Michael Masterson:
Not Your Typical Businessman
“One of the mantras I’m constantly preaching to people who want to become wealthy is the importance of gaining a financially valuable skill.
A financially valuable skill does two things for you. One, it allows you to consistently earn a much higher than average income … and, two, you can leverage it by applying it to a business you own, thus create great wealth from it.
One of the best financially valuable skills, in my mind, is the art of letter writing. Why? It’s fun. It provides a great lifestyle. And it can make you a ton of money.
With AWAI’s Accelerated Program for Six-Figure Copywriting, it’s possible to learn letter-writing skills that could have you earning great money in months if you apply yourself. Paul Hollingshead, for example, went from earning $6.50 or so an hour stocking cans in a grocery store to earning well over $300,000 a year writing copy. Don Mahoney quit his job as a carpenter and now earns the same. Joshua Boswell went from flirting with bankruptcy to making over $100,000 his first year as a copywriter.
If you haven’t yet mastered a financially valuable skill, you should consider copywriting. A long and growing list of people who have taken the program and applied its principles have left behind routine, often low-paying, dead-end jobs and are now making six figures from their homes or anywhere they choose to write.
If you have ever dreamed of changing your life, you can. The AWAI Accelerated Program for Six-Figure Copywriting is fun, liberating, and enormously rewarding. I love the life of a high-paid writer. So will you!”

MICHAEL MASTERSON – There is no one more qualified and experienced than copywriter, entrepreneur, and business-builder Michael Masterson to teach you the art, craft, and business of copywriting.
Michael started his first business – a fifth-grade publishing venture – at age 11.
After finishing grad school at the University of Michigan in 1975, he spent two years in the Peace Corps, where he began his writing career.
Several years later he was working as a writer for a small newsletter publishing company in Washington D.C. Then, in 1982, he learned the art of copywriting and launched the first of dozens of successful direct-marketing ventures, many of which have become multi-million dollar companies.
All told, 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 author. He’s published more than a dozen books, including several which have become Wall Street Journal, Amazon.com or New York Times bestsellers.
Today, Michael consults mainly for newsletter publishing giant Agora, Inc., and writes regularly for Early To Rise, one of the most popular self-improvement newsletters on the Internet, and for The Golden Thread, AWAI’s weekly copywriting newsletter.
But there’s more to Michael Masterson than just his writing and business skills.
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 (or her) 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 $300,000 a year … and Don Mahoney from a woodworker to 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 …
- He’s even helped “professionals” – doctors and college professors – leave successful careers to enjoy the big money and stress-free lifestyle copywriting offers …
