Dear Reader

I used to clean filthy toilet stalls on Bourbon Street for $5.50 an hour. At 29 years of age, no less.

Nothing to brag about, I know…

As an “adult,” I’ve washed dishes… sold pizza slices… bussed tables… hawked kitchen knives door-to-door… rented beach chairs and umbrellas to hordes of demanding tourists… phoned over 500 homes at dinnertime and asked local residents if they’d be interested in taking a “no-pressure” real estate tour…

None of these soul-sucking jobs suited me well.

In fact, I was fired from most of them for poor performance.

Thank Goodness… That’s All in the Past

You see… right after getting laid off from yet another crappy job in October of 2001, I had a “seminal moment” when I received a letter very similar to the one you’re reading right now.

It introduced me to a little-known yet high-paying writing profession that gave me all the hope I desperately needed.

At the time, I didn’t even know this profession existed.

Had no idea…

At first, I thought it was another one of those MLM schemes or envelope-stuffing scams. I’d seen plenty of those before… and had even got burned once or twice in the past in my desperate attempts to earn a buck…

…and dig myself out of my financial hole.

But then I discovered – after sending out a few emails and doing heaps of online research – that the writing profession I’m about to introduce you to was the real deal… and I took action, even though I was DEAD, FLAT BROKE.

And now I’m proud to say that that letter… that one single letter… has changed my life so profoundly that I still – to this day – cannot believe it at all.

It’s the stuff of fantasies. You’ll soon realize why I feel this way.

But in the meantime…

…if you’ve ever dreamed of escaping the 9-to-5 rat race for good, becoming a well-paid writer, and enjoying the same kind of lifestyle that doctors, lawyers, CEOs, and jet-setters enjoy…

…then you owe it to yourself to take a few minutes and read this letter. You’ll discover the same writing career opportunity that I did… an opportunity that can completely change your life too…

…and make all of your lifelong dreams come true.

Just How Good Can It Get?

Imagine being able to live and work from wherever you want in the world.

Want to write from home?

No problem.

Perhaps you’d like to write in the mornings, then spend your afternoons golfing… shopping… swimming… gardening… reading… watching films… spending time with your family… or whatever else pleases you…

You can do that.

Or maybe you’d like to become a “jet-setting writer” and spend all of your time living and writing from your ultimate dream destinations.

I’m living proof you can pull that off.

My name is Jason Gaspero, and ever since I read that letter – and took action – I’ve lived and worked in places like Paris… New York City… Bangkok… Miami Beach… Dublin… Panama City… Munich… Taipei… Granada… and many other exotic world-class destinations…

At the moment I split my time between London, England, and an island called Koh Phangan in Thailand, which is where I am writing you from today.

Right now I’m sitting poolside with my laptop at a beach resort, under a palm tree.

I’ll write here for a few hours this morning. This afternoon, I’ll probably read for a few hours (I’m reading The Count of Monte Cristo at the moment)… then meet up with friends to drink a few ice-cold Tiger beers and watch the sunset over the Gulf of Thailand before tonight’s infamous Full Moon Party kicks off in the beach town of Haad Rin.

Ahh… life is rough.

After Thailand?

I’m considering spending a few months on New Zealand’s South Island to learn how to snowboard.

Or maybe Buenos Aires, Argentina to take tango lessons. Or perhaps Cape Town, South Africa, to go on safaris and take photos of “The Big Five.”

Or maybe even back to South Beach in Miami for a little while, until the travel bug bites me again.

Now, when I look in the mirror, I don’t cringe anymore. Instead, I pinch myself and say, “This is absolutely nuts!”

I’ll Tell You… It Sure Beats Cleaning Filthy Bathroom Toilet Stalls

Even though I’m now enjoying a “perpetual vacation” of sorts, I’m earning a six-figure income for the first time in my life.

No joke!

With my new writing career, I’ve made more money in the past two months than I did in an entire year when my career was a complete mess!

Now my friends who were kind enough to take pity on me and let me crash on their sofa when I was broke and homeless say things like:

• “That’s gotta be the best job in the world.”
• “How did you learn how to do that?”
• “You’re living the dream!”

I’m sure you can imagine how great that would feel… to live a life of a jet-setting, six-figure writer… after all those years I lived a life of shame, hopelessness, and despair.

