Carline Anglade-Cole
On AWAI Bootcamp:
“Two big hurdles most aspiring copywriters face:
- Getting known in the industry!
- Finding clients who want to pay!
Bootcamp is the only place I know where you can talk with…hang out with… and NETWORK with real working copywriters in your industry. That connection alone is PRICELESS – but…
… Bootcamp also brings the clients to you! You get face-to-face time with the movers and shakers in the direct mail biz! You get to know them – and more importantly – they’ve got REAL job assignments they can offer you on the spot!
That opportunity alone can launch your career!”
Carline Anglade-Cole is a year older… hopefully wiser… and definitely happier that she’s STILL getting paid well for doing something she loves!
After 12 years in the direct-mail industry working at Phillips Publishing Inc., Carline launched Cole Marketing Solutions, Inc.
When she began her solo copywriting freelance career in 1999 — her goal was simple: Make a decent income and have the flexibility and time to raise her four kids with her firefighter husband, Mickey.
Along the way, she managed to create multi-year controls for leading clients in the health industry, including: Health Resources, True Health, Healthy Directions, Boardroom, Peak Pure & Natural and the Institute of Longevity … got a shot at launching Oprah’s “O Magazine” in the direct-mail arena… and was honored as AWAI’s 2015 Copywriter of Year – the “Academy Awards” of the direct mail industry!
Not too shabby for a mom — and now grandmother of four awesome grandsons — who works in her basement wearing a T-shirt, shorts, and bedroom slippers! Plus, she volunteers many hours each month in church-related activities — as part of a worldwide bible education program.
Recently Carline completed her first-ever virtual seminar to train over 130 copy cubs how to write copy her crazy way – in just 4 weeks! Before the seminar was even over – many of the copy cubs landed paying jobs!
Despite her hectic schedule – Carline still manages to carve chunks of time travel with her family to visit places like Madagascar, Kenya, Italy, France, Spain, Japan, Guatemala, New Zealand, South Africa, Haiti, Jamaica, Sri Lanka, Mexico, Alaska, Hawaii – and some more EXCITING places on the horizon!
Her advice to new writers: Talk your copy before you write a word! Then write copy that connects and helps your prospect – and the money will follow!
