Hi, Funds for Writers Reader,

If you love to write and want to make a great living doing it…

There’s one thing you need to do:

Follow the money.

I know, it sounds almost too simple.

But after nearly 30 years of training writers, it’s the single best piece of advice I can give anyone who wants to turn their love of writing into a real, sustainable income.

My name is Rebecca Matter. 

I’m president of American Writers & Artists Institute, or AWAI — the oldest and most respected training organization for working writers in the world.

Over the past three decades, we’ve helped tens of thousands of writers discover a corner of the writing world most people don’t even know exists.

And it all starts with following the money.

Here’s what I mean.

Most people who dream of making a living as a writer imagine the traditional path — novels, journalism, blogging, freelance articles, screenplays…

And while those paths exist, the writers who follow the money discover something surprising:

The biggest, most reliable paychecks in the writing world don’t come from publishers…

They come from businesses.

Millions of businesses of every size, in every industry, who need skilled writers to help them connect with their customers, tell their stories, and, yes… generate revenue.

For them, writers aren’t just a “nice to have”…

They’re essential.

Because a writer who understands how to engage and move a reader — from curiosity… to interest… to trust… to action — is worth their weight in gold to any business that finds one.

Think about the businesses right in your own town.

Your dentist… the physical therapist… the financial planner down the street…

There may be several of each of them — all doing exactly the same thing.

But often, one of them stands out.

Their website feels warm and welcoming. 

Their emails make you feel like you already know them. 

Their stories make you feel understood… like they get exactly what you’re going through and genuinely want to help.

Those words don’t just magically happen. They’re the work of a skilled business writer!

And here’s the thing about business owners like these:

They’re experts at what they do. They’ve spent years mastering their craft, working with customers. But writing that genuinely connects with people? 

That’s a completely different skill set.

Most don’t have the time or the desire to learn it. And the smart ones know…

It’s far better to seek out writers — like you — who’ve learned to do it.

And they respect that expertise the same way they’d respect any other professional they bring in.

You’re not a “business expense” to them. Your words drive revenues, build customer loyalty, and directly impact the bottom line…

Which is exactly why businesses are more than willing to pay skilled writers top dollar for what they do.

I’ve watched writers in our world earn five figures writing part time helping just a few companies like these.

Others have full-time six-figure careers doing work they genuinely love…

For the best in our world, seven figures is not out of the question!

And the way businesses pay writers?

Some pay per project — anywhere from $500 for a writing project that might take a morning… to $25,000 for a project that might take up to a month.

Others bring writers on retainer… a steady monthly income in exchange for ongoing work. (Yes, most businesses need new writing every month!)

And some of the most lucrative arrangements involve royalties, where a writer gets paid again and again for something they wrote once, sometimes years ago. In fact, in some niches, royalties can add up to hundreds of thousands of dollars over time!

And because you’re not on anyone’s payroll, writers in our world aren’t tied to anyone’s schedule. 

You choose your clients, your projects, and when and where you work…

Which is why it can be just as much “business as usual” for one of our writers to be writing from a streetside cafe in Paris… as from their kitchen table in their home!

It truly is an amazing world for writers… and as someone who loves to write, you deserve to know all about it.

Which is why I’d love for you to join our brand-new Writer’s Life Masterclass coming up — starting Monday, May 4.

It’s a five-day LIVE event… just 90 minutes a day… designed specifically for writers who want to follow the money and build a real writing career.

Here’s a quick glimpse of everything we’ll cover:

Day 1 — We’ll delve deeper into the lucrative business-writing market most writers don’t even know exists… and show you why demand is exploding… and why skilled human writers are more sought-after here than ever, even in the age of AI…

Day 2 — We’ll show you exactly what businesses need writers like you the most… how the money works… and how to choose a niche that aligns with your interests, passions, and experience...

Day 3 — We’ll share the high-value formula and writing secrets that separate writers who struggle from writers who thrive… and show you how to put each one to work immediately…

Day 4 — We’ll map out exactly what it takes to land your first $1,000 as a writer… and give you a momentum-building strategy that keeps the income flowing from there…

Day 5 — We’ll pull everything together and help you create your own personalized roadmap to a well-paid writing career… so you leave knowing exactly what to do next.

Every session will include live Q&A, so you can get your specific questions answered in real time by me and our expert guests.

And yes — every session will be recorded. So if you can’t make a live class, you can catch up on your own time.

And that’s just the training itself…

When you reserve your spot today, you’ll also get a library of amazing bonuses designed to give you a running start…

Including resources to help you zero in on your ideal writing niche… identify your best clients… and land that all-important first paycheck as quickly as possible.
