The Web is exploding …
… and so is the need for freelance copywriters who can write compelling, kick-butt copy for the Web.
SEO … Pay-Per-Click … autoresponders … landing pages … websites … online ads … squeeze pages … e-newsletters … email marketing campaigns … social media … blogs … social networking. The demand for strong web copywriting is relentless — and now you can grab your share of the $65.2 billion spent annually to market products online …
When I started writing copy in the late 1970s, the demand for copy was somewhat modest, because clients didn’t need all that much material written.
You’d write a brochure for the client, maybe an ad or sales letter, and that was pretty much it.
Fortunately, there weren’t a lot of freelance copywriters around back then, so we all had enough work to keep busy.
Now, many new copywriters are entering the field.
But, thanks to the explosive growth of web advertising, they can’t begin to keep up with the unwavering demand for persuasive online copy.
That’s where you come in …
Never before have we had so many opportunities to write copy at our fingertips.
Online marketers call or email me every day asking me to write their web copy.
And, while in many ways the Internet is a blessing …
It can also be a bit of curse.
Especially if your goal is to be a successful web writer.
One expert is telling you the fastest way to make money is by writing Pay-Per-Click (PPC) ads … another says that Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is where you need to be.
Then you read about how much money you could make by writing emails. Should you be focusing on that?
The next day, you pick up a marketing magazine declaring email is dead and social networking has taken over Internet marketing. Or, that the demand for “ghost bloggers” is exploding.
So instead of steadily progressing towards your goals, you get lost in a sea of information overload and paralyzed by indecision.
Sound familiar?
My name is Bob Bly. Over the last several years, I’ve had the good fortune to get to know countless people who have completely transformed their lives through writing copy. And I’ve done it myself, making millions of dollars as a freelance copywriter — once on print, now mostly online.
I’ve also met people who have not succeeded (not yet, anyway). People who find themselves still trapped in run-of-the-mill, 9-to-5 jobs they couldn’t care less about.
As a Board Member of American Writers & Artists Inc. (AWAI), I’m always looking for ways to help more people make the journey from “aspiring” copywriter to lucrative “professional” copywriter faster and easier. Especially so I can refer all those clients I turn away (I can only do so many jobs) to trained web writers who know their stuff.
But, it wasn’t until AWAI launched the weekly advisory service Wealthy Web Writer, and we actually got into the trenches with our fellow web writers, that I saw things through a new set of eyes.
And, that’s when it all became clear to me … why some people have not been able to make the journey yet … and are still stuck in that full-time J-O-B.
While there’s a lot of information available, there really isn’t a solid career roadmap and guide for you to navigate the abundant number of opportunities available to web writers.
There isn’t a place where you can go to find the direction, information, feedback, and ongoing education you require — as well as the motivation, encouragement, and inspiration you need — to not only succeed, but blow the doors off your web-writing career.
That is, until now …
The fastest route to
online copywriting success
The Web is growing like wildflowers — creating an unprecedented demand for trained web writers .
According to an Internet Retailer article, ecommerce sales in the U.S. reached nearly $200 billion last year. That’s billion with a “B.” That’s a 16.1 percent increase over 2010!
Google reported a record one trillion unique URLs on the Web back in 2008 … with the number of individual web pages growing by several billion per day. And, a Netcraft survey conducted in August, 2011, received responses from 463,000,317 sites, with an increased number of sites being found each month since. {GB}
And, U.S. online ad spending is expected to reach $39.5 billion this year, and increase to $62 billion by the year 2016. eMarketer estimates Internet ads will account for nearly 20% of all major media ad dollars spent in the U.S. this year, up from a 17% share in 2010. {MC}

Wealthy Web Writer is a membership club, and to become a member, we’re going to ask you to pay a modest membership fee each month. But, I guarantee you’ll be pleasantly surprised by how little we’re asking you to contribute compared to what we have planned for you and what your membership will do for your career.
I’ll give you all the details in a minute or two …
But first, I want to talk about why the Wealthy Web Writer is qualified to be your online partner.
It comes down to the people. Over the years, we’ve been fortunate enough to partner with some of the top performers in the industry.
People like web guru and Money-Making Website expert Nick Usborne … SEO pioneer Heather Lloyd-Martin … autoresponder wizard Jay White … PPC expert Andrew Palmer … Award-Winning CNN-featured Videographer and Internet Video Market expert Jessica Kizorek … just to name a few.
And, when we pitched this idea to them, they were all so enthusiastic that they committed to participate in any way you need, in order to help you achieve your goals — just as I have.
Being a member here will help to ease that lonely feeling, that fear of making a mistake, that fear of not knowing enough. I want to be a $100,000-per-year copywriter instead of $1,200-a-year copywriter. Wealthy Web Writer will give me what I need to realize my dream and be the woman, the mom, the copywriter I want to be …