Of course, I wasn’t always this “lucky.”

And I also should mention that it didn’t happen overnight. Or that it was “easy,” either.

NOW, BEFORE YOU READ ANY FURTHER…

…PLEASE keep this in mind:

To earn a six-figure salary in the little-known writing profession I’m about to introduce you to:

• You must LOVE to write…
• You must LOVE to read…
• You must be CURIOUS about how the world works… and how people think and behave…
• And you MUST be the kind of person who is willing to make your dreams come true with hard work, persistence, and determination… NO MATTER WHAT!

This is NOT a “get rich quick” profession. If that’s what you’re looking for…

…this is definitely NOT for you.

But, If You’re One of Us…

…if you sincerely believe you’ve got what it takes to write a letter like this one… and if you’re absolutely, positively, without-a-shadow-of-a-doubt willing to make the commitment to mastering this little-known writing craft…

…then there’s no reason why you can’t make it happen… and completely transform your life into an absolute masterpiece.

I’m 100% convinced that it’s the greatest job in the world.

And it’s yours for the taking…

…if you want it badly enough.

Imagine having no boss… no commute… no boundaries to where and when you work… and no limit to the amount of income you can make.

That’s right.

You Can Be in Complete Control of Your Financial Destiny

If you’re ready to commit yourself 100% to learning this craft – and apply what you learn with fearlessness and persistence – I’m confident you’ll wind up being in such high-demand that you’ll have more high-paying writing projects than you can handle…

…no matter where you live.

That’s what happens to the true go-getters in our profession.

Every time.

And it’s a writing skill anyone can learn – even if you lack a formal education…

…as long as you’re willing to do what it takes to succeed.

And once you’ve mastered this craft, you can earn a healthy six-figure salary from anywhere in the world – all the way through your retirement years.

I love it!

Now when people ask me what I do for a living… I don’t have to duck and hide around the truth and try to make something like “bathroom attendant” or “cabana boy” sound like an elite career choice.

I tell them with pride, “I’m a freelance copywriter.”

Not a novelist… not a blockbuster screenwriter… and not a bestselling author.

I’m a freelance copywriter… and I’ll tell you exactly what we do in just a moment.

But in the meantime, guess what? Since you’ve read this far, I’ve got a feeling you’ve already got what it takes to succeed as a freelance copywriter, too.

That’s right.

If you’ve read this far, you’ve probably got the same hunger in your belly that I did when I first read that letter, just like this one, a few years ago…

…and you’re ready to do something about it now!

So please… sit back… relax… get comfortable… and let me introduce you to the fun and profitable world of freelance copywriting.

Let’s go!

Your New Dream Life As a Freelance Copywriter…

OK!!!

You’re interested… and you want to know what freelance copywriting is all about.

Here’s what you’ll be doing…

Basically, people will hire you to write letters that sell their product or service.

You’ve seen them in your mailbox at home or on your computer. Letters that come to you offering everything from mattresses to financial newsletters... from vitamins to credit cards.

Last year, the direct-response industry mailed billions of them to people like you and me. Letters very much like this one. And in each case, a freelance copywriter who knew the secrets to writing these simple little letters was hired – and paid very well – to write them.

That’s it, really.

For example, let’s say one of your new clients publishes a newsletter on living, retiring, and investing overseas… and they’ve hired you to write a sales letter to bring in new subscribers.

By the way, before you start, you’ll need to know a few insider “trade secrets” to make your sales letter as easy-to-read and persuasive as possible, but don’t worry…

…it’s not rocket science. You just got to take the time to learn all the secrets… and apply what you learn…

I’ll tell you how you can get your hands on just about every copywriting secret you’ll ever need in just a moment. But first, back to your newsletter project...

To get a handle on what you’ll be writing about, you’ll want to read at least several issues of the newsletter... which your client will gladly provide you.

You’ll read about – let’s say – undiscovered beaches in Mexico… cheap places to travel in Europe… how to fly overseas for 50% less than everyone else… how to start your own B&B in New Zealand… stuff like that.

This can be your “job”!

And, for your “job,” you’ll be learning all kinds of fun and helpful information you can use in the real world! Information people pay money for… sometimes a lot of money for… just to get their hands on!

