[AWAI]( WEEK IN REVIEW --------------------------------------------------------------- January 3 – 7, 2022 Hi {NAME}, If you're looking for the PERFECT niche to start your writing career … B2B is it. And as a Week in Review reader, you're hearing about this first … For the next few days, you can get 50% off our best-selling program that will show you the ropes — Steve Slaunwhite's Modern B2B Copywriting program. [Click here to get started and SAVE 50% instantly!]( B2B (Business-to-Business) is the perfect niche for new writers for three very important reasons: - There's no "hard sell" writing. Nor is it highly "technical." Good B2B writing is conversational, informative … and much easier to write than materials for the highly competitive B2C market. - There's massive demand for skilled B2B writers. In addition to its vast size, B2B is "late to the party" when it comes to marketing online — so a lot of companies need help getting up to speed. - Chances are, you're "prequalified"! If you've had any experience in any industry — you have knowledge and insights that can make you a great B2B writer for that industry! This spells a massive opportunity for you as a writer.

If you want to get paid to write … But haven't "gotten into the game" yet, it's time to change that once and for all. For the last 18 months, we've been running a little "launch" experiment. Or rather, we thought it would be little, but it turned out to be HUGE. We proved that we could take any writer — even one with zero experience — and get them up and launched as a professional writer … in just five days. Check out some of our "test subjects" … EG Orren: Just by implementing a FEW golden nuggets from the live calls, as I learned them, I got headhunted, a business collaboration offer, and not only ONE new potential client "locally" but TWO in Europe … I accidentally "launched" BEFORE the launch! Juanita Davis: I would not have launched without AWAI! You guys are amazing, I took lots of notes, was given support and validation that I can do this! Alison Ross: My biggest takeaway is that I CAN do this. I've been trying, unsuccessfully, to get freelance writing jobs after I lost my live-sound gig due to COVID. After countless rejections, I began to think that maybe I just wasn't good enough or that I couldn't do it without the right credentials. But no! You all taught me that I CAN do this and showed me the steps I had been missing! Thank you! Now it's your turn … Join our FIRST group of 2022!
