The Highly Unusual $3,000 – $7,500 Writing Project I Invented… and Perfected… that Absolutely EVERY Company Needs
“It started as a way to make an easy extra $3,000 every month… But these days I’m making $7,500 or more for the same projects! Now I never want to write anything else!”
Spend a few minutes with me right now, and I’ll show you how to make the same kind of money doing the exact same thing.
When I created this one-of-a-kind writing project 23 years ago, I never imagined just how important it would become…
I had no idea it would be my primary writing service… that I’d be a coveted expert in the eyes of my clients… or that I’d be earning anywhere from $3,000 to $12,000 a month.
Now, just to be clear, I didn’t patent some complicated “computer-generated writing software” or anything like that…
In fact, I originally created this unique writing project just to keep an intern busy.
But once I started showing clients how it could easily bring in tons of new customers… take their business to the next level of success… and even make them millions of dollars… the demand skyrocketed.
Now every client I talk to is interested in having me write one of these for their business. Why? Because they see instantly how valuable it is.
As a result, I’m making a significant income writing these projects, and I’m helping my clients generate a lot more revenue.
See, when I first started, I’d charge $3,000 each time and thought I had hit the jackpot… but these days I’m making $7,500 or more for the exact same amount of work!
And once you know how to do them, it’s not a long or difficult writing project to do.
Each one is usually only around 10 to 20 pages…
And the truth is, by the time I finish talking to my client and gathering the information I need, half the document is already practically written in their own words.
But that’s not even my favorite part…
The best thing is so few people know about it, there’s practically zero competition…
Which means the small handful of writers who are trained to do this special type of writing project could literally make as much money as they want, including a six-figure income… and without spending hours a day typing up long sales letters.
That’s why I’m writing to you today.
I’d like to help you become one of those select few writers.
In this letter, I’ll tell you everything you need to know about getting started with this highly unusual writing project — including the best way to land one client after another — and the fees you can expect to charge once you’re up and running.
Every Business Needs this Key
As simple as it may be to write one, the true value of this document goes WAY beyond the surface level.
You see, in the business world, it’s easy for a company to lose sight of its central message.
With all the marketing channels available these days… from social media to websites, blogs, online marketing, and emails… most businesses just write their marketing pieces one at a time whenever they need them.
They’re writing everything on the fly just to keep up.
So they wind up hiring a lot of different people to write different projects at different times…
And since most of the people they hire are working independently, it’s more like everyone is writing in a vacuum.
The result?
Lots of disjointed copy pieces that, as a whole, are weak, confusing, and even conflicting with each other.
Which is bad for business because customers get so confused, they don’t pay attention to the company’s core sales message.
That means the company loses out two-fold:
- They’ve wasted time and money on advertising and marketing that didn’t work…
- And they’ve lost customers because their readers can’t figure out what the company is all about.
So while not everyone has heard of Key Message Copy Platforms before, whenever I offer one to a client, the answer is almost always, “That’s exactly what we need!”
It even happened this way with AWAI. Not too long ago I was talking to the President of AWAI, Rebecca Matter, and when I told her what I do with Key Message Copy Platforms, she said, “We need one of those!”
In a little bit, I’ll share some stories that show exactly how valuable this simple document can be for clients…
But first I want to show you just how valuable they can be for you.
Why Every Business Loves Key Message Platforms
Before we dive into the nuts and bolts of writing, I’ll introduce you to a more intimate look at what a Key Message Copy Platform is and why a client might want one.
I’ll give you a breakdown of what you need — and don’t need — to be successful with this kind of work.
Then I’ll share…

- How to leverage my decades of trial and error with Key Message Copy Platforms to fast-track your own journey to a six-figure writing career.

Plus, I created a special bonus e-book on how to organize and write Key Message Copy Platforms that you can use for reference throughout the program, so you’ll never feel lost as you absorb all the new material.
Here’s what you’ll learn
Module 1: How to Write Key Message Copy Platforms (Overview)
Each Key Message Copy Platform has a base of 14 sections. In this module, we’ll dive deep into the first four sections — the product tag line, the target market description, the “voice” for the product, and sample headlines.
I’ll show you:

- Why you don’t want to make “clever” product tag lines for your clients — and what you should write instead that’s simpler and will make your customers much happier.

- How to keep your copy “at-a-glance friendly” throughout — and why this is going to make your client fall in love with your work right away.
- Your secret allies in the R&D department and how they can help you. (Here’s a hint: They know the product even better than the marketing team!)
- What to do to give products more personality — and why positioning them in this way boosts the power of market segmentation for your clients.
By the end of Module 2, you’ll be able to deliver the key positioning elements of a Key Message Copy Platform without breaking a sweat… and be well on your way to having your first completed sample.

- How to skip hype and fluff when describing features and benefits, so you can deliver details that really mean something to both your clients and their customers.

- Why the call-to-action section helps your clients — and when you’ll want to skip this section entirely to help yourself.