So you’ve done your research… you know your product through and through… and you’ve completed the first draft of your sales letter.

Now it’s time for you to submit your letter to the person in charge of working with freelance copywriters – most likely a marketing manager, director of marketing, copy chief, or perhaps even the owner or president of the company.

They’ll look it over, make edits or suggestions, email it back to you, and so forth until it’s ready to get sent to a targeted mailing list.

Now’s where the money comes in.

Show Me the Money!

Here comes the good stuff.

Copywriters are usually paid a fee (anywhere from $1,000 to $15,000 – or even more for a few “superstars” in the business) to write a single sales letter. However, the big money comes when you write a “control.”

Let me explain, with a simple analogy…

When you were a little kid, did you ever play, “King of the Hill”?

If not, here’s how it’s played:

One of the players goes on top of a small hill, pile, or something similar… and is designated “King of the Hill”…

Then, once the game ensues, the other players try to knock the king off the hill and take the king’s place.

If you’re successful… if you can knock the king off… you become the new “King of the Hill,” and the game resumes.

It’s Quite the Same in the “Game” of Writing Sales Letters

You see… the “King of the Hill” is the copywriter who wrote the winning sales letter that’s currently being used to sell a particular product or service… the letter that’s bringing in the most sales.

It’s what’s known in the business as a “control.”

And just like in “King of the Hill,” other “players” (copywriters) are trying to knock down the current control with their new sales letters in an effort to beat it…

…and hopefully get their new letters to become the control.

Take down the current control with your fresh, new sales letter, and you could make heaps of money from just that one sales letter alone.

That’s because when you’re the author of a control, it’s likely you’ll also get paid a percentage of sales for as long as the letter continues to mail… known in the business as “royalties.”

Remember your new sales letter to promote the living, retiring, and investing overseas newsletter?

Let’s say this is how you’re getting compensated for your writing services:

• $2,500 to write the sales letter
• 2% of net sales

Let’s also say that your sales letter becomes the new control, remains the control for a year… and brings in $500,000 in net revenue over that year.

Guess how much you just made from writing that single sales letter?

Let’s do the math:

Writing Fee	$2,500
Royalties	$10,000 ($500,000 x .02)
TOTAL	$12,500

That’s right! You just made $12,500 for writing a simple sales letter!

And if you can write just three controls a year (writing one sales letter per month) you’re going to wind up making a lot of money.

A lot.

Here’s a typical “income snapshot” of a freelance copywriter who writes just one sales letter per month, and wins three controls in a year, generating $1.5 million in net revenue from those controls:

	Monthly Income	Annual Income
Writing Fees	$2,500	$30,000
Royalties	$2,500	$30,000 ($1.5 million x .02)
TOTAL	$5,000	$60,000

$60,000 per year… for writing one sales letter per month!

Of course, this is just an example.

Are you going to get $2,500 per sales letter and 2% royalties on your very first sales letter?

It’s not impossible…

But, not all of your letters make this much money. Some may make a lot more. Some will bomb. That’s just part of the business. It happens even to the best copywriters in the world.

And, when you’re just starting out, you’ll most likely work for smaller clients with smaller budgets.

That’s exactly how I got started.

Let me explain…

 

HOWEVER…

…if you can prove up front that you’ve got the writing skills, product knowledge, market knowledge, and a great idea to sell a product or service, it’s possible to make a lot of money – even six figures – from copywriting very early into your career…

…just like several fellow copywriters I know.

Let’s look at how the math can easily add up to six figures for a copywriter who writes two letters a month, winning six controls per year...

	Monthly Income	Annual Income
Writing Fees	$5,000	$60,000
Royalties	$5,000	$60,000 ($3 million x .02)
TOTAL	$10,000	$120,000

And, check this out…

From Stocking Dog Food to a Six-Figure Career

I feel like I’ve got quite a bit in common with freelance copywriter Paul Hollingshead.

Like me, he also had a “less-than-stellar” career track record before he discovered the opportunities in freelance copywriting.

When he was 35, he was stocking the dog-food aisle in a grocery store for $6.50 an hour – $13,520 a year – and about to get fired because his boss had it in for him.

I can relate!

But once Paul became a freelance copywriter… it only took him about six months to completely revolutionize his income and lifestyle.

