Secrets of Writing for the Business-to-Business Market
Imagine an Untapped, Virtually Unlimited Market for Freelance Copywriters With Almost No Real Competition…
Do you dream of writing for a market where the work is plentiful … the pay scales are generous … the assignments are fascinating … and the competition is scarce? If so, you might want to consider your options as a Business-to-Business copywriter — writing copy that helps businesses sell their products and services to other businesses, rather than to consumers.
The market’s huge — $6.5 trillion to be exact — and B2B companies are often desperate to find skilled copywriters to write for them … writers who understand their needs and can give them clear, concise, compelling copy that motivates the business buyer.
Whether newbie or seasoned pro, if you’re looking for a copywriting market unlike anything you’ve seen or heard of before, you’ll definitely want to check out AWAI’s brand-new program Secrets of Writing for the Business-to-Business Market, written by 10-year B2B copywriter, Steve Slaunwhite.
Steve’s jam-packed this program, covering every aspect of B2B copywriting, including such hot topics as:Why B2B companies need copywriters so badly … and what YOU need to know to get the work How to write copy for all three B2B markets: Fortune 500 companies, midsize companies and small businesses Why you don’t need any technical background or knowledge to handle B2B copywriting assignments with confidence and success 33 little-known techniques for writing more powerful — and more potent — B2B copy How you can make $100,000 a year or more strictly from B2B work or as a complement to your other copywriting projects
And there’s much, much more. Can you imagine what it would be like to write for prestigious Fortune 500 companies and have them pay YOU for your expertise? AWAI can help make this dream a reality.
If you’re not sure, take the quick little quiz below.
You may just find you’re missing out on the writing opportunity that’s perfectly suited to you.
It’s no secret ... Everyone’s different.
Some people love to be in the limelight — the star of the show ... while others prefer the peaceful comfort of a more “anonymous” life.
Some crave attention and recognition while others prefer to be without it.
Some are born to be “shoot-for-the-moon” risk-takers ... while others much prefer the safe route and the security it brings.
It’s the same for copywriters ...
Some of us live to come up with the next “all-or-nothing breakthrough idea” ... put it out there ... pace the floor waiting for the results to come in ... and then revel in the excitement and attention (and cash) a successful promotion can bring.
Imagine ... Making $30,000 ... $50,000 ... $70,000 ... Even $150,000 Per Year Or More - In Just a Few Hours Per Week - With a System That's As Simple As Turning On Your Computer ...

There are thousands of people in your area that need a resume - to get their first job ... to get a better job ... to make more money ... or to get that dream job.
Help Companies Tell Their Stories...Collect $125 – $300 an Hour.
It’s hard to resist a great story.
That’s why we love a good novel, movie or play. And why we’ll watch a classic film over and over again.
But tales do far more than entertain us. Neuroscientists have proven that stories can deeply influence our beliefs and decisions. Mainly because stories appeal to our emotions and our capacity for empathy.
Businesses have caught on to this in a BIG way. They understand the huge role stories play in their sales process. This explains why they’re willing to pay writers $1,250 – $2,000 to draft short stories for them.
I have the system down, so I can complete these projects in 5 – 7 hours. Which means I earn a cool $200 – $300 PER HOUR every time I write one.
That’s at least 2 to 4 times what the average journalist today earns on a story!
Best of all, clients need stories throughout the year. So it becomes a steady stream of work (I’ve written almost 50 of these for one client alone!).
Something a little different ... Forget Writing Letters For Just One Minute ...
Here’s a Way to Use the Persuasion Skills You’re Learning Now to Make Great Money Playing “Santa Claus”
Dear Reader,
This is a little different.
It’s something we’ve been working on and thinking about for quite some time now — ever since we found out about it a few years ago.
It’s a great “alternative” that fits into the “AWAI family” of skill-building resources.
What I mean by that is, it’s not like copywriting, where you have to learn a certain skill before you can have some success with it.
With this, you don’t write sales letters at all.
You basically learn how to fill out some paperwork and, presto, you’re done. (The real “secret” here, as you’ll discover, is in knowing where and whom you send the forms to ... )
Attention Freelance Copywriters ... Share What You Know — and Get Paid for It! You may be able to turn your copywriting knowledge and experience into thousands of dollars in additional income — this year and every year!
In a new e-book, just published by AWAI, I show you how ... step by step!
– Don Hauptman, Copywriter, Critiquer, Consultant, Trainer, Speaker
Think about all the valuable knowledge and experience you possess.
Take it from me. Few people have that level of expertise or specialized skills. There’s a market and a demand for it.
All of this spells opportunity—for you. You can share what you know ... and get paid for it!
