If you weren't able to join us for Bootcamp yesterday because of the storm, it's all recorded for you. And, wow … it was a BIG day … so I hope you'll catch up on the replays as soon as you're able. The whole event was off the charts. (Dare I say "Best Bootcamp Ever"???) From superstar Neil Patel's opening Keynote to the inspirational close by legendary Bob Bly, the days were jam-packed with insights about what's working right now. The overall message? Quality writing wins. More than ever, people are hungry for quality information. Every day, there are millions of searches online done by people who are looking to solve a problem. You could be the one to help them. Because what YOU already know is amazingly valuable. Your ideas, your experiences, your empathy … it's all needed now more than ever. So this week, I'm going to issue a challenge … To SHARE the information you already possess inside by writing a course for the nearly $500-million-a-day e-learning market. You don't have to be a world-renowned authority to do this … because if you've solved a real problem or challenge at any point in your life … you know A LOT about how to tackle it. You can take all the knowledge you had to gain through trial and error and help people who are experiencing that very problem right now. And they're more than willing to pay money for a course that saves them time scouring the internet for answers and gives them a proven path to solving that problem or challenge. All you need to do is grab our self-guided training, [The Course Creator's Playbook](. We've heavily discounted it today, so you can jump in this weekend. You'll learn how to find your profitable course idea and plan out and create your course. And then … You'll learn how to get it ready for people to buy … and how to build a "sales machine" for your course that brings in orders mostly on autopilot. See where I'm going with this? #clientlesswritingbusiness [Find the details here.]( And then stay tuned for what we'll be doing to help you even more with your course … It involves promoting it once you're done! 🙌 Hope you're having a great Saturday, Katie Yeakle Co-Founder & Executive Director AWAI What's Trending … ⚡Flash Sale!

Our industry lives and dies by GREAT sales copy. And, as a writer, you can be the one to wield that power — and help companies grow their sales exponentially through the letters you write for them! Join us on Friday at noon ET for a LIVE TRAINING EVENT with legendary copy chief Sandy Franks. She'll reveal the 10 reasons why mastering sales-letter writing is crucial for every writer (regardless of niche), how it can skyrocket your career … And, why sales letters are nowhere near as "scary" to learn and master as you might think! In fact, one of the things Sandy is known for as a copy chief is her ability to "reverse engineer" her competition's record-breaking controls. Figuring out what makes those letters "tick" — so she can use those same techniques herself … teach them to her copy team … And, now, she's going to show you how to do it, too! She's going to "deconstruct" a successful sales letter LIVE — revealing the secrets that make it effective and showing you how simple it can be to apply these techniques in your own writing. Very few writers know her secrets for doing this … but now you'll be one of them. This event is 100% free to attend. All we ask is that you [sign up]( so we can send you access instructions. [See you Friday!]( Enjoy Freedom-Filled Living Through Well-Paid Writing What Is Your Time Worth? According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the top 10 highest-earning professions are all in the medical field … And they all make over $100 per hour on average. Sounds like a dream, right? But doctors spend years in training before they can start earning those kinds of wages … As much as 15 years, between undergrad work, medical school, and residency. Don't forget about the expenses. Medical school alone can cost $200,000 or more. Or the 60-hour workweeks and irregular hours. And of course, there's the stress … But did you know … There are writers who earn just as much — if not more — without all the stress (and with a whole lot more freedom)? They set their own hours … choose the projects they want to work on … and have clients that love them. Writers like Mindy, for example. Today, she lives a life that even her doctor friends envy … working part-time from home! Instead of spending all day commuting to an office job she hated, she gets to spend every day of her life with her four beautiful children … She is just one of the many, many writers who have discovered the joy of living a life that is worth their time. If you would like to enjoy the same freedom and high pay writers like Mindy do, [read more here]( about her journey from being trapped in an "eight-hour prison" building boring spreadsheets to living the life of her dreams.