Now he lives in a little historic town in the Vermont countryside… golfs or skis almost every afternoon… and makes over $400,000 a year!

Freelance copywriter Don Mahoney has a similar story.

Don was a cabinet maker barely eking out a living in upstate New York, getting sicker and sicker from the lacquer fumes and other chemicals he’d breathe in every day.

And just like Paul, just a few months into freelance copywriting, Don was making more money than he ever had in his life.

Now Don lives in Miami Beach and earns over $300,000 a year from freelance copywriting.

Yes… it really is possible to make six figures as a freelance copywriter…

…with the right help and the right work ethic, that is.

So… how did Paul and Don change careers and become freelance copywriters? And how did they become successful so quickly?

They learned their craft from one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the world… a successful business-builder and master copywriter who has probably helped more people become high-paid, in-demand copywriters than anyone else in the world.

And now, you can, too.

Learn From America’s Top Copywriters

According to best-selling author George Leonard, author of the critically acclaimed book, Mastery: The Keys to Success and Long-Term Fulfillment, there are “Five Master Keys” required to master any activity (including copywriting) that has a progressive learning scale and can be evaluated by other experts.

And the very first Master Key he mentions in the book is “Instruction”…

“There are some skills you can learn on your own, and some you can try to learn, but if you intend to take the journey of mastery, the best thing you can do is to arrange for first-rate instruction.”

“For mastering most skills, there’s nothing better than being in the hands of a master teacher…”

Well… this is your opportunity to learn from the best copywriters in America.

Meet Michael Masterson

I couldn’t think of anyone more qualified and experienced than copywriter, entrepreneur, and business-builder Michael Masterson to teach the art, craft, and business of copywriting to a total beginner.

Put it this way… Michael Masterson started his first business – a fifth-grade publishing venture – at age 11.

Since then, he has helped build more than a dozen start-ups into multi-million-dollar companies.

His success over the years borders on legendary… he’s been directly involved in the generation of over ONE BILLION DOLLARS of sales through the mail and online.

He’s also a highly successful nonfiction author. All of his business and wealth-building books have been listed as Wall Street Journal, Amazon.com or New York Times bestsellers.

He’s created an impressive lifestyle for himself and his family… and spends a fair portion of his time in charitable endeavors... both in the U.S. and abroad.

Today, Michael consults mainly for newsletter publishing giant Agora, Inc., and writes for Early To Rise, one of the most popular newsletters on the internet.

But there’s more to Michael Masterson than just his writing and business skills.

You see… Michael also has a knack for taking just about anyone with a burning desire to upgrade his lifestyle – no matter what his background or education – and transforming him into a top-notch copywriter:

• He’s the one responsible for transforming Paul Hollingshead from a 35-year-old, minimum-wage, grocery store stock boy into a copywriter earning upward of $400,000 a year… and Don Mahoney from a woodworker into a $300,000-a-year copywriter living in Miami Beach…
• He’s mentored other copywriters who have gone on to generate hundreds of millions of dollars in sales each year through their copy…
• He’s shown people in their 50s and 60s – people preparing for retirement – how to successfully change careers and become well-paid freelance copywriters…
• He’s taken young people fresh out of college – with no “life experience” at all – and turned them into top-notch copywriters and newsletter journalists...
• He’s taught housewives, bartenders, and laborers to excel as writers...
• He’s even helped “professionals” – doctors and college professors – leave successful careers to enjoy the big money and stress-free lifestyle copywriting offers...

As you can see, when you have a “Master Teacher” like Michael Masterson on your side, you don’t need to be a “writer” to become a successful freelance copywriter.

In fact, many of the most successful copywriters have come from varied and peculiar walks of life over the years.

Of course, you can’t be totally illiterate and be a successful copywriter. You do need to have a basic understanding of the English language. And a willingness to learn.

From there, good copywriting is just a matter of organizing the right ideas – and using a few simple “trade secrets” to tie those ideas together.

But where can you get your hands on these secrets? Secrets like the ones Michael Masterson has passed on to so many of his “students” over the years?

Well… I’ve got some good news for you.

Let me explain…

WANTED: More Freelance Copywriters!

One evening, during dinner over 11 years ago, Don, Paul, and Michael were discussing a problem our industry currently faces.

