story is a perfect illustration of why joining Circle of Success is such a life-altering move for so many people.

So too is the fast success Elizabeth, Steve, Dave, Julie, Derek, and many other real-life members experienced when they made the decision to step up to this elite level.

And now, it’s your turn.

Because right now, you have the opportunity to join Circle of Success — and immediately begin taking advantage of everything membership includes…

From unlimited access to our entire skill- and business-building library…

To one-on-one mentorship and guidance

To our all-new Copywriting Academy, where you’ll soon be mastering the 5 Capabilities today’s clients are demanding… and have the certification to prove it…

And so much more.

It’s a powerful, proven path — and you’ll be supported at every step.

But before we get to all that…

You’ve met some members. You’ve seen the big picture.

Now let’s take a closer look at how it all works — and what happens the moment you join.

Just Some of Your
Circle of Success
Benefits Explained

As you read through the many benefits, remember this:

Every Circle of Success journey is personalized — built around your interests and the kind of writer’s life you want to create.

But for every member, it begins with one of the most appreciated aspects of COS:

Free Lifetime Access to AWAI’s Extensive (and Growing) Resource Library

In the 28 years AWAI has been helping aspiring writers, we’ve amassed the largest and most comprehensive learning library for copywriters on planet Earth.

Over 100 self-paced training programs, interactive courses, business-building guides, templates, books, and more…

All of which, if you were to buy them separately through our website, would cost you over $60,000.

As a Circle of Success member — you’re entitled to all of it.

I’m talking about the complete library of AWAI-published writing and career-building products — everything from our advanced Masters Vault… to our niche specialty writing programs… to our client-getting resources… to ways to use AI to speed and enhance your writing, research, and editing… and everything in between…

And not only do you get lifetime access to every self-paced training resource AWAI offers now, but…

You get every NEW self-paced program we add in the future as well!

Members appreciate this “all-access pass” because it’s one more way Circle of Success gives you all the tools you need to be successful.

Circle member Julia Borgini says having access to everything “gives her options” when her clients ask for a project type she might not have written yet…

Julia Borgini

“Having a one-stop shop for all this wonderful information… removes any of the stress I might have when a client asks me for something I haven’t written before. It gives me the confidence to suggest new projects to them… and lets me build up my skill set at my own pace.

Circle member Christina Gillick told us…

Christina Gillick

This single perk gave me immediate confidence to take on any project. I knew, no matter what type of copy a client requested, I could instantly access the program, learn what I needed to know, and deliver impressive results every time.”

Now…

There are far, far too many programs to describe for you in this invitation. But if you’d like to see a partial listing of all the self-paced and business-building resources you’ll be entitled to, click here and a separate window will pop up.

And as a practical matter, there are some resources we regret cannot be included with Circle of Success

They include such “limited participation” offerings as admission to live learning events such as AWAI certification trainings… any programs that offer personal coaching, personal mentoring, copy review, or the AWAI Verified™ designation… as well as resources owned wholly or in part by our strategic partners.

But, as a Circle of Success member, you will receive priority access to these high-level, limited-participation learning events via early “first right of acceptance” invitations.

Of course, access to our entire self-paced training library — as amazing as that is and as much as members love it — is just one small benefit of Circle of Success membership…

What really makes Circle of Success so transformative is all the one-on-one guidance, personalized learning, collaboration, and real-world writing you’ll do.

Here are just some of the major “personalized” experiences you’ll enjoy as a Circle member.

It begins with career guidance…

We’ll Help You Set Achievable Goals, Customize a Curriculum, and Give You a Proven Roadmap to Follow

Your Career Action Plan

The fact is — copywriting offers too many paths and options for a one-size-fits-all approach.

That’s why your Circle of Success journey starts with a Career Action Plan (CAP) call — a one-on-one meeting where we’ll help you define your interests, explore your niche options, and map out a training plan that matches your timeline and objectives.

Whether you’re still exploring… or already have a niche in mind, we’ll help you…

  • identify the writing opportunities that align with your goals…
  • choose the right path based on income, interest, and demand…
  • focus on one high-impact skill at a time so you can start strong, and…
  • stay on track with a clear, efficient plan for long-term growth.

