AWAI's course

I would like to know is AWAI's course a good course to invest in if someone want's to start out a career in copywriting.
It cost's $457.00.
I have never done any writng offically for and company, but I feel I have what it takes to be a copywriter.

>It cost's
>writng
>and company

First, learn how to spell. Attention to detail is part of the job description. I suggest a trip to the library to read up on the subject a little first. Free. Excellent ROI on **that** investment.

High,
Thanks for replying, I can spell I just get a little careless with my typing. So you think that would be a good investment.
Is it really true that anyone who just enjoy's writing and are fairly good at it can make it as a copy writer.

I do not care for AWI, they try to sale you OVER PRICED crap that most people can figure out on there own! Here is a wake up call...most Copy writer jobs want writers that have been published and have a BA in Marketing or some other related area. Don't let scam artist try to tell you that ANYBODY can make a ton of money on the internet as a writer...it is not so. Writing is like a lot of other professions, you haft to work your way up the latter. It is a lot of hard work, So I suggest checking out writing courses at your local college then go from there.

I don't know much about AWAI. I do know that most copywriters spell copywriting as one word. Of course, it is not totally incorrect to spell copy writing as two form. It is, however, terribly bad form. Jack Goldenberg, World's Best Unemployed Copywriter

AWAI's course is specific to writing sales letters. It does not teach you a single thing about writing ad or Web content. It is overpriced, but if you can find it on eBay for under $150, it's got some value. I am chuckling a little at one of the "copywriters" about who clearly doesn't know the differences among there/they're/their.

There is lot of opportunities in the field of copywriting at present. Its a good place to write down your talents and make benefits. Copywriting jobs offers a variety of wrok prospectus towards the seekers. Finding out some reviews based on copywriting services will make your way smooth and simple.

All the best :)

There is a lot of opportunities? You should make your copywriter take a course in grammar.

There is an important distinction between writing copy and writing sales copy. I suspect that the above poster who disparaged AWAI may not be aware of this distinction.

If you just want to be a copywriter, then checking out a few books from the library is probably more than sufficient to educate yourself. If you want to make more money by specializing in persuasive copy that sells, the AWAI course is a very worthwhile investment.

If you're going after a new career because you think it will make you rich, it will probably never make you happy. Any writing, whether for sales or entertainment needs to contain an element of passion. Speaking of passion, or compassion, you people are really rough on each other with the spelling - this is basically a forum not an essay or an article. People tend to be more relaxed in writing forums, emails or texting; that's just a fact. I have been working as an administrative legal secretary for all of my life. I have also been writing my fingers to the bone for years, trying to find that exact right thing that makes me smile. When I found copywriting, I knew it was perfect for me, since a lot of my writing is in "conversational" style. I just started AWAI's copywriting course. I love it. Having no formal education, I feel it's something that will definitely help me, and it's great for your resume. I followed their emails for over a year, and when I saw the price was going back up, I took the plunge. I'm confident I can do this, because it's something I'm passionate about. If you think copywriting fits your style, than go for it. The course does the hard sell, which is basically what copywriting is. It feeds to your emotions, telling you how wonderful it is. You have to see through all that, and see it all as a lesson. (And incidentally, copywriting often breaks the rules of English, even spelling)...

Hi there!

Thanks and Have a great day!

If you think "checking out a few books from the library" will turn you into a copywriter, you're kidding yourself.

Learning from books is a start. But experience is what you need. And talent.

I'm thinking about buying the course. Did you complete it & are you now working as a copywriter? Are you making the amounts they talk about in the sales letter? How much time are you spending on the job? How much time did you spend on the course? When you write a sales letter, are you able to be truthful or would your clients prefer that you shade it a bit, or is that something you don't really worry about? Did the course help you with the business end of things, such as finding clients, invoicing & getting paid, and keeping the books? I appreciate any insight you'd feel comfortable sharing, good or bad.

Sounds like a get-rich-quick scheme, too good to be true. Most companies have in-house copywriters. It's much cheaper. I know because I am one. Like any other trade, you have to advertise yourself and get business. Is that easy in today's economy? No. Companies are looking to cut costs. I think these outfits that advertise courses promising vast riches with little effort are preying on the desperate. Don't be fooled.

Yes, companies are looking to cut costs. One of the ways they are doing so is to outsource work formerly done by in house employees to freelance writers, thereby saving cost of health insurance, retirement funds and other expenses of a full time copywriter.