So together, we assembled the following success tools for your Wealthy Web Writer membership …
-
Strategic career roadmaps to help guide you in your online career …
A question I often hear from aspiring web writers is, “What is the best online niche to focus on?” Using our roadmaps, you’ll be able to determine your ideal niche based on your personal experience, as well as your strengths and weaknesses.
And then, depending on what niche you choose, you’ll get a step-by-step guide to ensure you’re making all the right moves as you advance in your career.
-
Experts to teach you the latest skills …
Every month, different experts will share their expertise with you. And, as a member, you’ll be setting the agenda. From keyword research and discovery to understanding web analytics … if there’s a topic you want us to cover, let us know, and we’ll set it up. These events will be available to non-members for $79 each. But with your membership, you’ll get them all free.
The connections I've made as a copywriter have been the single biggest factor in growing my career. This website will let me connect with other web writers and share in-the-trenches battle stories, swap tips and best practices, and give and receive feedback from writers in the know. Gaining these connections will pay off many times over through my career.

Timely answers to all your questions …
Whether you’ve just started out, or you’re a seasoned writer, there are bound to be questions you need answered. It could be anything from how much to charge for a particular project to who is the best person to contact at a company you plan on targeting.
If you can’t find the answer, simply send us your question and we’ll answer it in a thorough, accurate, and timely manner. Plus, if appropriate, we’ll add it to the “Questions and Answers” area on our site so others can benefit from your question (and vice versa).
For me, just getting started has been the biggest hurdle. I can't figure out how to actually START! I have seen a few opportunities, but don't feel qualified to even attempt it. Being an ongoing member of the new Wealthy Web Writer website will open new opportunities for me.

Access to an ongoing stream of paid web assignments from some of the top online companies …
With so many talented web writers in one place, it only makes sense that we make it easy for marketers and business owners who need you to be able to find you!
So we’ve built our very own Wealthy Web Writer Job Board. We let companies know that if they need good web writers, this is where they’re gathering. Freelance … contract … part-time … full-time … there are new job opportunities to fit every interest and every need posted on our Job Board regularly.
Plus, as you might expect, we’ll also need a lot of copy written in the days and months ahead. AWAI and Wealthy Web Writer will regularly post web copy assignments as well. It’s a great way to add to your copy portfolio and make some serious money. If you’d like to write copy for us, as a member, you’ll have the inside track.
I often hear from writers who are frustrated with the copywriting information that they're finding online. Although there is a lot of free information about how to become a copywriter, how to write for the Web, etc., it's often outdated, unreliable, or just plain wrong. Additionally, there wasn't any site that provided the latest best-practice information paired with videos, conference calls, and access to industry-leading experts. Until now. I think any writer — whether she's just starting out, or she's been online for years — can benefit from the Wealthy Web Writer site. You'll gain access to a community of people who are rooting for your success — plus best-practice writing information from a source you trust. Your membership is a great investment in you and your business.

A place to meet, get to know, and talk shop with your fellow members …
You’ll also receive a membership at our new Wealthy Web Writer forum where you can meet and interact with your fellow web writers. You’ll be able to discuss issues, get advice, ask questions, etc. Each niche will have its own forum area. So, if you’re looking for information or looking for advice on say, autoresponder copy, you’ll know exactly where to go.

The Wealthy Web Writer Knowledge Library …
Our in-depth and always expanding library of timely articles — written by some of the top writers in the business — will only be a few mouse clicks away. Each and every article will be accurate, informative, and help solve problems, or open your mind up to new ideas. It will be like having your own personal online web copy encyclopedia.
-
The Wealthy Web Writer Multi-Media Library …
Every live event such as a peer review, case study, “State of the Industry” call, etc., will be archived on our website so you can access them at your convenience. This means if you can’t participate in an event for whatever reason, it’s not a problem. Within hours, we’ll add it to the Wealthy Web Writer site so you can listen to it whenever it’s convenient for you. This is especially handy if you’re in the process of breaking into web writing and still holding down a full-time, 9-to-5 job.
-
Ongoing series of tips, techniques, and “how to” information via the 3-Minute Guru …
Do you know what a PURL is? Or how to shrink a graphic without using expensive graphics software? Or how to quickly generate a list of keywords from an existing website? Or how to use HootSuite? You will, once you spend some time with our 3-Minute Gurus, who will actually show you how through online video tutorials.
Plus, if you have something you want to share, we’ll show you how you can easily contribute as a “guest guru.”