But we don’t stop there…

Personalized Learning Curriculum

No teaching organization anywhere has more programs on copywriting than AWAI. Trying to learn everything can be overwhelming.

That’s why, once we’ve created your Career Action Plan, we’ll zero in on the ONE skill you can learn quickly, so you can be up and running as a paid writer fast.

From there, we’ll handpick from the menu of programs and live learning experiences so you can grow your skills, expand your knowledge, and be even more valuable to your clients.

A Roadmap to Follow

You wouldn’t begin a degree program taking Comp 301 before you’ve completed Comp 101 and 201.

Same applies to copywriting. Efficient and effective learning is all about “skills progression” — mastering one writing technique before moving to the next.

That’s why every Circle of Success member gets a personalized roadmap… a progressive learning path that will get you to your goal as quickly and efficiently as possible.

With a path in place, our efforts turn to teaching and training, starting with…

— NEW — COPYWRITING
ACADEMY

I mentioned Academy earlier…

Simply put, it’s the most comprehensive “soup to nuts” training in becoming a professional, A-level persuasive direct-response copywriter in our industry.

And it comes with an added (and incredibly valuable) perk:

A professional, industry-recognized certification in direct-response copywriting:

Certified Direct Response Copywriter

Because it’s impossible to get a degree in direct-response copywriting from colleges or universities — this is something businesses have long wanted…

A way to know with absolute certainty that the writer they’re considering has done the work… done the writing… and knows their stuff!

And because we’re the world’s oldest and most respected training school for copywriters, they turned to us…

And we created Academy.

As an Academy student, you gain a deep, unshakable foundation in the skill of copywriting and the art of persuasive writing…

You’re tested at every stage so the major copywriting concepts crucial to your success are ingrained in you.

You writea lot.

You get written constructive feedback and direction throughout every level from professional writers… ensuring your final copy is of the highest level possible.

You apply your newly learned skills to the kind of real-world writing projects businesses need…

And in doing so, get to build a varied and professional portfolio of writing under the guiding hands of expert copywriters.

Once you’ve ascended through the levels of core learning, there’s a final exam that will test you on everything you’ve learned…

Along with a Capstone writing project where you get to incorporate your fresh knowledge and burgeoning writing skills into a series of writing projects businesses need most.

Successfully complete both — including an 80% score or better on the exam…

And you’re awarded AWAI’s coveted and industry-recognized Direct Response Copywriter Certification

But it doesn’t stop there…

Copywriter Practicums (The Most Important and Valuable
Experience Any New Writer Can Have!)

Upon graduation you’ll be invited to a series of Academy’s exclusive Copywriter Practicums

Practicums are “simulated” learning environments where you gain more confidence by getting to see and experience what it’s like to be hired by and “work” for an actual client…

Everything from the first “intake” call with the client… to understanding the scope of the project… to the writing project itself… to submitting your drafts…

You’ll know exactly what clients expect of you and how to exude total professionalism — in a safe “can’t fail” environment.

Better still, immediately after graduation you’ll get to participate in not one but THREE Copywriter Practicums — so you gain experience working with clients offering a variety of products and services.

And because each Practicum comes with its own writing assignment (also with professional feedback and review!), you further bolster your ever-growing portfolio of writing.

There are more benefits Copywriting Academy students and alums enjoy — in addition to all your lifetime benefits as a Circle of Success member…

Including an open invitation to our “deep dive” discussions… as well as lifetime access to a Student Contact Center where you can ask our experts anything about writing, clients, and the business of freelance copywriting.

No question, Academy is a huge and consequential learning experience Circle of Success members get to enjoy…

One we’ll be offering to professionals as executive-level training later this year for nearly $6,000.

But through our 28 years of working with writers, we’ve learned that the more access you have to different forms of learning… the better.

Circle of Success has no shortage of opportunities to boost your skills as a writer, including…

Instructor-Led Learning

Since we began introducing writers to copywriting back in 1997, AWAI has led the industry when it comes to revealing the deeper secrets to persuasive writing.

