[AWAI]( WEEK IN REVIEW October 3 – 7, 2022 --------------------------------------------------------------- FREE Training: The New Standard for All Copywriting! Hi {NAME}, One of the MANY things we learned at Bootcamp this week is having a great product isn't enough for businesses anymore. Neither is having a great offer. With more competition online than ever before, any business that's going to thrive needs to provide a great EXPERIENCE. That's why UX — or User Experience — copywriting is quickly becoming the standard businesses require of ALL their copy and content. Now, don't worry if you're not too sure what UX copywriting is all about. We're holding a free live training session on Wednesday at 12 p.m. ET. AWAI President Rebecca Matter will be joined by 19-year UX copywriting veteran Heather Robson to break down the whole opportunity … Including what UX copywriting entails … The clients you can work with (HINT — all companies need this 😉) … What types of projects you'll write … Why it's a great fit for you if you don't love the idea of selling — or of having to start every project from a blank page … And much, much more. Heather will even do a live demonstration, where she'll transform some run-of-the-mill copy into much more engaging, user-friendly copy — so you can see firsthand how fun and easy this type of writing is! This is an opportunity for writers. An amazing opportunity. And it's one every copywriter should check out so you don't get left behind. [You'll find all the details about this free training here.]( I hope we'll see you there on Wednesday. Have a great weekend! Katie P.S. Bootcamp was OFF THE CHARTS.
