“WOO HOO!!”
… I wanted to let you know how excited I am … it has already landed me a paying assignment.” – Caroline M., Wayzata, MN
“I was able to pick up FOUR new clients and FIVE new assignments!” – Joshua B., Spanish Fork, UT
“Last month I made $13,210 from writing copy. I never could have done it without AWAI's FastTrack to Success.” – Susan C., Hawthorne, CA
Dear Reader,
Imagine being handed your first paying copywriting job without making a single phone call … Or watching $13,000 in copywriting fees flood into your mailbox this month … Even landing so many clients that you’ve got to start turning work away!
Most copywriters will tell you success like that comes only after years of experience.
Not necessarily.
“I landed my first paid copywriting assignment two months after I attended AWAI’s FastTrack to Success. Six months later, I had all the work I could handle.”
— Krista J.,
Roswell, GA
Even if you’ve never had a paying copywriting job before, even if you aren’t really sure you’re ready to “go for it,” this kind of breakthrough success can be yours in a matter of months. Yes … months.
How do I know? As Conference Director at AWAI, my inbox is overflowing with success stories like these … and it happened just this fast for members exactly like you!
In fact, AWAI member Susan C. told me she spent four days renting a beach house in Del Mar, California. It’s a luxury she never could’ve enjoyed when she was working 9 to 5. But today she’s a freelance health copywriter earning upwards of $14,000 a month! Yet when we met, she hadn’t even written a letter “for pay” before.
If you ask her, just like so many others, she’ll tell you she owes it all to one single event …
“When I attended my first Bootcamp on September 18, 2002, I really didn’t know what to expect. But I did know one thing … I wanted to be a copywriter. And in just THREE days’ time I was …
By September 21st, I had my first REAL copywriting project in the health field. By December, my sales letter was in the mail. By the end of January, I had my very first control and a nice paycheck to show for it! And things were about to get even better.
By February, I received a surprise bonus check for that first control and landed two more paying projects. Within just six months I had enough work to walk away from my full-time job at a Los Angeles television station and start living the life of a copywriter!”
– Susan C., Hawthorne, CA
In the 7 years that I’ve worked with AWAI, I’ve seen the FASTEST successes … the BIGGEST career breakthroughs like Susan’s – without question – happen during Bootcamp or in the days, weeks and months that follow.
And it’s really no surprise …
Bootcamp is the only place where you’ll find the greatest minds in copywriting and the biggest names in direct marketing together under one roof. That’s a feat in itself, but there’s more …
Every single one of them is here to help you break into the field of copywriting you want to be in … whether it’s business-to-business, health, financial, fundraising, self-help, or writing for the web.
AWAI’s FastTrack to Copywriting Success Bootcamp and Job Fair is like taking an elevator straight up to the writer’s life while everyone else is taking the stairs …
“I don’t often get lucky, but this day was different. A big-name marketer was giving me – a new AWAI-trained copywriter – the opportunity to write for him. He said, ‘Every great copywriter has to start somewhere, and I’m in favor of giving you a chance.’ His gamble paid off – my letter beat the control by 29%. Thanks AWAI and your fabulous FastTrack to Copywriting Success Bootcamp and Job Fair.”
– Penny T., Metuchen, NJ
… AWAI member Krista J. landed her first paid copywriting assignment just two months after attending her first AWAI Bootcamp. Six months later, she had all the work she could handle and soon walked away from an $80,000-a-year job to live the writer’s life …
… David C. turned in his spec assignment after Bootcamp and got his first letter in the mail. Even better, that letter brought him a $10,000 payday, plus royalties …
… Jeff M. got offered a paying job on the spot at Bootcamp …
And this year, it’s your turn …
“My second Bootcamp was even better than my first! I was offered an assignment on the spot at the Job Fair, and several other prospective clients asked to see my existing samples.”
— Tom T. (“TNT”),
Digital Dynamite, Inc.