Secrets and techniques like The Rule of One, the Core Concept, the 4-Legged Stool, the Power of Transubstantiation, The Golden Thread, The 4 P’s, The 4 U’s, product transparency, and more. Once you master these elements, you’re unstoppable as a copywriter.

And only Circle of Success members get instructor-led training in all these critical elements.

Feedback and Direction

You can learn skills and write until you’re blue in the face. But you’ll never know if your writing is hitting the mark until an expert tells you it is. Or, if it isn’t — explains clearly where you’re going off track and how to fix it.

Feedback and direction help you grow as a writer. Because Circle of Success is a small group, we’re able to give you this benefit at every stage of the learning process… now and well into your writing career!

Here’s What COS Members Are Saying…

Ongoing Live Events and Workshops — Exclusive to Circle Members

Being a professional means constantly working on your craft…

Mastering new and deeper skills… building your professional network… connecting with peers… brainstorming new ideas… learning how to grow your business… and making sure you have the support you need to succeed.

To help you, we invite leading experts, entrepreneurs, and coaches who share their wisdom and experience with you — top names like Yanik Silver, Laura Belgray, Ilise Benun…

But these Circle-exclusive events aren’t just dry lectures…

Instead, you get to interact with these experts in an intimate setting, practice new skills in real time, and make powerful connections that help propel your dreams forward.

And if for any reason you can’t make these or any meeting or workshop “live,” not to worry…

EVERY Circle of Success live event is recorded in full and available on your Member Page along with any and all supporting material.

In fact, when you join today, you’ll be able to catch up on no fewer than 10 of our most popular meetings covering topics ranging from using the power of AI with David Deutsch… to unleashing your creativity with renowned writer and entrepreneur Yanik Silver… to what every copywriter needs to know about working with copy chiefs with A-level copywriter and copy chief Angie Colee… and more.

So much GREAT information through these “deep dives” into topics you can’t learn about anywhere else…

But live workshops are just one of many, many ongoing benefits of Circle of Success

There’s also…

Quarterly “Get Clients” Power Summits

As much as you love writing, writing isn’t a “hobby” for you…

You’re here to make money.

And that’s where our “Get Clients” Power Summits alone are worth the price of Circle membership!

These fast-paced, online, interactive training events are hyper-focused on teaching you a WRITING SKILL YOU CAN USE in a matter of days — not weeks or months.

A copy project that virtually all companies need… and can be applied to ANY niche of the digital marketing world.

The premise is very simple:

First, we teach you to write a given project type…

Next, we introduce you to, and show you how to land, clients who are looking for the writing skill we just taught you…

So that in just a day or two — you have a skill and a potential client to write for!

And here’s the thing…

Not only do “Get Clients” Power Summits see members land clients and paid writing assignments in record time…

But clients love them because it’s a chance to meet and work with desperately needed new writers.

Like The Unstoppable CEO’s Steven Gordon told us…

“We hired three Circle members at one COS summit. What I love about working with AWAI-trained writers is that they get up to speed fast, write clearly, and can deliver even complex copywriting projects.

“We’ll be hiring three more this year.”

And just like all live events, every minute of every Power Summit is recorded in full, so you can catch up anytime… PLUS take in extremely valuable summits that have already taken place…

Like our recent summit on building your client base with AI, where “freelancer’s best friend” Ilise Benun shows you how to “automate” the client acquisition process so that clients come to you — faster than you ever believed possible…

Or last month’s summit on landing clients at business events — where our own Pam Foster and a long list of guest freelance writers walk you step-by-step through one of the easiest ways to land that first client as a writer…

And then there’s our Content Marketing Magnetism for Freelancers Summit where Ilise helps you create a content marketing strategy for your own business that establishes your credibility as a writer and lets clients know you can handle the task…

Plus over a dozen additional Power Summits that you can catch up on the moment you become a member.

So regular live events and quarterly “Get Clients” Power Summits — two more HUGE benefits of Circle of Success membership.