NOT ENOUGH QUALITY COPYWRITERS!

Can you believe it?

Even though freelance copywriters enjoy so much freedom, wealth, and demand – even though you can make a six-figure income while living anywhere in the world you want to live – without a boss looking over your shoulder all the time – there simply are not enough quality copywriters to promote all the new and existing products and services sold through direct-response advertising.

So Paul and Don came up with an idea and proposed it to Michael.

“What if we created a program that revealed the simple secrets of direct-mail copywriting… and made it available to everyone?”

The idea was… anyone with a burning desire to succeed could learn the craft – and join in on the profits to be made in this very lucrative profession.

Michael was all for it… agreed to contribute just about every secret he knew – every secret he’s taught to his many protégés over the years – on how to write winning sales letters.

One year later, AWAI’s Accelerated Program for Six-Figure Copywriting was complete…

…and the world of copywriting has never been the same since.

Put it this way.

AWAI’s Accelerated Program for Six-Figure Copywriting contains every technique... every secret... every idea... every writing tip that Michael Masterson has been passing down to apprentice copywriters for years.

All the secrets for writing successful “million-dollar” sales letters are included in this program.

“The Best Program on Copywriting… Ever”

Bob Bly, author of more than 70 books on writing and marketing, including the best-selling Copywriter’s Handbook said:

“This is the best program on copywriting I have ever seen anywhere in any form. Anyone who wants to get into direct-response copywriting would benefit enormously from taking it...”

Bob now sits on AWAI’s Board and works with their members. He’s also a favorite presenter at their annual copywriting “Bootcamp”... and few people can teach you more about the direct-response business than Bob!

As good as it was when it debuted, AWAI’s Accelerated Program for Six-Figure Copywriting is even better today.

Over the years – the program has been updated, revised, and retooled. Now it’s easier than ever to learn the art of copywriting, thanks to some new, exciting and innovative teaching techniques that ensure the most crucial lessons of the program stick like glue in your mind…

• All the terminology you need to know: headlines… leads… subheads… body copy… bullets… USPs… the false close… the close… urgency… painting a picture for the reader… features and benefits… making promises…
• How to write masterful headlines that grab your reader’s attention and force him to keep on reading…
• The four-part structure of every letter. Once you know it – and understand what each part must accomplish – it’s just a matter of filling in the blanks...

• The secret of “the Four-legged-Stool.” Use it faithfully and you’ll never write a bad letter in your career…

• How to “speak” directly to your reader... and show that you truly care about his or her worries, needs, and wants. It’s amazing how many letters don’t do this... and why most of them fail…
• How to critique your own work... and a “power-editing” technique that will guarantee your letter is the strongest it can be, time after time…

• How to get on all the best industry mailing lists... so you’ll always know what’s “hot” in the mail... who’s hiring... and who the up-and-coming players are. (Will you be one of them?)
• How to set up your very own direct-mail operation, if that’s what you’d like to do!
• How to build your portfolio from scratch – and gain valuable writing samples that will help you get new clients…
• How to market your writing services – even if you’ve got little or no experience…
• How much to charge for your writing services…

…and much, much more.

That’s right.

You’ll learn all these and many, many more powerful writing secrets, selling techniques, and masterful insights into the art of persuasion... from some of the best copywriting minds in the business.

Step-by-step… this program shows you how to go from “total newbie” to “A-Level, Six-Figure Copywriter.”

And soon, before you know it, you’ll be living the life you’ve always dreamed of…

…the “Writer’s Life.”

Start YOUR Copywriting Career Today

Get in on a 2.158 TRILLION-dollar industry

You know how the U.S. economy is heading for a slowdown…

…and that rough times are ahead?

Well… if you’re a freelance copywriter, that’s actually not too much of a big concern.

That’s because the forecast for direct marketing – the enormous industry that routinely hires freelance copywriters – looks better than ever.

Take a look at what the Direct Marketing Association had to say in a report broadcasted just a few months ago… on October 16, 2007:

• “In contrast to the forecasts for both expenditures and sales, the overall picture for direct-marketing employment looks better for 2008 than in 2007.”
• “In 2007, direct marketing will directly support 10.6 million jobs. This employment figure is expected to grow by 2.2 percent in 2008.”
• “In 2008, total U.S. direct-marketing sales are expected to surpass $2.158 trillion.”

