«Return to Blog List Why Smart Writers Excel…
Eleven years ago, I took the plunge.
I left a salaried journalism job to become a freelance marketing copywriter.
I quickly learned that writing skills aren’t all you need to be successful.
You have to know how to market and sell your services as well—something that doesn’t come naturally to most writers.
I’ve learned much along the way, and am still picking up fresh tips.
That’s why I’m excited to share with you details of Copywriting Success Summit 2009 – the online event for writers seeking to grow their businesses.

SO WHAT’S THIS ABOUT?
There are tons of businesses looking for good writers. Yet, most writers just don’t know how to market themselves well.
Last fall, the world’s leading business copywriters came together and shared their insight in a special online event called Copywriting Success Summit 2008. Hundreds of freelance writers attended and transformed their businesses. In fact, 98 percent of the attendees said they’d attend again.
This year, Copywriting Success Summit 2009 will help you fast-track your business growth, attract better leads and win higher-caliber clients-all while earning more money.
I’ll be sharing what I’ve learned, along with many of the world’s top business copywriting superstars, such as Peter Bowerman (Well-Fed Writer author), Steve Slaunwhite (Start & Run a Copywriting Business author), Michael Stelzner (Writing White Papers author), Marcia Yudkin (Persuading on Paper author), Nick Usborne (Net Words author), Chris Garrett (Problogger author), Chris Marlow (the original copywriter’s coach), Pete Savage, and Ed Gandia. Together this “who’s who” team of business copywriters will help you succeed using practical sales and marketing tactics.
Whether you’re a “work from home” copywriter or a “moonlighter” seeking to jump into business copywriting as a career, this event is for you.
And the great news is it’s a live online event you can attend from your home or office (forget about travel expenses).
