...Cool Stuff! Yes I am the new guy here. Hi all...I hope you are having fun.

Please allow me to introduce myself...without too much scrutiny on my wanting writing skills... Smile

I have spent the last 15 years is sales and marketing, selling (software and services) for the man/men -- that I didn't care for -- URGH...I digress. It's time to sell for myself now...here, here...hip-hip-hurray, hip-hip-hurray!

I am VERY pleased and excited to participate in the AWAI's promising six figure Copywriting program commingled with Graphic Design Success... and have high expectations for myself and the programs!

...So, today I know next to nothing about graphic design and am a novice Copywriter in-training (started 4 days ago and on chapter 2 of the Accelerated Program for Six Figure Copywriting) and hope my dedication to the programs and 15 years in sales and marketing can KICK-START my Copywriting and Graphic Design career.

-I look forward to networking with as many colleagues as I can whether creating "copy clubs," where we can critique each others copy/graphics or, taking "overflow work" to support my busier counterparts (P.S. Thanks for the idea Katie Yeakle and company... Smile

).

-I feel like I am drinking through the proverbial fire hose right now and haven't quite pieced everything together but I am confident AWAI will spell everything out for me as they have so professionally done thus far.

OK folks, I have rambled on long enough and taken enough of your valuable time here.

I sincerely thank you all for your patience and generosity.

P.S. Quick question...hypothetically if someone got fired from their job and dedicated themself full time to these programs...realistically when could they expect to land their first gig that could launch their Copywriting/Graphic Design career? Not looking for the big bucks to start out (though not counting them out by any means) but realistically enough to pay the bills (i.e. $5K to $10K month)

Sincere regards,