If you want to grab the writer’s life with both hands, write better copy than you ever have before, and watch paychecks – even royalty checks – pile into your mailbox, then you can’t miss AWAI’s 2010 FastTrack to Copywriting Success Bootcamp and Job Fair in Delray Beach, Florida, from Nov. 3 – 6, 2010.
For three incredible days you’ll be flooded with fantastic “real world” copywriting techniques from today’s top working copywriters … you’ll get professional feedback on your own writing … a chance to mingle with marketers who hire writers like you … plus you’ll get your pick of real assignments that can lead to paying work.
You’ll meet legendary copywriters like Bob Bly, ed Nicholas, Herschell Gordon Lewis, and Don Hauptman. For AWAI member David H., that’s what made the biggest difference …
“The last three days have been nothing short of amazing. Everything I’ve learned from the Accelerated and Master’s programs is now in razor-sharp clarity. The AWAI staff and speakers – and the masters themselves – have been so approachable and willing to share what they know. This Bootcamp has given me the motivation I’ve needed to get my copywriting career going. Thank you so much for everything.”
– David H., Lexington, KY
As soon as you step through the doors on your first day, you’ll discover it too. There’s nothing that helps you speed through the learning curve like hearing the core writing techniques you’ve been reading about from the very Masters who created them …
Michael Masterson — It wouldn’t be a Bootcamp without Michael. He’s famous for his ability to train aspiring copywriters. So, it makes sense that he leads some of the most powerful ad useful sessions. Michael’s been directly involved in generating over $1 BILLION of sales through mail and online copywriting. He’s launched dozens of successful direct-marketing ventures, many of which have become multi-million dollar companies. And he’s published more than a dozen books, including several which have become bestsellers on Amazon.com, The Wall Street Journal, and The New York Times.
Bill Bonner — This is the first time the legendary Bill Bonner will speak at Bootcamp. Just one of his claims to fame as a copywriter is the 25-year control he wrote that launched International Living (in AWAI’s Hall of Fame collection). That control is still in circulation today … It will be a real treat to hear Bill explain a few of his time-tested copywriting secrets that made Agora such a success. If you aren’t familiar with Agora, the companies under its umbrella publish more than 300 books and 40 newsletters, reaching one million readers around the world. You may want to become familiar with them because representatives from Agora divisions will be at the Job Fair looking to hire new copywriting talent.
Ted Nicholas — Renowned copywriter and marketer Ted Nicholas will also be making his debut this year to help make the 2010 Bootcamp a unique experience. Ted exploded onto the scene with his blockbuster advertisement and book on "How To Form Your Own Corporation Without a Lawyer for Under $50" ― without it we may all still be paying lawyers thousands of dollars to start companies. And, that was just his beginning. To date, his copywriting has produced over $5.9 billion (yes, with a "b") worth of sales for his companies and his clients' companies, in every industry from candy to incorporation and marketing to natural health.
Mark Everett Johnson —How would you like to write a letter that generates over 3.3 million paid orders and over $80 million in sales? His promo for a major health provider has been mailing for over 15 years, and has sold four million (!) subscriptions. Mark was also the copy chief for legendary copywriter Eugene Schwartz … so he speaks from experience when he gives you insiders' secrets to writing breakthrough copy.
Herschell Gordon Lewis — Herschell is one of the highest-paid, most respected, best-known direct response copywriters in the world. He is the author or co-author of more than 30 books on how to write copy. Herschell is also famous within the world of motion pictures — as the originator of what now are called “splatter” films! He’s always engaging, and often hilarious – which is why he is among the most requested Bootcamp speakers each year.
Bob Bly — Bob is a legend in the copywriting world, and with good reason. He has decades of experience, and has written hundreds of campaigns. Bob's book "The Copywriter's Handbook" is one of the most popular and informative in the industry. Just about any question you could ask about writing effective direct-response copy or running a profitable freelance copywriting business … Bob has an insightful answer to based directly on personal experience. And Bob will be leading a special event at Bootcamp this year, more on that shortly …
Nick Usborne is an online copywriter and site optimization expert with a career spanning twenty five years in the marketing industry. Since 1996, he has been working exclusively on marketing online and is internationally recognized as a leading expert on the subject of writing for the Web. During this year’s Bootcamp, Nick will be sharing his strategies for creating your own profitable freelance business including tips for setting effective goals, choosing the right clients, and making the most money possible from every project you take on.