Not only that, but the importance of direct marketing to the overall U.S. economy cannot be understated either:

• “In 2007, direct-marketing advertising across all economic sectors is expected to account for over $1.41 trillion of final demand nationwide, representing 10.2 percent of total U.S. GDP.”

So as you can see, if you’re a talented freelance copywriter in the direct-response industry, you’re going to have way more “job security” than most people in the “9-to-5 grind.”

Instead, you could be turning away work because you simply won’t have the time to handle it all.

I don’t know about you… but I sure enjoy that kind of peace-of-mind.

Why not write and read for 4-6 hours a day, and then spend the rest of the day enjoying the kind of fun and fulfilling activities that everyone else can only do on vacation?

It’s a no brainer, if you ask me.

Am I worried about “competition”?

No way! There is so much work out there that if you’re good enough, well-trained, and well-skilled, you’ll eventually have more work than you could possibly handle.

If you’re a talented direct-response copywriter, you can rest assured – always – that you’ll be able to find work. In fact, if you’re good enough, AND you’ve done a good job of getting your name out there, the work will find you.

I didn’t believe this at first, when I first went freelance. But it’s true. You’ll reach a point when you actually have to politely say, “No, I’m simply all booked up right now.”

It’s so great to have the tables turned like that. Not long ago, I remember going through the classified ads with my yellow highlighter looking at lousy jobs and getting turned down by most of them.

Not even getting an interview.

Now, I’m the one turning away work, thanks in large part to AWAI’s Accelerated Program for Six-Figure Copywriting.

Funny how the world works, isn’t it?

“This past year alone, my company, Agora Publishing, paid out over $5 million in writing fees and royalties to over 40 copywriters. And you know what? I’m happy to do it. Why? Because a good letter is the ‘engine' of my business. I’m always looking for more copywriters… lots more. There just aren't enough writers to write the thousands of letters my company needs written every year. And I'm not alone. The whole industry needs copywriters.”

– Bill Bonner,
President, Agora Publishing

“Top copywriters are critical to my company's success – and most of the freelance copywriters I use are AWAI members. I am much more comfortable hiring new writers if they have taken the AWAI program.”

– Brian Sodi,
Capital Financial Management

“As a publisher of 5 newsletters with tens of thousands of customers worldwide, I’m constantly looking for writers. It's not unusual for me to pay $2,000, $3,000, even $8,000 for a single letter if I know it'll bring in money for my company. As a copywriter myself, I know AWAI's program is good. Anyone who completes their program and writes a strong sales letter can always find work with me."

– James DiGeorgia,
DiGeorgia & Associates

Today’s Biggest Copywriting Superstars Agree…

I can now say – without a doubt – that AWAI’s Accelerated Program for Six-Figure Copywriting has completely changed my life in a way that I simply cannot believe.

But like I said earlier, when I first read the letter, I felt really excited about it, but still was a little hesitant, because I never heard of “AWAI” before… and I didn’t want to get burned. I knew that there are more than a few charlatans out there who will gladly take your money for little or nothing in return…

…and I definitely did not want that to happen.

So I jumped on the web and did some research and found out that AWAI (American Writers & Artists Inc.) is definitely the real deal… and that there really are “superstar” freelance copywriters out there making six figures per year.

One of these superstars, I learned was Bob Bly, who as you now know, said that AWAI’s Accelerated Program for Six-Figure Copywriting is “the best program on copywriting I have ever seen anywhere in any form.”

And Bob Bly isn’t the only superstar copywriter who recommends AWAI’s Accelerated Program for Six-Figure Copywriting to learn the craft and business of freelance copywriting.

Take a look:

“AWAI’s Accelerated Program for Six-Figure Copywriting is hands down the best way I know to get a working knowledge of the world’s most effective copywriting techniques today. It has, quite simply, become the standard of the industry. Like many direct-response companies, I won’t even consider hiring a copy cub who hasn’t completed both the basic and the advanced program.”

