Dear NAWW Member,

And with all of these tools at your side, it will never be easier to find and get all the copywriting clients you deserve in 2008 and beyond…

… and start earning generous copywriting fees.

Let me explain.

"I have made about $50,000 in copywriting fees. I feel a debt of gratitude toward you!"

Over the past two decades, I have invested literally tens of thousands of dollars – and hundreds and hundreds of hours – in testing to discover the methods that really work in getting clients.

You Can “Sit In” On My Sold-Out New York Workshop

Each and every month for the next year,
AWAI and I will keep you up to date on the latest trends

Although there are some self-marketing tactics that will always stand the test of time… like how to generate interest on the telephone… how to get leads at networking events… and how to create an effective self-marketing print brochure...

… there are other aspects of self-marketing that change quickly with the times. Who ever heard of marketing your freelance business on MySpace, YouTube, or Facebook a few years ago? Or posting videos to promote your copywriting services on your own blog? Or sending your business card and a brief bio to a prospect via Bluetooth from your PDA or smart phone?

Things change quickly in this business. New methods and strategies of marketing become effective. Older methods die out. That’s why it’s important to stay on top of things… to know what’s working.

We want to ensure you’ve got your finger on the pulse of what today’s marketing trends are.

That’s why – each and every month for the next 12 months – you’ll receive all-new tools that you can use right away to get copywriting clients in 2008.

Each month, we’ll get in touch with you with one of the following resources:

You can rest assured that everything you receive will be completely up to date and relevant for today’s market.

In other words, you’ll get everything you need to find, get, and keep your dream copywriting clients – month after month – for 2008 and beyond.

"After listening to Bob Bly's teleconference on Writing for the Consumer Newsletter Market, I contacted Sandy Franks, who was one of the guests on the call.

The result was an opportunity to do a renewal letter… which I said I would write at no cost. Several days after I submitted the renewal copy, Sandy asked me to write a control package for one of her other products… at a new writer's fee of $3,500!

So my investment of $79 in the teleconference returned, I think this is right, over 4,000%!

Not bad… I would encourage anyone to give it a try… it really wasn't that hard, and I've already been told that if a second project is awarded, the fee moves to $5,000 with royalties."

Write, stay home, and make $100,000 a year or more

As an AWAI member, you already know the many advantages – money, self-employment, working from home, no commuting, flexible hours – that the freelance copywriting life can give you.

So I won’t waste your time talking about them again here.

But what I do want to tell you is that this is a career with “legs.”

After 25 years as a copywriter, I still love what I’m doing. I literally jump out of bed each day, because I can’t wait to get to my office, turn on my PC, and start on my various copywriting projects.

And there are a lot of extra “perks” I’ve enjoyed – and you may too – that AWAI doesn’t talk about when you join:

Listen. I’m not a best-selling author or the world’s top copywriter. But despite that, I earn more than $600,000 a year from my freelance writing.

One copywriter I trained, living in an airy log cabin in the bucolic New Hampshire woods, earns over $300,000 helping New England construction companies market their services.

More freelance writers than I can count have hit and exceeded the $100,000 a year mark using the methods I shared with them. In a recent survey, 22% reported income of $100,000 a year or more.

And several freelance copywriters I know have even hit the $1 million a year mark.

You may make more. You may make less.

But no matter what, I can virtually assure you of earning a great living as a freelance copywriter when you follow the advice I give you in Bob Bly's Getting and Keeping Great Clients.

Effective Self-Marketing Can Help You Land Major Copywriting Gigs… EVEN IF YOU’RE A BEGINNER!

At the tender age of 23, AWAI member Cathy Cairns was a virtual nobody in the copywriting world.

She had never written a complete sales letter before.

No experience. No track record. Not even a college education.

And she was almost flat broke.

Yet none of this stopped her from trying to get her first paid copywriting gig with direct-marketing powerhouse Nightingale-Conant…

Quite an audacious goal, to say the least.

After all, Nightingale-Conant raked in a massive $50 million in revenues in 2005 – and is widely considered one of the most prestigious copywriting clients in the world… even amongst well-established six-figure freelance copywriters.

That’s why Cathy had to do something impressive… something different…

… something really, really special.

She had to make herself stand out in such a way that any company in the world that hired freelance copywriters would want to speak with her immediately and consider her for work…

… regardless of her lack of professional copywriting experience.

So Cathy created an unusual yet powerful self-marketing campaign to get the undivided attention of the decision maker who hires freelance copywriters at Nightingale-Conant…

… and the campaign worked like a charm.

In fact, it worked so well that Cathy didn’t even have to wait very long to get a positive response.

She soon got a phone message from Nightingale-Conant’s creative director… who was so thoroughly impressed with Cathy’s self-marketing efforts that she went right ahead and gave Cathy her first of many well-paid assignments.

Now Cathy’s considered one of Nightingale-Conant’s top writers… and she’s thoroughly enjoying the freedom, wealth, and independence of the copywriter’s lifestyle.

And now, with Bob Bly's Getting and Keeping Great Clients,you’ll have complete access – for the next 12 months – to all the same tools, techniques, tactics, and strategies that Cathy used to land her dream client…
