The bottom line is this:I’ve pulled out ALL the stops to create a hands-on learning experience that helps you leap over every single obstacle that could possibly keep you from success.I’m not just talking about the top-notch education, experience, and skills you need to be a sought-after web copywriter … which you WILL get, in spades, from some of thepioneering copywriters of our industry.That’s just the first step.I’m also talking about all the “little things” you need to launch a business too.I mean …A complete portfolio of web copy projects — samples of your writing that have been reviewed by experts, polished, and that you’re proud to show potential clients …Your freelancer’s website, which is part of your self-marketing plan and a key part of your portfolio, too …The answer to the question, “Am I good enough to really do this?”Even landing a high-profile client (hint: it’s me!) … working with top copywriters and marketers on a live assignment … and getting paid!I’ve seen all these things trip up copywriters in the past … and I’ve figured out a way to blast through all of them and more.So if you have the drive to succeed …And you want to leapfrog over the learning curve and start writing for a living now …I invite you to come to Austin this coming February with nothing but your dedication and a laptop … work with me and my team for three days … and leave with a complete web copywriting business of your very own.There’s never been a better time to get dedicated and get going, because a HUGE wave of demand for trained web copywriters is coming in fast.Let me explain.Web Copywriting is the Most In–Demand Opportunity For Freelance Writers Since … Well, Ever! (And, it’s About to Get Even BIGGER.)Forrester Research predicts marketers will spend $77 billion on digital marketing in 2016.$77 billion!Numbers like that should get you pumped!It means there’ll be so much DEMAND for knowledgeable web writers in the next several years that there’ll be very little competition.I predict if you get started now … even if you’re a “newbie” web writer today … you’ll be booked solid for weeks at a time.And the faster you can get trained and launch your business …The faster you can get paid the handsome fees web copywriters have come to enjoy. I mean $500 … $1,500 … even $3,500 per project! (I’ll tell you more about them in a minute.)That’s where I come in.See, every February for the past seven years, I’ve met with a group of excited andcommitted up-and-coming copywriters …Put them in a room with the industry’s top web writing and marketing experts …And taught them the skills they need to do the job better than 99% of the people out there.And those writers have gone on to be top-notch freelancers, earning high five-figure and even six-figure incomes … quitting their day jobs … and saying Sayonara! to the workaday life for good.I did it!I’m proud to say that I’m currently a full-time, freelance web copywriter. I took the leap and quit my salaried JOB, and now I’m thoroughly enjoying mywriter’s life.And I trace my success directly back to the 2012 Web Intensive.I was just launching my business, just getting my web copywriting feet wet, when I attended the 2012 Web Intensive. I considered my investment in the Web Intensive to be an investment in my business, in myself … in my future. It did not disappoint.After participating in the sessions and interacting one-to-one with the expert speakers, I walked away from the Web Intensive knowing without a doubt that web copywriting is how I will make a living doing what I love — writing. I walked away with the confidence to claim my status as a Web Copy Specialist and with the absolute certainty that I could make my dream of the writer’s life a reality.In fact, with that confidence, I was able to accelerate my business plan. Instead of the year that I conservatively planned for, I completely replaced my JOB salary with copywriting income within six short months. I’m not looking back and not going back … ever.The 2012 Web Copy Intensive truly launched my freelance web copywriting career. I consider it to be the very foundation of my successful new writer’s life. Thank you, AWAI!I know, learning everything you need to know to be a web copywriter in just three days sounds like a lofty goal.But I’m very confident you can do it — because the past seven generations of Web Copywriting Specialists have done it too. (That’s the title earned by every writer that attends Web Intensive. You’ll hear from some of them as we go along.)This year, I want to challenge you (and myself) to do even better.I want to send you home with not JUST the skills to write powerful web copy that wows your clients …But with a complete business framework in place, ready to launch when you decide to pull the trigger.And I don’t just mean the knowledge to build that framework when you get home. I mean you’ll be ALL SET.What I’ve found, all too often, is that “life” gets in the way and keeps so many promising writers from the lifestyle and financial freedom they deserve. (You may have experienced this yourself already.)But not this time.This year, not even your busy LIFE will have a chance to get in your way.Because if you’re one of the select writers who joins me in Austin, you’re going to have the rare chance to sit down with the industry’s best … learn the ropes … and do the writing (and business building) right then and there.You’ll get the need-to-know tricks for writing engaging content from Brian Clark … then you’ll turn around and give it a shot on your own article or blog post.Heather Lloyd-Martin will give you the tools you need to make optimizing a web page for “the Google” a snap … then get your hands dirty and work with her to optimize a page of your own.You’ll hear Nick Usborne spill all his advanced secrets for writing stellar web copy … then immediately try your hand at a landing page.And, you’ll also learn Nick’s newest techniques for leveraging the social web, so you’ll get to write purposeful social media posts that both engage andpersuade.You’ll discover Jay White’s secret formula for writing emails that “get the click” — then put your hands on the keyboard and create your own.And every single one of the samples you write will be critiqued by an advanced freelancer, who’ll help you polish it before you leave.So by the end of the three days, you’ll be a Web Copy Specialist …And you’ll have the confidence, experience, and samples you need to start finding and accepting clients the moment you get home — and start invoicing for those hefty paychecks!Let me show you exactly how this is going to work — and how you can truly become a working web copywriter in just three days.Learn How to Write Every Type of Web Copy Project — Then Sit Down and Do it!The experts I’ve assembled are all doing what YOU want to do: they’re professional, independent copywriters and marketers who make a very comfortable living doing what they love on their own terms.And they’re widely regarded as THE expert in their field — often the person who defined or even created his or her web specialty.These genius, “A-level” men and women are going to teach you the “up-to-the-minute” best practices for web copy that works today …I’ve challenged each instructor to bring their BEST stuff …The freshest formulas …The most “insanely useful” how-to’s …And their most in-depth, from-the-trenches experience.These masters will compress their decades of experience down into the most essential steps … and train YOU to master THEIR craft.And after they’re done instructing, they’ll get your hands on the keys and train you to write each type of copy live.Then, you’ll have your piece critiqued (privately) then and there, so you walk away with the best samples possible!Get Ready to Dive in to the Six Essential Copy Projects Web Clients Need NOW —Since I want to get you up, running, and confident by the time you leave Austin, I’ve got all hands on deck to walk you through the six unique types of copy your clients are most likely going to need, including …(1) Advanced Landing Pages and Website CopyYour live learning experience will begin with Nick Usborne, who’ll lead you through an advanced session on writing copy for the Web.(Don’t worry — you’ll have mastered the basics before you come; I’ll show you how in a few minutes!)Nick is THE pioneer of copywriting for the Internet — seriously!