John Forde — John is a master copywriter, author, publisher, and popular speaker. He began his copywriting career working with Bill Bonner and Michael Masterson. Over the last 18 years, John has written dozens of controls. He’s mentored more than two dozen other writers. And, he’s been responsible for combined direct and indirect revenues in excess of $40 million. John also writes the successful and very useful e-letter, The Copywriters Roundtable. John resides with his family in Paris, living the writer’s life …
Jennifer Stevens — Jen is a seasoned copywriter and coach who specializes in travel and investment copy. She started in the travel side of the business. For many years, she was the editor of International Living. Jen is the author of AWAI’s Ultimate Travel Writer’s Program. She’s an exceptional teacher – you’ll come away from her sessions with practical, useful advice. And don’t miss the sessions where Jen and John Forde and Will Newman team up –talk about a triple play!
Don Hauptman — Don is an award-winning direct-response copywriter and creative consultant who specializes in the marketing of information. He may be best known for his headline “Speak Spanish Like a Diplomat!” This series of ads generated tens of millions of dollars of revenue for his client. Although low key, Don enjoys mingling with attendees and sharing his wisdom.
Steve Slaunwhite, Pete Savage, and Ed Gandia – Back by popular demand! These successful Business-to-Business (B2B) copywriters, and prolific authors, will be back to share their insights about freelancing in the B2B world. Their panel on the opportunities in the B2B niche was one of the most popular sessions last year. And thanks to Steve, Pete, and Ed you’ll walk away with a concrete understanding of this in-demand niche which boasts well-paying clients, short projects, and no-hype copy.
And that’s not even the entire line-up!
Sure, AWAI’s basic copywriting program has all the information you need (and more) to land your first copywriting job, start writing winning letters, and change your life. Still, building your confidence and learning the “ins and outs” of the business can take years. But there’s an easier way …
Heard of Monica Day? She’s one of your fellow AWAI members … a copywriter who’s in high demand. She climbed the ladder at lightning speed using what she learned during three short days at Bootcamp …
“After my first Bootcamp, I went home and made my first $17,482 in copywriting fees in just three months. After my second Bootcamp, I secured four new major clients, wrote seven direct-mail packages, started my own internet business, and cracked the six-figure milestone after just two years as a professional copywriter! Honestly, I couldn’t have made it this far this fast without this program.”
– Monica D., Philadelphia, PA
The thing is, reaching that higher level of success – where you can pick your clients, name your price and enjoy royalty checks in the thousands of dollars – is happening for brand-new writers because of Bootcamp. And this year …
Each day you’ll move from session to session with Master copywriters and marketers, absorbing their decades of experience like a sponge. You’ll hear how top writers get clients and negotiate fees and royalties – all of the little secrets that can make a big difference in pushing your income into six-figure territory. It happened for Joshua B. …
At his very first Bootcamp Job Fair he landed FOUR brand-new clients and FIVE new assignments. His income since then has gone through the roof. Just listen to what he had to say just a few months after leaving Bootcamp …
“In the past 3 months alone, only writing for 3 clients, I have brought in over $40,000! At the same time we just bought a 6-bedroom, 3-bath home on some acreage – a long-time dream of ours …
I am now working with one of the speakers from Bootcamp on a project that is going to be worth enormous wealth to me in the coming years. I just can’t tell you folks over there at AWAI ‘thank you’ enough. My life has been radically changed for the better! Thank you!”