– Clayton Makepeace,
Million-Dollar Copywriter

“If I was starting out as a copywriter today, here’s what I would do: Join AWAI’s copywriting program. Here is where you’ll get the nuts and bolts of copywriting. You’ll learn a copywriting formula that’s proven successful. Plus, you’ll get to meet other aspiring and established copywriters. And the folks at AWAI really work hard to help you succeed. To get your money’s worth – get to know all of those folks by name… and do the assignments they recommend.”

– Carline Anglade-Cole,
“A-Level” Copywriter with million-dollar controls

“This isn't just the best copywriting program around... in a lot of ways, it's the ONLY program. It reads like a road map to everything it took me years to master on my own. If I were starting over again from scratch, I'm pretty sure this program is where I'd begin. And I know it's what I recommend first to others who are just getting started.”

– John Forde,
Six-Figure Freelance Copywriter

As you can see, there is plenty of muscle behind this program. Today’s hottest copywriting superstars endorse it.

The Best Job in the World…

Another great aspect of becoming a well-paid freelance copywriter is the short learning curve… and the small investment required to succeed.

Look at what doctors have to deal with…

I’m not exactly sure how many years of school they have to go through… but I know it’s a lot more than four years.

Then they have to complete their residency and study their specialty for a few more years, all the while accumulating back-breaking debt.

They’re often on call 24 hours a day… have to deal with insane office politics… must endure a lot of stress… and a bunch of other issues I wouldn’t want to deal with. Ever.

Not for me… that’s for sure.

Same goes for lawyers. They’ve got to get a degree from a university, score super well on their LSATs, go through law school – which often costs a small fortune – and then work their tail off for years before they can finally “climb up the ladder” and earn the big bucks.

And if you’re a lawyer, you sometimes have to deal with some real lowlifes as well.

On the other hand, when you’re a freelance copywriter, you’re really living the dream.

You can choose when you want to work… where you want to work… and for whom you want to work. Heck… if you’ve got an entrepreneurial bent to you, you can even start your own direct-response business… write for yourself… and make millions and millions of dollars. (This is what most seven-figure copywriters do, for the record…)

Not only that, but it doesn’t take nearly as long to become successful as a freelance copywriter as a doctor or lawyer… you can make just as much as most of them… and you’ll be doing it in the environment of your choice.

Become a doctor? Lawyer?

Nah… they can have that.

I think I’ll stick with writing to you poolside on an island in Thailand.

I can’t believe this is my job.

AWAI Will Make It Easy for You to Get Started

The good people at AWAI want to make sure you have nothing to risk by giving AWAI’s Accelerated Program for Six-Figure Copywriting your best try.

And they also want to make sure it’s affordable for you, too – even though you’ll find that the knowledge you’ll gain from this remarkable program is well worth $50,000 or more.

(Hey… if you can make six figures while traveling the world… how much would you pay to do that for the rest of your life?)

Sure… $50,000 might sound like a ridiculous amount of money to you right now.

But then again, think about what you’d pay to any school for the kind of instant $100,000+ earning potential and life-long skills you’ll have as a professional copywriter.

Don and Paul told me they would have happily paid double that amount for the cash-generating knowledge they now have.

But you won’t pay $50,000 for this program. You won’t pay $10,000. You won’t even pay $1,000 – the cost of a couple of credits at a good college...

The total cost of AWAI’s Accelerated Program for Six-Figure Copywriting is just $507 – an almost absurdly low fee. But, AWAI is going to make it even easier for you to break into the lucrative world of copywriting...

You Can Pay As You Learn

Instead of paying the full price of $507 upfront, you’ll pay only $39 to sign up for AWAI’s Accelerated Program for Six-Figure Copywriting.

They’ll send you a whole starter kit – with introductory sections, a “Hall of Fame” book with some of the greatest letters ever written, and your first 14 sections of the program. Review your start-up materials, study all the copywriting secrets, and practice the special techniques.

PLEASE don’t just read through it. DO the exercises! Get into it! Give it all you’ve got… and it will pay off in spades. You’ll see.

If this program doesn’t deliver everything AWAI promises – if you are not convinced that AWAI’s Accelerated Program for Six-Figure Copywriting will provide you with a six-figure, work part-time-from-home lifestyle, then simply return the unmarked program materials within 30 days.

They’ll happily refund your $39.

If, as I expect, you are thrilled with the program and excited to move forward, then AWAI will bill you only $39 each month for 12 additional installments of this powerful life-changing program.

