Let's start with the basics. What exactly is copywriting?
Copywriting is the words used in advertisements, TV commercials,
and brochures.
Whenever a firm promotes itself (through a press release,
a leaflet or a newsletter), it needs a copywriter.
And online, businesses need copywriters to write their promotional
e-mails and web pages.
Thats why copywriting is everywhere - on big posters, local
newspaper ads, on the net, and in every clever slogan.
Copywriting is probably the most creative and demanding branch
of writing. You start with a blank sheet of paper. You may
have only a couple of days to meet the clients deadline. And
your work could be read by millions of people.
Who needs copywriters?
The market is vast. Every business, small and large, has
to promote itself. Every company needs leaflets, direct mail
letters or web pages. And every new product needs a pack that
will entice us to buy it.
These days all organisations need to communicate. That includes
hospitals, local authorities, charities and small businesses.
So the opportunities for the copywriter are infinite.
And because organisations constantly alter, their literature
and ads need regularly changing, too. That keeps us copywriters
busy!
What copywriting isn't!
Copywriting is different from copyright. Copyright
is about owning the rights to a book, play or picture. Confusing,
huh?
