What are your thoughts on ... AWAI?

Hey,

I recently subscribed to the American Writers & Artists Inc. email list, and I was considering doing the "Accelerated Program for Six-Figure Copywriting" or one of their other programs. I was just curious about whether or not anyone has experiences with AWAI.

Do you think I should do the program if I'm new to copywriting and really want to learn the craft?

Thanks

    From what I hear from experts, a mentor is the best way to go. Then 2nd a copywriting course. Since you really want to learn the craft, Id get my hands on anything I can. Im reading one book at a time, and going to still keep going.

      Thanks. Yeah, I think I'll start with books. I also heard that Paul Hancox's program is good so I may just start with that.

      Yeah I just got finished looking at some other posts and I think I know where I'll start.

      Thanks for the help everyone!

Also, the heavy hitters in the industry (like Robert Bly) endorse and write for AWAI; that was a big vote of confidence for me. Best of all, their Six-Figure Copywriter course is what they've termed a "living course," meaning once you get access to their course, you'll get all the course updates whenever they add new information. And, unlike other online courses, there's no time limit to when you complete the materials, and you'll get live critiques by peer review, and a chance to write spec assignments to practice your skills.

        In other words, I HIGHLY recommend AWAI. Go for it.
        Oh, I didn't know that they will provide provide updates to all previous purchasers (though considering the hefty price tag I paid originally that's a nice gesture).

        I do own the course and was just thinking I would LOVE the update when I saw your note that it has been recently updated, and then I saw your note about the "living course" thing! Yay!

        Thanks so much. Will investigate how to get the updated version
