One of our clients who got BBQ&#8217;d on the &#8220;hot seat&#8221; was Ryan McGrath representing Agora. I got to talking with him and it turns out Agora has a TON of copywriting gigs &#8212; even if you&#8217;re a newbie who has no reputation and hasn&#8217;t figured out all the butts to kiss yet at seminars.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, he sent me a LONG list of job openings.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s like a newbie copywriter&#8217;s wet dream.<\/p>\n<p>If I was a new copywriter I&#8217;d be on this like white on rice.<\/p>\n<p>Seems to me the tests you&#8217;d get to see, the experience you&#8217;d gain, the contacts you&#8217;d make&#8230; would be like getting a 10 year copywriting &#8220;crash course&#8221; in a matter of weeks and months. And, getting freelance opportunities like this is a &#8220;perk&#8221; of being an &#8220;Email Players&#8221; subscriber.<\/p>\n<p>No, don&#8217;t subscribe JUST for that.<\/p>\n<p>(Only a fool would do that, and a few have to their shame&#8230;)<\/p>\n<p>But, if you&#8217;re a freelancer on the fence about subscribing anyway, and want access to this big ol&#8217; fatty list of Agora job openings (and, more importantly, &#8220;fast track&#8221; Ryan McGrath&#8217;s attention when applying), then do this:<\/p>\n<p>1.
