Save lives and earn a doctor’s income, too.

It’s all in an afternoon’s work
when you’re a health copywriter…

---

It's probably hard to imagine that your copy can save a life. That's why I want to tell you about Ralph Snyder.

A leukemia sufferer, his doctors said he had the worst case they'd seen in 20 years. One afternoon he found a letter in his mailbox from the Health Sciences Institute. Inside was information on a little-known herbal cancer fighter.

Ralph began taking it, and almost immediately his blood counts improved. Soon he'd gained back 80 pounds and his oncologists were declaring him cancer-free – "The Miracle Man" they called him!

Now consider this… the letter that saved Ralph's life could have easily been written by you.

You can help people grow healthy and happy while earning just as much as (if not more than) most doctors. But instead of their long stressful hours, you'll enjoy the wonderful freedom of a copywriter's lifestyle.

Earn $8,000+ per letter while
helping others enjoy longer, healthier lives!

Maybe you've always assumed the financial arena is the place for "big money" jobs. You're right.

But it's important for you to know that health writers are quietly banking six-figure paydays, too. In fact, they're routinely earning $8,000, $15,000, even $25,000 plus royalties for a single direct-mail package!

And there's simply no bigger satisfaction than knowing you're educating others on how to live longer, more energetic lives.

I'm Katie Yeakle, AWAI's Executive Director, and I'm writing to you today to show you how you can use your copywriting skills in one of the most satisfying and lucrative direct-mail sectors there is – the health market.

Cash in on the $162 BILLION supplement industry

Everywhere you look, there's talk about how to get healthier. How to fight cancer. How to lose weight. How to beat the flu. And as more experts point to nutrition as the solution, demand for dietary supplements is skyrocketing. In fact, global need has already topped $162 billion a year!

And that's good news for you. Supplement marketers are kicking up their product development and marketing budgets. In other words there are considerably more, higher paying copywriting jobs for you to choose from in the mail and online than ever before.

For example, a recent nutritional product expo in Anaheim, California, brought together more than 2,600 companies marketing their vitamins, minerals, herbs, sports nutrition formulas and other supplements. And each one is your potential client. They all need copy such as sales letters, brochures, space ads, e-promotions and web content on a regular basis.

And this is just a fraction of the supplement companies out there who are willing to pay top dollar for your skills.

Add another $30 BILLION
a year for alternative therapies

Twenty years ago, most of us had never even heard of acupuncture! But now, this "alternative" therapy and others like it are becoming… well, mainstream.

Just consider that more than half of all Americans are using them. And they're spending a great deal of money – a whopping $30 billion a year – for treatments like acupuncture, yoga, massage and homeopathic therapies. And the market's still growing…

According to Debra Stanley, a list broker (someone who brokers lists of names for mail and email marketing), "There are more than 5 million names in the universe of lists in the alternative health market. That's up considerably from even five years ago, and that's because of the increased awareness and openness of Americans to alternative versus conventional medicine."

It's easy to see how there's a real need for more sales copy for the books and newsletters that health information marketers are selling to these buyers. In fact, a single health information marketer may regularly mail 200,000 pieces of direct mail a month and spend at least $100,000 a year paying freelance writers just like you!

Plus, pets need help staying healthy, too

Even pet owners around the country are buying specialty health products for their dogs, cats, horses and other animals to the tune of $960 million a year. Joint supplements for dogs and vitamins for cats are among today's top sellers. And as competition grows, pet supplement companies are also willing to pay handsomely for copy that works.

As a new health writer you can earn anywhere from $2,500 to $8,000 per letter in any of these areas. And if your copy sells, the vast majority of marketers will have no problem paying you a royalty on top of that. (Think about this: make 3¢ a name for a 200,000 piece mailing, and that's an extra $6,000 in your pocket!)

As you get more experienced, you can charge even more. Remember, top health copywriters can easily make $25,000 for one direct-mail package… plus royalties!

Hopefully you're starting to realize that as a health writer you can reach your financial goals sooner than you may have thought. Plus, you'll take pleasure in knowing you're doing important work to help others.

But writing health copy is satisfying in another way, too…

Join what many describe as the
most interesting, fast-paced market around

New medical discoveries are being made around the world every single day. And as a health writer, you get inside information on them… in many cases, before most doctors do.

For instance, you may learn how a root used for centuries by African Shamans contains natural compounds that fight modern day diseases like diabetes. Or how simple vitamins and minerals can make cancer patients feel better during chemotherapy, even heal more quickly. Even find out about brand-new medical screening tests for everything from heart disease to Alzheimer's disease.

Health writers are always hearing exciting stories, often from the very scientists and patients who are making health history!

What's more, everything you learn can help improve your own health and that of your family and friends, too. It's no wonder health copywriters quickly earn the respect of their peers.

If you're interested in bringing home a solid six figures a year and having a great deal of job satisfaction, you're in luck. Right now is a great time to break into the field of health copywriting… 

"Know any good health copywriters?
I need one now!"

(Overheard from leading health marketer at AWAI's Bootcamp 2006)

During the Job Fair at AWAI's annual FastTrack to Copywriting Success Bootcamp, I couldn't help but notice how many health marketers were searching for new copywriters. In fact, this past year, I heard more than one big name asking around.

Since these companies are developing new products to keep up with the need for nutritional supplements, alternative health newsletters and books, they're in constant want of writers who understand the health market. Alternative Health Consultant Kevin Finn agrees:

"There is a huge void in the market for good alternative health copywriters. I talk with at least a dozen clients on a monthly basis that tell me they're looking for more alternative health copywriters."

In fact, large companies like Agora Health often book their freelance writers months in advance to ensure they'll get their copy when they want it! That's great news for you. Not only are health marketers searching for fresh new talent, but with a little knowledge, you can very quickly become in demand and enjoy a steady stream of well-paying jobs.

Getting your foot in the door to a highly paid copywriting career is easier than ever before…

The health market has changed a lot since we first developed AWAI's Secrets of Writing for the Health Market program back in 2003. And after listening to some of today's top health writers, we realized that we could do even more to help members like you get established in this lucrative niche.
