I am a freelance writer who works for magazines but I'm tired of making peanuts and would like to take a course in copywriting. I'm considering sending away for the course offered by the American Writers and Artists Institute. it costs $507 and is said to be excellent. They even claim to help their "graduates" get copywriting jobs afterwards. Anyone out there finished the course and got a job through them? Any other at home copywriting courses you want to recommend? I have my first copywriting job lined up and I have no idea what I'm doing.

You can learn what AIWA teaches through various free sources, but they'll structure your learning. I wouldn't bank on them getting you a job though - you have to do that yourself. Some other good sources of info on freelance online writing are:

This source has a good list of books you can read as well - a lot cheaper than $500!
