[AWAI]( WEEK IN REVIEW October 31 – November 4, 2022 --------------------------------------------------------------- You're Hearing About This First … Hi {NAME}, A perk of catching up like we do here on Saturday mornings is that you often get "first dibs" on new programs before we introduce them to the full membership. That's the case this morning … As you've been hearing from all our experts, content is a huge part of the marketing strategy of most businesses … But with more content flooding the internet than ever, their content has to stand out from the competition … … and get found by the right prospects and customers, at the right time. In other words, these businesses need "discoverable content." Which means they need a writer who can write content that's helpful … unique … thorough … and provides the BEST answers to questions people are searching for. This is so critical to a company's success that they're happy to pay writers $250 to $1,000 per page to write content that gets found easily on Google. This has opened up a massive opportunity for writers … Especially since 56% of new content jobs now require this skill, according to tech firm Conductor. That's why I'm so excited to share with you in this exclusive Week in Review "sneak peek" a brand-new self-paced program we've created … It teaches the simple strategies and formulas that will help you write an ongoing stream of "discoverable content" that your clients — and Google — will love. The program officially launches in a few days … [But you can get a jump on it right here.]( Hope you're having a great Saturday, Katie P.S.
