I Almost Ignored This Copywriting Advice (Then It Changed My Life)
If you enjoy writing and want more freedom, income, and control over your life, here’s a proven (and fun) path to getting there.
I still remember the first day I read a letter from Paul Hollingshead about writing for a living.
I totally didn’t take it seriously. 😂😂😂
And yet here I sit with 18 years of working from home as a paid writer under my belt, 15 of those with six-figures in gross revenue.
(Joke’s on me, Paul! You were right all along.)
I highly recommend you take Paul’s message to heart if you enjoy writing, would like more freedom and income in your life, and want to be part of an amazing group of supportive freelancers.
To your writing success,
Mindy
The #1 Secret to Living a Good, Happy, and Wealth-Filled Life in These Difficult Times
By Paul Hollingshead
Warren Buffett, one of the smartest and most successful businessmen of our time, was asked what he thought was the best investment anyone could make in difficult times.
His answer was fast and simple …
“The most important investment you can make is in yourself.”
That could very well be the best advice Mr. Buffett has ever offered. If ever there were a time to take control of your future, it’s now.
Never before have we faced such perilous times.
A free-falling stock market is jeopardizing the comfortable retirement of millions. Once rock-solid, mainstay companies are struggling to survive. Millions of blue- and white-collar jobs are on the line.
And a lot of experts agree – the worst is yet to come.
But there’s a small group of people who have risen above it all.
They’re folks who don’t have to worry about a free-falling stock market – or if their jobs are going to be there at the end of the day.
In fact, these people don’t even have “jobs” as most people know them.
On a typical day, they’ll wake up, make a cup of coffee, read the paper, maybe go for a run or get a little exercise …
And when they’re good and ready, they’ll saunter over to their laptop – and begin their day.
No alarm clocks buzzing. No drive through rush-hour traffic. No bosses looking over their shoulder.
Heck, they don’t even have to get dressed if they don’t want to.
Yet they have an opportunity to make much more money than the average full-time “work-a-day” Jane …
$50,000.
$100,000.
$200,000.
Some (who choose to spend more time at it) are making $500,000 a year or more.
Better still, they’re making that kind of money doing fun and interesting “work” … using their minds and their creativity, while providing an essential, very-much-in-demand service to a $2.3 trillion (and still growing) industry that’s virtually recession-proof.
And it’s all because they took Mr. Buffett’s good advice long before he gave it:
They made a simple, yet all-powerful, investment in themselves that will pay off for them for the rest of their lives.
I highly recommend you do the same today. Especially today …
But how?
The best and fastest way is to take a good, hard look at the resources offered by our very good friends over at American Writers & Artists Institute (AWAI).
For 29 years now, these folks have been giving fed-up, burned-out rat-racers a much-welcomed “second chance” at fun, creative, challenging – and, yes, high-paying – careers.
More than that, the careers they offer are as much about lifestyle as they are about making a very good income.
Take The AWAI Method™ for Becoming a Skilled, In-Demand Copywriter, one of the most popular programs AWAI offers.
Here’s a work-at-home career where, if you can write in a nice, easy conversational tone – and you’re willing to learn the basic formula for writing a good, effective sales letter – you can make a very nice income from the comfort of your own home.
Many who have taken the AWAI copywriting program have not only been able to leave jobs they hated … but move to places they’ve always dreamed of living: mountains, seaside towns, even different countries altogether! All they need is a laptop and a good internet connection.
And, despite the economy, copywriters are still in very high demand, since they are the engines that drive the $2.3 trillion direct-response industry. Copywriters I talk to say the demand for well-written letters is higher than ever, as marketers tend to mail more often and more aggressively in down markets.
In other words, it’s virtually a recession-proof business!
Plus, the other great thing about mastering the art of copywriting is that it’s a financially valuable skill that will reward you the rest of your life … and give you a source of income well into your retirement years.
What better way to invest in yourself than to learn a skill that could earn you many millions over the course of your lifetime AND let you live your life “boss-free” on your own terms?

Another fast-growing segment of the writing market that offers exciting income and lifestyle opportunities is writing for the web.
Website landing pages, pay-per-click ads, email promotional letters, search engine optimization – these continue to be the buzz-terms for long-standing commerce opportunities in the world today. Anyone who sets out to become an expert in any or all of these areas will forever be in high demand with companies all over the world.
And the timing for this opportunity couldn’t be better. Once a job handed to underlings, smart businesses are now realizing that to be competitive online these days, they need knowledgeable, qualified professionals to create powerful sales-driven web content—beyond what AI can do. As a result, it’s estimated in the U.S. alone, businesses from Fortune 500 companies to local mom-and-pop shops in your hometown spent $395 billion in 2025 on digital content and advertising.
This program lets you do what Mr. Buffett and so many other successful people say is the most important thing anyone can do, especially in the times we’re in:
Take control of your future.
Take back your good life.
Invest in yourself.
I've had to discipline myself to study the AWAI Method and other programs I've purchased because I discovered a while ago that I learn best in live situations, rather than sitting and watching videos on my own. Yet, this is one of the BEST comprehensive programs for learning the skills of good copywriting and well worth the effort and discipline.
