What is Copywriting - The No1 Guide on the Internet!
In this article we're going to look at one of the most common questions I get to my website which is "what is copywriting"?
I think a lot of people are looking for information on copywriting because it seems like a very glamorous career where you work from home and get paid millions of dollars per word you write.
But to be honest copywriting is though when you get started and very few people ever make the big bucks.
So what is copywriting?
Simply put copywriting is the process of creating words that persuade people to take a certain action.
Very often that action will be to buy a product in the form of advertising, but it can also be used to gain new potential customer or get people to join a mailing list.
So let's look at some of the main duties of a copywriter:
* Market Research - A copywriter needs to know how the market talks and what pain they are feeling so that he can write words that connect with them.
* A/B Testing - This is the process where the copywriter will write two versions of his work and see which one the market will respond to best.
* Writing Headlines and Slogans - Headlines are the most important part of any copy because if you do not capture the attention of your reader you will loose the sale.
* Writing Scripts for TV and Radio Ads - Copywriting is not always in print and you may often be asked to take on all kinds of other work.
* On Time - One of the biggest assets to any copywriter is being able to stay organized on a project and deliver work on time. This will make your clients love you.