And it doesn’t stop there…

“Anytime” Copy Reviews

From our exclusive “peer review” process… to being able to ask niche-specific professional copywriters to review your copy… nobody has more free access to personalized copy reviews than Circle of Success members.

Whether you’re working on a blog post, email, e-newsletter, sales letter, web copy, or anything else — either for a client or your own self-promotion effort… AWAI’s copy experts are standing by to help you… whenever you need it.

Project Collaboration

Got a project you really need to “get right”?

Imagine… working with copywriter and AWAI co-founder Paul Hollingshead on developing your project’s Big Idea. Or bringing your letter’s headline and lead into focus with legendary copy chief Sandy Franks — who spent nearly 30 years working with top writers at Agora, the biggest direct mailer in the world.

Whether it’s a spec assignment that could lead to more assignments or your first paid job… your Circle-exclusive project collaboration benefit can be a lifesaver.

And only Circle members get it.

Personal Mentors

Having worked with thousands of writers over the years, nobody understands better than we do the challenges that come with learning and writing.

And although Circle of Success is about community

And our exclusive live events and “Get Clients” Power Summits will keep you connected to fellow writers, top experts, and all the resources and knowledge you’ll need to keep growing and building your skills…

Sometimes, you simply need somebody to talk to one-on-one… an expert who was once in your shoes and understands the journey you’re on.

That’s why we’ve made it our focus to build the biggest team of mentors and coaches — real, active, and working copywriters who write and deal with clients every day…

Writers across all kinds of specialties and niches…

Writers who aren’t long removed from where you are now…

And are willing to step in and help you anytime you need guidance, direction, a “gut check” on something you’ve written, or just a simple question answered…

Without a doubt, your Circle of Success will be your lifeline — so much so, in fact, that many AWAI members form powerful bonds and friendships with their mentors that have lasted years.

With all this…

Mentors to guide you…

Coaches to help you with your copy…

Our all-new Academy training…

Lifetime access to all Circle-exclusive live events and workshops…

Power Summits…

One-on-one mentoring…

Unlimited copy reviews…

Collaboration opportunities with A-level writers…

And, of course, access to over $60,000 worth of skill- and business-building resources…

I can only assume you’re beginning to sense what a life-altering experience Circle of Success can be for any aspiring writer.

But we’re not finished with all the ways we can help you grow and succeed as a writer…

We’ll Make Certain You
Have the Knowledge, Skills, Tools, and
Confidence to Succeed When Clients Call

You will reach a point — probably much sooner than you think — when it’s time to go into the market and start working with real clients.

This is where Circle of Success membership is worth its weight in gold. Because as “one of us,” you can always reach out to us when you need help.

Market Yourself
Like a Pro

Two things you’ll need as a working copywriter: a rock-solid LinkedIn profile and your own website.

We help you build both: a professional website that establishes you as an expert in your niche — and a LinkedIn strategy that not only blows other freelancer profiles out of the water — but can result in more client referrals than you’ll know what to do with!

A Portfolio You’ll Be
Proud to Show

You’ll be writing a ton of copy as a Circle member as you master all the key copy elements.

We’ll show you how to polish those pieces of copy and use them as samples on your website or in a portfolio you can send to prospective clients. That way when someone asks, “What have you written?,” you’ll have actual copy you’ll be proud to show them.

Your Own
“Client Funnel”

One of the best ways to ensure a never-ending flow of new client leads is to build your very own “client funnel.”

Your client funnel is all about establishing yourself as an expert in your niche. You’ll write valuable content… which will lead to a landing page… with a lead generator… and an effective email sequence that prospective clients will love getting.

Sound complicated? It’s not. And besides, we’ll help you build it.

Client “Coaching” and Acquisition

Another powerful benefit your mentors will bring…

New writers dread the day they have to talk to a real client for the first time. With Circle of Success exclusive Client Call Coaching, we’ll help you through it. When you’re ready, just call your mentor to set it up.

We’ll get on the phone or Zoom… talk about the project… what your client expects from you… the questions they’re likely to ask… pricing… and put together a strategy that makes sure your first client interaction goes off without a hitch.