– Joshua B., Spanish Fork, UT
In fact, Joshua has had so much success in the past few years that we’ve invited him to come to Bootcamp as the Emcee and Host for this year’s event. Joshua is an inspiring speaker, and he willingly shares his secrets and techniques on how he created this “writer’s life” lifestyle for himself and his family … he’ll show you how you can do the same thing.
Of course the real “wow” factor is the caliber of copy these writers produce. They’re winning control after control while writing only a few hours a day! And you’ll discover exactly how they do it. These Bootcamp speakers are working pros who will step you through their writing techniques with true-life examples. You’ll find out many new secrets too. Like how to write more in less time …
And while your bank account grows, so does your free time. And that means more hours to spend enjoying your life with family and friends – just like AWAI member Melia C …
She recently sent me a note from Tortola, British Virgin Islands. She’s spending three months there before heading to Paris. Talk about living the writer’s life! And she credits Bootcamp with giving her the skills and the confidence to succeed …
“My main concern entering Bootcamp (and I know I wasn’t alone in this) was self-promotion. I was a good writer before Bootcamp, but a D- self-promoter. Now, I can confidently say I am a great writer and a grade-A self-promoter. The self-confidence I have now to market my services will be invaluable to my copywriting career. So, thank you, each one of you, so much. Bootcamp exceeded my (very high) expectations. And I will certainly be returning next year.
– Melia C., Charlottesville, VA
“One of the best things about going to the conference is meeting smart, creative people and being able to spend time with some of the brightest minds in the business. The after-hour discussions in the bar, dinner out with a group of other attendees, and the breakfasts are as valuable as the regular sessions. It’s a great way to meet new friends and new contacts!”
— Brad M.,
Salt Lake City, UT
One of the best ways to become “in demand” fast and increase your chances of higher fees and royalties is to specialize. However, unless you’ve already got inside connections in the health, financial, fundraising, or self-help markets, you’ll spend months trying to figure out the intricacies of each one. And that’s another reason why Bootcamp is such an incredible opportunity for new writers like you.
Earlier you heard how Susan C. landed her first health control right after Bootcamp. Well, here’s something she didn’t mention …
She told me that if she had been handed that very same project before Bootcamp, she’s not sure she could have pulled it off. You see, she had studied the principles of writing, but didn’t have an ounce of experience with nutritional supplements.
At the FastTrack Bootcamp Job Fair, she got to talk with health marketers like Jenny Thompson from Agora Health. And suddenly she realized the specific emotional hot buttons nutritional supplement copy has to push to make a sale. In other words, she learned important secrets that won her that control.
At this year’s Bootcamp, we’re offering even more niche market writing insights … from master marketers who will be attending Job Fair as well.
AWAI’s FastTrack to Copywriting Success Bootcamp and Job Fair is the only place I know of where you can go from being “green” to being confident in every word you write virtually overnight! And when it comes to landing your first paying project, you won’t have to look far …
“Bringing in companies who are offering real job opportunities is a huge motivation. To be able to talk with these companies in person and hear how they desperately need us to write copy, is one of the biggest motivations.”
— Andrew E.,
Santa Fe, NM
We’re always searching for new ways to make it easier for you to find clients. Especially good clients who offer steady, high-paying work that interests you. Up until now, you may have responded to ads in The Golden Thread or DirectResponseJobs.com, or sent out promotional letters.
While there’s nothing wrong with this approach, and it has certainly worked for many AWAI members, just imagine how much faster and easier it will be to meet the people who want to hire you face to face.
At the FastTrack Bootcamp Job Fair, you’ll get the exceptional opportunity to do just that …
We’re gathering marketing representatives from dozens of companies – including some brand-new names. They’re all looking for fresh talent in health, financial, fundraising, information products, internet marketing, and more. You’ll get the chance to talk with them and learn about their businesses. And it’s only the beginning of the opportunity …
While you’ll get plenty of business cards, many of these marketers will also hand you what other copywriters have to sweat for – real live copywriting assignments!
