Writing Contest, Flash Sale, and upcoming events from AWAI

[AWAI]( WEEK IN REVIEW --------------------------------------------------------------- June 6 – 10, 2022 Hi {NAME}, If you want access to over 1,000 new potential writing clients per week … you're going to want to learn more about this … Here's the scoop — We're witnessing a seismic shift right now that promises to impact copywriters, marketers, and entire industries. (You can read the full report Rebecca prepared for you where she discusses all the details, by [clicking here](.) And because so many companies are starting to adapt, we're seeing over 1,000 prospective clients enter this space! That's over 50,000 — PER YEAR. Every single one of them is a potential client who'd be happy to hire a writer who understands this shift. Because that's the key — you've got to understand this space, inside and out. These potential clients desperately need a writer who: a) Understands how to write persuasively, with empathy for the prospect and audience, and how to move people to action. b) Gets the culture, the community, the lingo, and more that's being created by this massive change. If you can do those two things … these clients are happy to pay you fees of $500 … $1,000 … even $3,000 for short, simple projects that are a blast to write … Because a lot of the writing lends itself to writing stories … creating new characters … developing the "lore" around a particular project … designing a story arc … and more. Oh — and one last thing … Those 1,000 prospective clients that are coming onboard each week? That doesn't include MAJOR companies that are entering the space right now, like Google, Microsoft, Disney, Samsung, Nike, Walmart, Facebook, McDonald's, and many others! How's that for a dream client list? And we're just getting started! All this to say — Specializing in this [new arena]( is wide open for you. There's basically zero competition. And hundreds of thousands — if not millions — of prospective clients who could use your help right now … It's a perfect recipe for a thriving writing business that helps you become financially free. This opportunity is unlike anything we've ever talked about before. Want to learn more? [Click here for all the details.]( Hope you're having a great Saturday!
