What precisely is copywriting?

Copywriting is the production of text for a specific promotional purpose, usually advertising. It can be a very lucrative means of earning a living as a freelance writer.

What is required in copywriting?

Copywriting is well paid because it requires very specific skills:

  • You must know your audience, if necessary by researching what is likely to appeal in general to those for whom you are writing. Professional advertising agencies spend a fortune on this, identifying just what type of person they are trying to attract but you can do it for practically nothing by using your wits and the internet.

  • You must know your purpose: you have to decide precisely what you are trying to do with the copy; usually it will need to be both informative and persuasive.

  • You must be able to write in a relaxed, personal way, making the reader feel you are speaking directly to them yet still maintaining the highest standards of written English.

  • You must be able to write in a snappy, catchy style that will attract and hold the attention of your reader. This is not as easy as it sounds, as you are competing with a multiplicity of other copy all vying for the attention of the casual browser.