With your first client and new career under way, we’ll continue to be a resource for you, keep you connected, help you grow your business, help you attract bigger and better clients, and make sure you have the up-to-the-minute skills companies need.

Lifelong Partnership of Learning,
Building, Growth, and Professional Enrichment

Free Copywriting and
Client-Focused Bootcamps!

AWAI’s industry-famous Copywriting Success & Getting Clients Bootcamp is the “event of the year” for copywriters.

The experts you learn from, the knowledge you gain, and the contacts you meet can and will have a profound impact on your writing career.

Bootcamp is all about improving your writing… deepening your understanding of the latest marketing principles working in direct response…

And clients — finding them, landing them, meeting them… even getting a chance to write copy for them!

You’ll be “in the room” for dozens of on-point, highly relevant expert presentations and panel events using a dynamic online platform that lets you interact with presenters in real time, “meet up” in private themed rooms, connect with your fellow writers, access training materials and presenter notes in real time, and more.

I could go on and on about the energy and excitement surrounding Bootcamp. But nobody says it better than members who have been there.

Bootcamp Testimonial Screenshots

And of course, as a Circle of Success member, you have unlimited “virtual” access to all Bootcamp events and presentations… free for life!

No question, Bootcamps are a huge part of the Circle experience… and a place where countless careers have taken flight.

But there’s more…

WritersWanted AWAI’s Curated Interactive Job Board

This game changer is a testament to the massive demand for copywriters today…

WritersWanted is AWAI’s exclusive jobs portal, with thousands of hand-curated writing jobs from hundreds of industries…

With new ones being added every day!

WritersWanted.com Website

WritersWanted lets you set up your own account where you can create and post your resume, along with writing samples and AWAI certification details, so companies can find you…

Or simply search the thousands of jobs, with the ability to filter your search to freelance, in-house, full-time, part-time… even by project type — content, email, sales letters, and more.

You can even set alerts so that a direct email is sent to you when a new specific job type is posted on the site.

And — if you find a writing job you’re interested in — simply click the link and contact them directly, attaching a cover letter, your resume, and any samples you want to send!

Again, access to WritersWanted will cost other members hundreds of dollars per year…

But Circle of Success members get FREE access to it for life!

Circle of Success Community

It was Ernest Hemingway who said, “Writing, at its best, is a lonely life.” With all due respect to one of our favorite writers, not so when you’re a Circle of Success member!

With all your “connection” options, whether through Bootcamp, your mentors, or all the collaboration opportunities…

You get the best of both worlds — total freedom to make a great living from anywhere in the world AND full access to a community of writers, experts, clients, and peers who span the globe… including everyone here at AWAI: Rebecca, Paul, Sandy, Pam, me, and our entire team.

As a Circle member — you’ll never be on your own!

Circle of Success Membership
Is Your “Statement” to an
Industry in Need of Writers!

Guidance, training, support, coaching, inspiration, empowerment — you get it all with Circle of Success.

And there are many more benefits I haven’t covered… many more benefits we’re adding all the time.

It’s why Circle of Success members are the writers the industry looks to FIRST when they come to us looking for new writers.

Companies know the high level of training you get… and the support that’s there when you need it.

They’ve seen the success other Circle members have had.

And just as important…

They know you’re serious.

They’re aware of the investment you’ve made in yourself — both in effort and in money.

By joining Circle of Success, you’ve raised your hand… and sent a clear signal to the entire industry that…

You Want This!

It’s All Waiting for You Now!

As you can see — there’s no experience anywhere quite like Circle of Success.

Some have compared it to a “university” for copywriters…

A “PhD” in the art of persuasion.

We think it’s much more than that…

Most universities don’t give you a skill that can start making you money immediately — while you learn…

Universities don’t provide you with lifetime mentors you can contact when you need assistance throughout your writing career.

Universities don’t give you all the time you need to be successful.

Universities don’t help you land clients… and champion your success long after you’ve “graduated.”

And universities don’t continue to be a professional resource for you…

Give you lifetime access to all their resources…

Invite you to endless working summits that help you grow your business… expand your knowledge…

And keep you up to date on the latest developments in your field.

Circle of Success gives you all of it — and more.