And so much more …
To be a part of this community would mean that I wouldn't feel so alone working on something new without any guidance. I would get a sense of camaraderie that I probably wouldn't find anywhere else.

It’s important to note that the peer review sessions, the case study reviews, the career roadmaps, etc., that I talked about a minute ago are only just the beginning.
In a recent survey, you told us some of the things you’d like to see are a copywriting coaching buddy system where you team up with someone to bounce ideas off and exchange feedback on your copy. Our interactive forum provides the perfect medium to find an accountability partner and web writing buddy.
You also told us you would like to see interviews with AWAI members who are now working full-time as web writers. In our live events, we periodically interview your web writers who have met with success.
As the weeks and months go by, we’ll continue adding a whole host of new benefits, information, and events to make your web copy journey even easier.
Let us know what you need …
and we’ll get to work on it
I can’t imagine running my business without being part of this valuable resource.
Pam Foster
Web Copywriter, Oregon
Remember, this is your community. What we’re building here is not something where everyone surrounds an Internet guru and listens while they dish out their wisdom. Everyone is equal here. We value your input.
The minute you sign up, you can start requesting things you’d like us to do that will help you become more proficient at what you do.
If you’d want us to put on more teleseminars about keyword research … landing pages … autoresponder copy … social media tactics … how to get clients, or whatever, let us know and we’ll add it to our “to-do” list.
And, we’re not restricting ourselves to just one teleconference or webinar a month. Most months we have at least three. Some months we have even more! We’re only limited by our imaginations.
You’re in control
Archie Bunker used to tell Edith it's a jungle out there. I think that description suits the Internet very well. I don't need thousands of answers to one question, and am very grateful for Wealthy Web Writer. Most times, I barely get a good grip on one concept before I get hit with a new one. Now that I'm part of Wealthy Web Writer, I can skip all the aggravation and go straight to the source for any answer I need.
Anna Morris
Web Copywriter, California
We’ll provide you with the roadmap based on the niche you choose and you pick the path that best fits you, at the pace you’re comfortable with.
And remember, you’re in complete control.
We’ll make it easy for you to zero in on the information you need to succeed in your specific niche. You control the flow of information.
You pick and choose what’s relevant and will help you progress in your career.
This way, you’ll have access to the information you need without being overwhelmed or paralyzed by it.
I hope you’re excited as I am!
Writing can be a lonely occupation. You can spend all day squinting at 12-point type, trying to squeeze the next word out of your tired brain. If you have a question or get stuck, the only person to ask for help is Google who will give you 100,000 answers … you have to figure out whose advice is the best. Having a one-stop resource that can answer my toughest questions will let me spend less time lost on Google and more time on the fun parts of writing.
Henry Bingaman
Web Copywriter, Pennsylvania
So, how does it sound so far?
Are you pumped and excited?
I hope so.
Our industry itself is really at the beginning stage. With over a trillion unique URLs on the Web, the demand for qualified web writers is pretty much unlimited. {GB}
There’s no better time than right now to plan your focused career path for success on your terms and start living the life you’ve always dreamed of. One where you become an expert, call your own shots, and make as much money as you want — not how much some boss tells you you’re worth.
We’ll help you get there.
And, if you’re already there, we’ll help you become even better at what you do.
As a freelance online writer or copywriter, one can often feel isolated. And when you reach out for information, advice, and support … you don’t know where to turn or whom to trust. Wealthy Web Writer fills that gap. It provides you with resources and support from within a trusted community of experts and peers. Within that community, we can take care of one another. This is golden, because across the Web as a whole, there are too many distractions, too many scams, and too many ways to become disoriented, distracted, and lost. I hope to see you on the inside.
Nick Usborne
Web Guru, Montreal