That’s right, you’ll leave with actual copywriting assignments on spec for major marketers like Agora Publishing … Early To Rise … Nightingale Conant … Healthy Back Institute … Millionaire’s Club … International Living … and many more!
Yes, these are the very same companies that turn away experienced copywriters every single day, yet they’ll hand you a spec assignment, which could possibly lead to a nice paycheck! Some marketers will be interviewing copywriters on the spot – they’re here to meet you!
If you’ve been waiting for your big break, this could be the project that sets your career in motion. Like I said earlier, in the days, weeks and months that follow Bootcamp, my in-box fills up with letters from excited members who are reporting their incredible successes. It’s one of my favorite times of year, because I get letters like this one from Phil G. in Plano, Texas …
“I submitted a spec assignment to a financial newsletter. The spec may be expanded into a full promo. Meanwhile they wanted a renewal series right away and hired me to do those, which I did. So the Job Fair spec assignment led directly to a paying assignment, and I'm hoping it will lead on to greater things to follow.”
– Phil G., Plano, TX
And Susie H. from Shakopee, Minnesota, wanted me to share this note with you …
“I did walk away with a paid assignment. Networking happens, whether you consciously do it or not. Let it take you where it will, because you’ll be thrilled when it does. And, when you get home and the phone rings the next day with another paid assignment, you can grin, make the deal, then hang up and scream and jump for joy. Go ahead. Expect it all. It happens.”
– Susie H., Shakopee, MN
This year I hope to be hearing from you!
I’ve made it my personal mission to make sure you’ll find more opportunity to launch your six-figure copywriting career at this year’s Bootcamp than ever before. And most important, that you’re fully prepared to reach out and grab it!
There are tracks for both basic and advanced copywriters. You can jumpstart your new career with information about copywriting, getting clients, and running a business. Or, if you’ve attended Bootcamp a few years like me, you can master more sophisticated copy techniques, learn about the latest trends in the marketplace, and enhance your entrepreneurial skills to increase your revenue.
“The best part of the entire experience was the chance to meet the experts. They are knowledgeable, experienced, successful, and very, very generous with what they know. I am confident I can do this.”
– MaryBeth S., Shoreham, NY
AWAI brings some of the copywriting legends working today to these events. The writing secrets they’ll share can undoubtedly open the floodgates to steady work in your favorite area. But there’s another reason Bootcamp is helping so many AWAI members grow into successful, well-paid copywriters …
If you haven’t noticed by now, AWAI’s 2010 FastTrack to Copywriting Success Bootcamp and Job Fair isn’t just another conference. Now let me show you why we call it a “Bootcamp” …
The best way to master any skill is through practice. That’s why we’re giving you the important experience of honing your writing process – from concept to copy – in live writing workshops. During our mini review and peer review sessions, you’ll get critiques of your work from the pros and fellow copywriters, including Michael Masterson. It’s the kind of feedback that can make your writing deeper, better balanced and more compelling.
“I got the most out of the sessions that at first concerned me more than any others: the Writing Workshops. I was really intimidated by having my headline and lead critiqued by the pros and fellow members. But I shouldn’t have worried. Their comments were very positive, and the suggestions they offered definitely improved the copy and style. This was the ‘Kick in the Tail’ I needed to get serious about my copywriting!”
– Bill A., Durham, NC
If this isn’t the fastest way to shift your copywriting career into overdrive and start getting paychecks for $5,000, even $10,000 on up, I don’t know what is!
AWAI’s 2010 FastTrack to Copywriting Success Bootcamp is being held on Florida’s Gold Coast, at the Delray Beach Marriott. It’s a stone’s throw from a gorgeous white sand beach and the warm, clear waters that have made Florida famous. Wake up in the morning and the first thing you’ll smell is fresh ocean air.
The beach is wonderful, but what you’ll really like is our city. The hotel’s just a few blocks from downtown Delray Beach where you’ll find sidewalk cafes, antique shops, restaurants, art galleries, jazz clubs, and lots of shopping, too. With temperatures in the mid 70s, November is one of the best times to be out and about.