That’s why I’m so excited to invite you into our small, very special group today.

If you love to write…

If you’re motivated to succeed…

If you commit to putting the experts and the resources to work for you as a Circle of Success member…

If you take full advantage of AWAI’s access to the writers, influencers, and companies that can advance your career…

If you let your mentors guide and motivate you…

Circle of Success will ensure that you achieve your goals as a writer.

We’ve had far too many successful members benefit from Circle of Success to believe otherwise.

Like Jon, who replaced his engineer’s salary as an A-level copywriter and copy chief…

Like Mindy McHorse, who was able to escape her cubicle where she was buried in spreadsheets all day — and now earns six figures writing fun copy while still being able to manage her kids’ busy schedules…

Like Rachael Gray, who discovered AWAI while still in college… took full advantage of her Circle of Success benefits… and in her first year, earned more than she ever expected to make as a new college grad working a “real job”…

Like Cindy Cyr, who, freed from her 9–5 job, was able to “write on the road” and maintain homes in Los Angeles, California and Jacksonville Beach, Florida, as her teenage son was launching his music career…

Like Steve Maurer, the electrician at a food processing plant who went from making $25 an hour fixing machines… to $200 an hour writing about them for the B2B industry…

Like Dave Sharpe, the web specialist I told you about earlier who landed a whale of a new corporate client… on top of what he currently bills for his web-writing work…

And the hundreds of other AWAI members who have stepped up to Circle of Success and told us how their careers have soared as a result.

I love this note Circle member Sharlet Brennan sent Rebecca Matter about how her membership helped her become a successful business-to-business (B2B) writer:

Sharlet Brennan

“I’ve grown my business so far with one strategy: Do what AWAI tells me to do! During my first year as a COS member, I studied formulas and tips from the Masters every night. The next day, I applied what I learned to my client work.

“My client content writing ranked at the top of industry websites… I say this not to brag — but it shows beautifully that AWAI delivers… even for new writers!”

As these writers and countless others will attest, you’ll be amazed at how quickly things move once you come on board… and decide “it’s time!”

Your Ascension Begins Immediately!

As a new Circle of Success member, you can begin your ascent the instant you’re ready.

In no time, you can have your Career Action Plan call with one of our guidance experts. They’ll help you put a plan in place and give you a learning path to follow.

And then, you’ll be motivated to take one small step forward — by us, by your mentor, by your peers, by marketers waiting to look at your work, by the coaches you’ll work with.

But your one-on-one experiences don’t end there.

You’ll have your mentors…

You’ll have your support system — your very own “Rolodex” of people you can call when you need help.

If you like, you can start right way on Academy, where you’ll gain that all-important persuasive writing foundation.

You’ll write.

You’ll get feedback.

You’ll learn how to land that all-important first client in your chosen niche.

And when you need help with your project — simply ask your mentor to hook you up with a writing professional you can collaborate with.

It’s the very best way to learn.

Day by day, week by week, month by month… your knowledge and confidence will grow.

You will no longer struggle with the letter-writing process.

The words and powerful ideas will simply come to you…

You’ll know instinctively how to grab your reader’s attention… how to write in a conversational yet convincing tone…

You’ll know how to gain your reader’s trust… how to build excitement and acceptance with every paragraph… and, most importantly, have your prospect wanting to buy what you’re selling long before the letter ends.

And, while you’re perfecting the writing process, you’ll be learning the “business” side of things…

Marketing…

Where the opportunities are…

Who the biggest (and highest-paying) clients are…

What they expect of you… and how to work with them in the most professional manner.

Through it all, you’ll be building up a contact list of friends, writers, marketers, and other business associates who can have a profound impact on your writing career.

You’ll have a level of access to Rebecca, Paul, Sandy, Pam, me, and others here at AWAI that we can’t possibly give to the tens of thousands of regular AWAI members.

You’ll be learning from — and getting to know — some of the biggest names in our industry…

Many are million-dollar copywriters… who routinely write sales letters that generate millions of dollars in sales for multimillion-dollar companies…

And even more importantly…

They’ll get to know you.