To be successful, surround yourself with successful people
Before I tell you how much it is, I want to say a few words about the benefit of belonging to a “pay” membership site …
I think you’ll agree that when creating a community like this, it’s key to have it consist of people who are serious about this business and have a strong desire to achieve their goals.
That’s what a pay membership does for you.
It means your colleagues are just as serious about being successful as you are. Like you, they see the value of being part of community to help guide, aid, and motivate them as they progress in their career. They realize that the free information on the Internet can only take them so far … and they are committed to go further.
A Price Point with Great ROI
So, how much will it cost you?
Some membership clubs charge $200 per month to be a member. There are some who charge $500 and upwards per month. With what we’ve got lined up for you, and what we plan to do for you down the road — and what it will mean to your career — I don’t think $200 a month would be an unreasonable price for this.
But, here’s the thing …
Although this kind of motivation, expertise, and support network is priceless, I wanted to make it extremely affordable, so that no one would be left out.
At AWAI, we gauge our success on your success. The more people who are successful as a result of our efforts, the stronger our business. And, because I know Wealthy Web Writer will be the turning point of your career, I want to make absolutely sure you have every opportunity to become a member.
So, first and foremost, our goal was to price this resource so that anyone who understands the value of what we’re trying to do here would have no reason not to join, participate, and prosper from it.
That’s why we’ve offering you a chance to become a Platinum member for only $49 per month … which means, for the cost of dinner for two every month in a mid-range restaurant, you can get the ongoing encouragement, advice, connections, resources, and educational tools you need to start making serious money as a freelance web writer … faster and easier than you ever may have imagined.
Now even if we were only offering ONE $79 teleconference or webinar each month, becoming a member would still be a good deal.
But when you consider that you also get access to,special offers exclusive to members, the Wealthy Web Writer forum, hundreds and hundreds of articles on every imaginable topic, our multi-media library of events, webinars, and 3-Minute Gurus, the Wealthy Web Writer Job Board, etc. — plus the camaraderie and benefits of being part of a vibrant online community, access to some of the most knowledgeable people in our industry, and all the future services we have planned …
… it turns into an exceptional deal.
But we’re didn’t stop there. For a limited time, you can get your first month of access for $1!
Some of what we have waiting for you
Here is just a brief, short-term preview of a few of the events we've got planned for you …
In a transformative teleseminar, "The Fundamental Differences Between a Freelance Job and a Freelance Business," web expert Nick Usborne shares proven strategies on how to choose better clients, seek out higher-paying engagements, increase the scope and profitability of every project you take on, and take active steps to double your income, and more.
To help make sure you're never short of clients, Jessica Kizorek brings you the third part of her "Using Video to Get Clients – How to Use Videos to Promote Yourself" series. And as a Platinum member, of course you’ll have access to the playbacks of the first two parts of this series as well. You’ll have all the information you need to use videos to get clients.
A week later, we’ve got a special chance for writers like you to learn how others differentiate themselves, stand above the crowd, and get seen and heard in the hyper-busy online world. "How to Be Yourself, Stand Above the Crowd, and Attract New Business Like Bears to Honey" will be an entertaining and informative teleseminar that could change the direction of your whole career.
As I think you can see, it's all practical, relevant information and advice that will help boost your income and save you money.
As mentioned, if we decide to open these events up to non-members, we’ll sell them for $79 each. But as a Wealthy Web Writer member, you automatically get access to all three live events, plus the playbacks of Jessica’s series (a $395 value) — absolutely free.
And, remember, you’ll also have access to playbacks of recent business-generating events like Joshua Boswell’s "Three Client-Attracting Strategies for the Faint of Heart," an action plan to help make sure you’re never short of clients. Plus, author and coach C.J. Hayden’s teleseminar Get Clients Now! which tells you how to create an endless stream of clients by doing a few simple things each day.
Keep in mind; this is only a fraction of the benefits you'll receive as a member of the Wealthy Web Writer.
You see, one of the mandates of the Wealthy Web Writer is to always over-deliver on the promises we make you. To constantly delight and surprise you. And, in exchange for your faith in us, in months ahead provide you with a huge return on your investment.
So why not test it out? Experience it. Get a feel for how much easier your life online will be with the Wealthy Web Writer right beside you to support and guide you every step of the way.
We’re not asking for a long-term commitment. If, for any reason, you decide you don’t want to continue as a member, let us know and we’ll stop billing your credit card immediately.
Why not become a Platinum member today?
