Participant Testimonials

Well-Fed Group Coaching!

You've launched (or are getting ready to launch) your new copywriting business using the commercial writing blueprint laid out in The Well-Fed Writer*. You're excited, nervous, maybe even terrified about what's to come. You're trying to get all your writing ducks in a row, but sometimes it feels like you're all alone - one writer against the world. If only you could go someplace to get your commercial freelancing questions answered (no matter how silly you may think they are!), hang out with other writers in the same boat, and build a little community of like-minded freelancers for mutual support and sharing as you forge ahead. If that sounds like you, you might just be perfect candidate for my latest offering...

(*A prerequisite to your participation is having read either the two original "Well-Fed Writer" titles OR the new updated edition. This will ensure everyone's on the same page (as far as commercial freelance writing resources go), and the conversation is on a higher level, so all get the maximum benefit from the program.)

Ask Yourself These Questions:  

• Interested in coaching with me (Peter Bowerman) but not ready to spend $150 an hour for my one-on-one variety?

• New (or relatively new) to commercial writing and seeking some answers, direction and confidence-building?

• Want to make sure you launch your lucrative copywriting business the smartest way possible?

• Like the idea of "rubbing shoulders" and sharing ideas, concerns and strategies with a small group (12) of other writers in a similar start-up position? 

Here's the Scoop (And note the NEW enhancement below):

• Four (4) 90-minute (NEW: Started as 60, then went to 75 through series #7) teleconference sessions for four consecutive weeks with me (PB) as host/moderator (read my one-on-one coaching testimonials). First session is 2 hours (to accommodate introductions/"housekeeping" details) 

• Enrollment limited to 12 attendees (minimum of 8 to proceed)

• Call in from the comfort of your own home/office

• All calls recorded for post-call download (perfect for later review OR if you know you'll miss a session; we'll be using www.TalkShoe.com)

• NEW: Full Q&A summary (writeup of all attendees' five questions with answers; see details on questions below) will be sent to all attendees after final session.

• The opportunity to discuss issues common to starting a commercial freelance copywriting business, both with me and other writers in the same boat

• COST: $299 for four sessions/recordings/Q&A summary (paid via PayPal)

Given the opportunity to get your nagging commercial writing concerns answered and your confidence boosted, not to mention the fellowship and sharing with your copywriting colleagues, AND the recordings and Q&A summary, $299 is a small price to pay. Here's what past participants had to say...

"What's the Format?"

Since this is YOUR time, I want you to get your questions answered and your "bugaboos" on the table. As such, we won't have a set agenda. That said, in order to have some structure, I'd ask that once you enroll, you send me five (5) commercial writing-related topics/questions you'd like addressed. I'll look for overlap in the responses and we'll dive first into those issues that came up again and again. As we progress through the sessions, we'll get a good rhythm going that will drive the content of the remaining sessions.

STAY TUNED FOR THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE NEXT GROUP COACHING PROGRAM!  

NOTIFY ME!

Want to be added to a waiting list and notified when I announce the next program (Fall 2012, in all likelihood), email me here.   

"I'm Sold! What's Next?"

1) Email me to confirm space availability.

2) Once space availability is confirmed, go ahead and make your $299 payment via PayPal (money sent to peter@wellfedwriter.com). In the Notes section of your PayPal payment, include the email address you'd like to use during the program, along with your city and state (or city/country if outside U.S.).

3) Send me the five (5) concerns/questions you want addressed (this needs to be done by two weeks before the first session). NOTE: You'll be able to ask as many more as you want during the series, but these five will be the ones that will be formally answered and included in the Q&A summary you'll receive at the end of the series.

QUESTION GUIDELINES: Please, no four-part questions or incredibly broad questions (like, "What do I have to do to get started?") or "best" questions (like, "What's the best way to land new clients?"). There's rarely a "best" way; more often than not, there are any number of good ways, and hunting for a "best" way is a waste of time.  

4) Approximately one week prior to the first session, I'll send out all the "housekeeping" details for the series, as well as full call-in instructions. 

Questions? Concerns? Ask me here.
