Dear Reader,
Have you seen this ad before in an issue of Writers Digest?
“I finally found a way to make a living as a writer.”
I’m averaging about $150 an hour and I only work a few hours each morning, leaving me with most of the day to pursue my first love: Fiction. Here’s how you can learn the secrets of this little-known, lucrative business
Well the ad clearly needs updating. What was once a “little-known” market, has since become ever-popular among writers.
Maybe it’s because the demand for copywriters is so huge.
Maybe it’s because copywriters on average can pull in quite a large chunk of change compared to other writers.
But whatever it is, the word is out: The best way to make a living as a writer is to become a freelance copywriter.
As a copywriter you set your own hours, live wherever you please, and spend as much time as you like writing … at the beach, in the mountains, in an apartment in Paris, London … wherever you choose to be.
And despite the economy, copywriters are still in very high demand, since they are the engines that drive the $2.7 trillion direct response industry. Copywriters I talk to say the demand for well-written letters is higher than ever, as marketers tend to mail more often and more aggressively in down markets.
In other words, it’s virtually a recession-proof writing career!
All you need to do is learn the simple letter writing skills that are necessary to become an effective copywriter … skills that could have you earning a substantial, or even a very substantial, income.
It’s Actually Possible to Become Wealthy As a Writer
The ad above typically links to a letter from Beth Erickson, a copywriter who went from earning $3.50 as a tailor for every trouser hem she finished, to earning well over $150 an hour writing copy. (Not to mention publishing five books!)
Along with an inspiring story, her letter introduces you to the world’s best home-study program for learning the art and science of direct-mail copywriting, and is recommended by some of the greatest copywriters around — like Bob Bly, Herschell Gordon Lewis, Don Hauptman, and Nick Usborne, just to name a few.
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 home or anywhere they choose to write.
Is This Program For Real?
Every week I get calls and emails from Writers Digest readers, asking me if the program is for real …
They’re skeptical at first when after reading all the hype. But it only takes me a few minutes to ease their fears. I simply show them the long list of people who are achieving great success as copywriters, the industry experts who recommend the program to their own readers, our impeccable status with the Better Business Bureau, and the line-up of great resources a budding copywriter needs to succeed.
If you want to become a freelance copywriter, you should check out this program.
I personally know the people behind this program (I’m one of them!) and I can tell you that it’s real … it works … and if you’re looking to change careers or even earn some extra writing income on the side then I think you should give it a shot.