Just when you think we can’t pack any more valuable information, quality job leads or practical hands-on experience into this year’s Bootcamp, there’s something else that happens to transform you from novice into professional copywriter. It has nothing to do with writing or even listening to so many top copywriters … instead, it’s about getting to know them.
”Bootcamp is also a chance to strengthen relationships, make new contacts, and build friendships. One highlight for me was watching the Space Shuttle lift off while wading in a moonlit ocean along with a group of friends – old and new.”
– Chris A., Ontario, Canada
During session breaks, you might get the chance to chat with Bob Bly or Herschell Gordon Lewis about copywriting or just life in general. Or you may bump into Ted Nicholas or Nick Usborne at one of the breakfasts, luncheons, or cocktail parties. Maybe you’ll even have a cocktail with Michael Masterson or Paul Hollingshead!
And you’ll be amazed at what you can discover. Not just about writing either, but about travel, food, wine, music, kids – you name it. Suddenly you see they’re all regular people just like you. And you realize if THEY can do it … well, so can you.
Now you know why even established copywriters are taking the time out of their busy schedules to make the trip to AWAI’s 2010 FastTrack to Copywriting Success Bootcamp. And why dozens of past attendees keep coming back year after year.
In just three short days, Bootcamp can rocket launch your copywriting career just like it has for so many other AWAI members …
“This event confirmed, once again, that my investment in AWAI has been the smartest, most fruitful and most rewarding investment I could have made for my career. I can’t imagine getting a better education anywhere else. AWAI is like a big, smart family that connects me to a circle of folks who ‘get’ what I do and encourage me to reach for the stars!”
– Pam F.,
Beaufort, SC
You’ll meet top marketers at Job Fair who are ready to hire copywriters like you. They’re all looking for new writers, and one of their spec assignments could be your career-launching control … just as it did for AWAIer Penny T. from Metuchen, NJ.

I’ve attended the last two Bootcamps … and each time I’ve walked away with a new direct-response client.

– Bob R., Newtown, PA
It’s the only place where you can jump-start your career in a matter of days, plus you’ll walk away with the best secrets of some of the biggest names in the direct-response industry.

AWAI Conference Director
P.S. Bootcamp is truly an incredible event. I love being part of it and getting to meet our members. And I’d love to meet you there. Please join us November 3-6th in beautiful Delray Beach, Florida.
“This was a wonderful opportunity to meet the best in the business and to hear success stories from people who only a few years ago were in the same position as myself. Just being in the same room with them was worth the price of Bootcamp. All the people I met, the contacts I made, not to mention the valuable information I got from listening to the masters. Yes, yes, yes … I WILL BE BACK!”
— Jacqueline P., Hollister, California
“I’ve been to the AWAI Bootcamp for the past two years and I wouldn’t miss it for the world. Every year I learn more than the year before. I meet new contacts and greet old friends. But most of all, each year Bootcamp becomes the launching pad for new projects, new clients, and most of all, better copy.”
— Marcella A., Cincinnati, OH
Register Today!“Bootcamp was one of the best experiences of my life. Your speakers were dynamic, their topics were pertinent, and the information was non-stop.

Their comments were very positive and the suggestions they offered definitely improved the copy and style. This was the 'Kick in the Tail' I needed to get serious about my copywriting!”
— Bill A., Durham, NC
“I had a wonderful time at Bootcamp. What impressed me the most was how personable the AWAI staff and speakers were. Though they were busy, they would always take a moment to answer any questions posed by novice Bootcampers, like me. After dealing with my day job for the last week, I'm getting ready to jump into some of the spec assignments. I cannot thank you enough!”
— Cassandra H., Mobile, AL

“By mid-day on day 1 I had already gotten my money's worth. The breadth of the material presented was amazing. I was (and continue to be) blown away by the openness, friendliness and complete availability that the presenters and staff constantly displayed. Where in the world did you find so many experts who are such great teachers and great people?”
