Katie Yeakle Co-Founder & Executive Director AWAI What's Trending … Kick Off the New Year with This Lucrative, Formula-Based, "No-Selling" Writing Project We're starting the New Year with BIG news coming this week at AWAI … And as usual, loyal readers of Week in Review are the first to know! It has to do with a writing opportunity a lot of AWAI members ask about … want to know more about … and once they learn about it, can't wait to go "all-in." Why? Many reasons, but here are some of the big ones: #1: There's ZERO direct selling — which means writers are NOT judged by how much money their sales letter makes. #2: There's huge prestige — this is a space of the marketing world where writers are seen and treated as the true experts and professionals they are … #3: The pay is amazing — writers here can earn as much as $8,000 for a 5 to 12 page "research report." That's anywhere from $500 to $1,000 per page — nearly 40 times other content! #4: Huge demand — literally hundreds of thousands of companies need these "research reports," yet it's a niche most copywriters overlook (which is why many writers who are in this niche have six, nine, or even twelve month waiting lists for their services!). Now, just to be clear … it's not like AWAI hasn't shown writers the path to this skill in the past … It's just that to get the kind of detailed training needed, you would have had to spend as much as $2,500. That changes this week … Not only are we offering an up-to-the-minute training program that teaches you EVERYTHING you need to know about this enormous writing opportunity … You'll be able to claim it at special pricing you're going to love! But like I said, as a loyal Week in Review reader — you don't have to wait. [Find out all about it here …]( And if you love what you see, you can claim it now … and get a huge jump on everyone else when it comes to learning this lucrative, no-selling writing skill!

Get Started Copyediting for $59.40 You'll Get Instant Access to Everything You might have noticed that we spent this past week talking all about copyediting in celebration of our comprehensive Certification training … And how being a copyeditor turns you into a valuable "secret weapon" for any client … … just by turning their good copy into GREAT copy.

Copyeditors are worth their weight in gold … They make sure everything turned in by a writer is clear, easy to read, and correct. And that leads to better results, more clicks, and increased sales. And even though copyediting is easier than writing copy from scratch, you still make great money (in far less time!). So whether you're searching for a lower-stress way to live the writer's life … Or you want to get your foot in the door with clients you hope to write copy and content for some day … Copyediting can help you get there.
