The Stars Come Out for the Copywriting Success Summit

Ok. You know me. I don’t spam. I don’t sell. I don’t do a heck of a lot of product reviews here. I don’t even pimp my ebook much. The reason for this is because there aren’t enough products or services I believe in enough to dedicate a whole blog post. Sure, I’ll put banners in the side bar for a more subtle approach, but in your face selling isn’t my style. I like to think that’s the reason you like us here so much.

I have a sales pitch for you today, one that will lead to an affiliate link. However, since everyone and his brother offer me affiliate links and I don’t take them up on it, I hope you’ll understand that this is something I believe in. I wouldn’t recommend you spend your hard earned money on this if I didn’t absolutely think it would benefit you in your freelance writing career.

This is no mere podcast. It’s a summit. Live Q & A’s, networking, community, workshops – it’s all there. This is perfect for anyone who doesn’t wish to attend a full fledged conference, but would like to partake in the learning.

The Copywriting Success Summit begins on October 6th. For a limited time, you can get $200 off the price, but the early bird special is only good for the next 30 days.

Now. I won’t b.s. you and pretend this summit is inexpensive, because it’s not. I’ve been monetizing this blog long enough to know the FWJ community doesn’t like spending money. I’ll even go as far as to say most of you will take a look at the almost $500 price tag and move on (but don’t go until you see the discounted price!). That’s fine, I get it and there are no hard feelings.  For those of you who wish to keep reading, compare this summit to the going rate at a live event, including travel and lodging, and you’ll find you’re getting a bargain.

Let me tell you a little more about the Copywriting Success Summit.

We talk often about finding the high paying freelance writing jobs. However, that’s not necessarily going to happen without good tools and good marketing. The Copywriting Success Summit will help you with both. We’re not talking about web content or keyword writing. We’re not talking about newspapers and magazines. We’re not talking about blogging. We’re talking about copywriting. The kind of writing the big, high paying brands use to sell their products and services. Ever wonder what the businesses with big budgets pay their writers? Thousands of dollars for a single sales brochure or letter. Even lower paying copywriters typically earn $50 – $150 per hour.

Sounds good, right?

You’ll also learn:

• How to grow your business during tough times.
• How to create a marketing plan that will attract the high paying clients
• How to use social media to gain exposure
• How to convert an “inquiry” into a lucrative contract.
• How to create a direct marketing campaign.
• How to grow a side business with products such as courses and books.

Last year 98% of those in attendance said they’d come back again. Sounds to me like they got a little something out of it.

If you’ve been looking to take some classes, invest in a seminar or further advance your freelance writing career, I hope you’ll give the Copywriting Success Summit some consideration. I wouldn’t talk about it here if I didn’t think you’d get the bang for your buck.
