Real People – Just Like You –
Share How They
Quit Their Jobs to Work at What They Love
Over the past several years, I've had
the opportunity to review a number of
courses offered by the
American Writers
and Artists Institute (AWAI). I can
tell you without reservation that these
are top notch courses that offer very
real earnings potential and I endorse
them wholeheartedly.
But that’s not all. I've also met the
dedicated and talented staff at their
offices in Delray Beach, Florida, had
the opportunity to attend and speak at
several of their outstanding workshops,
and even hired a number of their program
graduates to do freelance work.
Listen in as I interview both AWAI staff
and Students as part of my
Ask the

How to Become a Freelance Copywriter
Featuring Experts Katie Yeakle, American Writers & Artists Institute and
Krista Jones, Freelance Copywriter
If you can write a simple
letter, you could be in big demand, earning big money, writing just a few
hours a day from anywhere in the world…
Imagine working from a tropical island, a flat in London, or your own cozy
home office. And who better to learn about what it takes to succeed as a
freelance copywriter than the organization that wrote the book on it, the
head of the organization that created the Accelerated Course on Six-Figure
Copywriting and a former environmental scientist who took the course and is
now exceeding her former $80,000 salary.

About Katie Yeakle
As Executive Director of the American
Writers
& Artists Institute, Katie Yeakle works with people from all walks of life
who are looking to leave the rat race behind and live “the writer’s life” as
freelance direct response copywriters and artists. Since 1997, Katie and
AWAI have helped over 10,000 students learn how to successfully launch
freelance writing and graphic design careers and prosper in the $1.8
trillion direct response industry.
About Krista Jones
Krista Jones
worked as an environmental scientist for18 years.
Recognized as a regional expert for preparing risk
assessment reports, her career took off. For five
years, she co-managed a $328 million contract with
the U.S Environmental Protection Agency. And from
1998-2000, Krista started and managed a small
environmental firm that completed work for the U.S.
government and several environmental engineering
firms.
In late 2000, Krista received a letter from the
American Writers and Artists Institute that
completely changed her life. The letter introduced a
home study course that taught people how to become
highly paid freelance copywriters. Fed up with the
restrictions and politics that corporate life can
bring, Krista decided to enroll in the course, and
was able to quit her environmental career in
September 2002. Now instead of crunching numbers,
attending tedious meetings, and fighting traffic,
Krista spends her time writing about products and
services that help improve people’s lives. And best
of all, she finally enjoys the kind of freedom she
has always longed for.
