Re: AWAI COPYWRITER MONICA DAY SUFFERS COLLATERAL DAMAGE
Posted By: Philip Coleman In Response To: Re: AWAI COPYWRITER MONICA DAY SUFFERS COLLATERAL DAMAGE (Katie Yeakle)

I just want to add my support of AWAI.
A year ago I began on their 6 Figure copywriting course and have, since then, followed a number of their courses.
The result?
While I was already making a living from writing, before taking the AWAI courses, the lessons I learned from them have improved my copywriting hugely.
I am a full time copywriter and I credit AWAI with much of the success I have achieved over the last year. In fact, one course was so good that I began one-on-one coaching with the course writer.
I cannot personally vouch for any individual on the AWAI team, although I have met with nothing but helpfulness and support. I am based in London in the UK so I have not visited their premises nor met any members of staff.
But what I do know is that the writers who regularly work with AWAI, and attend their bootcamps, and write their courses, and associate themselves with AWAI, are some of the best in the business.
And having read a wide range of books and followed a number of courses on the practice of copywriting, I can make a judegement about the quality of the AWAI teaching materials - and my judgement is very positive.
I have recommended AWAI to a number of people and I will continue to do so. If anyone is serious about learning the trade of copywriting I will continue to suggest that they go to the AWAI.
I am not associated with the AWAI in any way. I am simply a satisfied customer who has spent more than a few thousand $ with the AWAI - but have earned far more from the knowledge gained.
Thank you for reading.

FIB - Scams 101 is maintained by Lesley Fountain with WebBBS 5.12.
| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures. Although we may, from time to time, monitor or review discussions, postings and the like on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, we are under no obligation to do so.

You are likewise prohibited from posting any false claims against any company or individual. We will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone posting any such information or materials.

In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