You’ve Got One Life to Live… and It’s Time to Start Living

You’ve got a pretty important choice to make here.

You can continue what you’ve been doing your entire life up until this moment… or you can try something out – risk-free – that can affect your life so profoundly, you may wonder “what if” for the rest of your life if you don’t just give it a try…

And then there’s the price of getting started.

Just 39 dollars for the first 14 installments. That’s it.

39 dollars. About the cost of a dinner at a half-decent restaurant.

Oh… what I would’ve missed – the memories and friends I’d never have – had I not invested that initial $39 and taken a look at the program.

I would’ve missed:

• Paddling a sea kayak into a hidden lagoon with towering limestone cliffs and water the color of mint toothpaste in Koh Phi Phi, Thailand...
• Blasting every single person in sight – and getting blasted myself – with semi-automatic water rifles during the Songkran Festival in Koh Phangan, Thailand…
• Running with the bulls at the Fiesta de San Fermin in Pamplona, Spain. Twice. And then learning that USA Today placed a photo of me – much to my surprise – running right next to four enormous bulls on their website (I ordered a poster-sized copy from the Associated Press)…
• Standing on a milk crate on the Champs-élysées in Paris, France and cheering Lance Armstrong to his record-setting seventh victory in the Tour de France…
• Donning a kilt, braving sub-zero temperatures, and ringing in the new year at the Hogmanay Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland…
• Dancing the night away to legendary DJ Carl Cox at Space (ranked the #1 nightclub in the world for three consecutive years) until 8:00 a.m. in Ibiza, Spain…
• Singing traditional Bavarian songs in between sips of tasty beer with friendly dirndl-clad frauleins at Munich’s Oktoberfest…
• Trekking through the rainforest in search of wild howler monkeys in Nicaragua…
• Watching the sunset while dining on freshly baked baguettes, gourmet cheese, and Châteauneuf du Pape wine on a riverboat in Strasbourg, France…
• Cheering South Africa to victory in the 2007 Rugby World Cup with over 1,000 South African revelers at the Walkabout-Temple pub in London, England…
• Sightseeing along Ireland’s majestic coastline before enjoying a few pints of creamy Guinness at one of the local pubs…
• Meeting and making friends with people from all over the world. And I’m not just talking about acquaintances. Amazing friends I know I’ll stay in touch with for a long, long time.
• …and scores and scores of other memories and friendships that I wouldn’t give up for anything…

YOU Can Do All These Kinds of Things Too…
Whatever You’ve Dreamt of Doing…
WHEN YOU TAKE ACTION

Had I not invested those 39 dollars – none of these experiences would’ve been part of my memory.

Nothing.

Just fantasies… and I was scared to death that my time would pass without enjoying experiences like this…

…and I’d grow old wondering, “what could’ve been…”

The Choice Is Yours

Imagine working for yourself, when you want to, from home, with no bosses breathing down your neck and no commute to drive you crazy.

Imagine being in high demand – having marketers calling you, asking if you’ve got room on your dance card to give you $2,000… $3,000… $5,000 or more to write a simple sales letter.

And remember, you can only take the jobs you want and practically name your price.

Imagine living where you’ve always wanted to live. Now you can because you’re a highly paid professional writer. Live on the beach... in the mountains... in a high rise overlooking Central Park… in a 17th century pied-à-terre on the left bank in Paris… in an oceanfront bungalow in Bali…

…wherever you want to live!

Wherever you go, all you need is a computer and an internet connection and you’re good to go.

Imagine working as little or as much as you like – at any time of the day. (If you’re a night owl, you can work a few hours a night and have the entire day free to do whatever you want!)

Or imagine being able to wake up on any morning and say I think I’d like to play golf, or go fishing today. Or, and I’ve done this myself… just hop on a plane for an “impromptu vacation” – anything you like.

That’s what being a top-notch copywriter is like.

It’s a great life – and I’d like you to take this very rare opportunity to see if life as a professional copywriter is the life for you.

As I said before… it’s only $39 to get started… recommended by today’s top copywriters… risk-free… guaranteed… and can give you the lifestyle you’ve always dreamed of.

Carpe diem.

Sieze the day.

The choice is yours.

Yours,