Not just as “writers”…

But also as friends, colleagues, and — one day very soon — fellow professionals.

You can search the globe, but you won’t find a program that’s minted more A-level copywriters than Circle of Success.

That’s why we’re looking for a handful of serious people who want to continue this tradition — and are ready to quickly move their writing careers forward.

And given that you’ve taken steps to learn and grow as a copywriter by joining AWAI… you’ve demonstrated to us and the industry that you are serious

Ours Is a Multi-Trillion-Dollar, Growing Industry 100% Reliant on People Who Can Write!

You’ll come to see copywriting as the in-demand, financially valuable skill that it truly is…

As a student of our industry, you see that copy is everywhere — websites, blogs, social media, email, search engines, sales promotions…

And you immediately grasp why companies today simply can’t compete in this new era of digital marketing without a never-ending stream of new copy and content!

You hear about AI coming down the pike, but you’ll experience firsthand what writers and marketers know, as well as the entire industry:

It’s powerful technology that will help you write, research, and generate ideas faster… but it cannot share stories, convey empathy, or know your reader or your client’s product like a skilled copywriter can…

And, like us, you’ll understand that the copywriters who thrive in this new era of writing will be those who know how to put the “enhanced search” powers of AI to work for them… not the other way around…

As a Circle of Success member, you’ll be at the forefront of it all!

And then there’s the money.

Copywriting (and Circle of Success)
Can Take You ANYWHERE You Want to Go!

There are so many options for writers these days…

Opportunities where skilled writers earn $3,000, $4,000, $5,000 per month retainers per client — just to write content, write emails, or manage a company’s social media platforms.

In the B2B world, writers can make a six-figure living telling “success” stories and explaining how products work!

We’ve even had Circle members enter the high-paying financial and health publishing fields… and earn more from a single sales letter than most people earn in a year!

Others have gone on to use their copywriting skills and marketing knowledge to launch their own businesses…

From Christina Gillick’s online earring business that lets her and her husband enjoy the leisurely lifestyle they’ve always dreamed about…

To writers like Mike Ward, who used his writing and business skills to launch a publishing company with $300 million in annual sales… and recently retired a multimillionaire…

That’s an extreme, of course…

But now, with AI, there’s new opportunity…

Where you can step in as the guide and writer so many smaller and medium-sized companies — businesses not large enough to have their own marketing team — need to drive sales and growth…

With a skill AWAI will be teaching going forward.

What Happens When
You Say “Yes” Today

So, right now, I think it’s important to stop and talk honestly for a moment about what you’re really saying “yes” to when you join Circle of Success today…

And why this invitation is such a smart (and rare) move to make at this exact point in your copywriting journey.

Because if you’ve read this far, you already know what Circle of Success is.

You know it gives you the most complete education in persuasive writing available anywhere…

Training you can apply to any niche, any project, any client, at any stage of your career.

You know it comes with personalized mentorship, expert feedback, one-on-one planning, live training, full access to Academy, and the support of an entire community of professional writers and experts who care deeply about your success.

But when you say “yes” today, you’re saying yes to something bigger.

You’re saying “yes” to never again wondering what your next step should be.

“Yes” to getting paid for your writing (and knowledge) sooner.

“Yes” to turning your skills into real income and long-term opportunity.

“Yes” to thinking like a professional, acting like a professional, and being treated like one by the clients you serve.

“Yes” to having everything you need — resources, roadmaps, people, and support — in one place, for life.

And you’re saying “yes” at a moment we believe is one of the most important in your entire journey.

Because right now, you’re at that crucial pivot point we talked about earlier.

You’ve moved beyond curiosity.

You’re taking action.

You’re serious about a career as an elite copywriter — equipped to deliver exactly what businesses need in this important moment.

And that’s why we’re inviting you to join under such generous and opportunity-rich terms.

Your Most Affordable
Path to Mastery Starts Here

Here’s what that looks like:

First, the price for lifetime membership in Circle of Success for AWAI members is normally $17,500.

That includes access to everything AWAI has to offer — all self-paced programs, Copywriting Academy, mentorship, coaching, community, and live training, and every resource we add going forward…

For life.

