[AWAI]( WEEK IN REVIEW August 22 – 26, 2022 --------------------------------------------------------------- Short, Simple, Fun, AND Lucrative — You'll Love These Writing Projects Don't Miss the Special Launch Price — Get 80% Off Our Brand-New Program! Hi {NAME}, Short, simple, fun, and lucrative? That's the kind of writing project I want to be sure is on your radar … Especially since demand in this area is absolutely skyrocketing! According to HubSpot, businesses will spend more in 2022 on this particular type of short content than any other format. Most are paying $200 to $500 per scripted minute (which is only about 150 words worth of content). But they're not complaining about paying so much for so little … They want more, and more, and more of this content … in fact, the average business wants 18 per month. What am I talking about? Videos! Short videos — most under two minutes — have become an essential part of modern marketing. You see them pop up on website homepages, on social media sites, on YouTube, as a part of internal training programs … they're everywhere. And marketers say they'd like to use more videos, but they don't have anyone to write their video scripts. That's right — behind every short video is a script. Which means behind every video is a writer … a writer who potentially collected $200 to $500 for their little script. Want to join them? It's easier than you might imagine. But don't just take my word for it — Rebecca Matter and Pam Foster have put together a short demonstration of what it takes to create a 60-second video script. So you can quickly see for yourself if this fun and lucrative type of short-form writing is for you. [Click here to check out their demonstration now.]( Hope you're having a great Saturday!