Your IMMEDIATE $2,500 Discount…

But because you joined us for our “Copywriting in the AI Era” event, we’re taking $2,500 off immediately.

That brings your total to $15,000.

And then we’re doing something even more meaningful — something many of our most successful writers have taken advantage of in the past:

Your Full Spending Credit
(All the Way Back to June 1, 2024)

We’re applying a FULL CREDIT for everything you’ve spent with AWAI in the past 12 months toward that total… all the way back to June 1, 2024.

Every program, every live event, every course, every certification counts — no caps, no exclusions, no exceptions…

Even if what you’ve spent equals the full cost of Circle membership, we’ll honor it.

It’s our way of rewarding you for the momentum you’ve built… and making this next step a no-brainer.

And we won’t bicker over a few days…

If you attended a premium event last May or even April — that’s in play too.

If you’re ready to transform your writing, we’ll do everything in our power to help you.

Get Started Today
(with FULL ACCESS)
for Just $995

And to make it even easier, you don’t have to pay the full price of membership today…

You can get started today for just $995.

That’s not a “trial access” offer — it gets you access to EVERYTHING, immediately

Our entire library, invitations to live events, community, mentors, coaching, copy feedback, collaborations, your spot secured at Bootcamp, Town Halls, and more…

ALL the full benefits of Circle of Success membership.

No-Fee, No-Interest Payment Plan (or Pay in Full and Save More)

Whatever your balance is after your credits and discount can be divided into 24 easy, interest-free payments.

Or, if you prefer to pay in full, you’ll save another $1,000.

Then, once you join, you’ll have 30 full days to explore everything Circle of Success has to offer — including your Career Action Plan call and your personalized plan.

If you ultimately decide it’s not for you, we’ll apply every penny you paid as a credit toward any AWAI program or training in the future.

No Contracts, No Obligation…

And even after your 30-day trial…

You’re never locked in.

There are no contracts.

No long-term commitments.

No obligation to stay a member whatsoever.

You can pause or cancel your membership at any time, and we’ll stop your payments going forward.

For a serious writer, there’s truly no risk.

So, that’s the deal… the “professional investment” side of Circle of Success.

A Future with More
Possibility than Ever

But there is something very real on the other side of this decision…

Something that comes with knowing you have the full weight of AWAI behind you — and an army of experts you can lean on for advice and support anytime you need it.

That means…

  • a stronger foundation — built on proven principles, expert feedback, and real-world experience that separates working writers from dabblers.
  • faster momentum — because you’ll always know your next step and have the skills, support, and confidence to take it.
  • greater clarity — about your niche, your goals, your clients, and your path forward, so you can stop second-guessing and start moving with purpose.
  • unshakable confidence — the kind that comes from knowing you’ve been trained and mentored by the best in the business, and you’re ready to deliver.
  • real control over your future — where your writing gives you the freedom to work when, where, and with whom you want… with no limits on your income or lifestyle.

Because Circle of Success is not about the “stuff” — it’s about the intangibles.

It’s about this rare pivotal moment…

The kind that shows up quietly but has the power to change everything.

You’ve already done the hard part:

You’ve started.

You’ve taken action.

You’ve invested time, energy, and money to learn about the opportunity and start building your skills.

You’ve shown up for yourself.

Now the question is whether you’re ready to take that next, defining step…

To commit fully to the future you see for yourself.

A future where your writing opens doors.

Where clients pay you well — and respect you — for your ideas and the value you bring.

Copywriting, remember, is a financially valuable skill that can serve and reward you for a lifetime…

It’s a career that’s all yours…

Where you can work from anywhere, on your terms, without limits on what you earn or how you live.

Where you're constantly growing, creating, contributing — and enjoying the kind of freedom and control most people only dream about.

That’s exactly the kind of life Circle of Success is designed to help you build… faster, with less guesswork, more guidance, and a community that’s got your back the whole way.

If that’s the kind of future you want…

And you’re ready to build it with the full support of people who’ve helped hundreds of writers do the same…

Then now’s your moment.
