What is Copywriting?

Copywriting is creating written text for the purpose of selling products, services and ideas. Wikipedia says, "Copywriting is writing copy for the purpose of advertising or marketing. The copy is meant to persuade someone to buy a product, or influence their beliefs."

Many people confuse copywriting with "copyright" which has to do with the legal rights and protection assigned to a creative work.

Others also say copywriting when they mean "content writing" like writing articles. Content writing is not copywriting and content writers are not copywriters. If someone says, "Go to Elance for work - they need copywriters to write articles," they should have said "they need content writers to write articles."

In the advertising world, there are copywriters that work at ad agencies writing ads for various clients. Usually these are branding or "image" ads, which rely on a catchy slogan or funny idea.

On the other hand, many copywriters write "direct response" ads like long-form sales letters that eschew "image" in favor of pure salesmanship: Presenting a solid sales story about the product and asking for the order. These are the kinds of ads most often used in internet marketing and discussed here.



How To Get Started

Are you just starting out? Here are some threads with advice to brand new copywriters. Many people start by reading a few inexpensive books like "The Ultimate Sales Letter" by Dan Kennedy. Then they might purchase a copywriting course. (Here are 2 lists of copywriting books to check out: Mr. Subtle's Desert Island book list and the list of recommended copywriting books.)

Some decide to work with a mentor who can guide them step by step. It works well and several mentors are listed further down this post--many are Warrior Forum regulars, and you can send them a private message to find out more about their program.

Fantastic research there on your part Joe.

This will save many people a huge amount
of time and will certainly aid many with
their copywriting education.

Here are a couple more threads written by
me specifically towards helping copywriters
new to the business...

And a very good 1000th post it is.

There's now a new scientific laboratory in the wonderful world of copywriting (I think it might be near his local golf course, colloquially known as the "19th Hole").

But it's officially called "The Ditzel Research Institute"

It's great stuff to read.

Awesome list of resources Joe - but you forgot to add yourself to the thought leaders bit ;)

I've learnt a LOT from the resources you often post on the forum, so you should be on it :cool:

I'm not normally stuck for words, but I just woke up and the cobwebs of sleep have not yet cleared...will check back and add something useful here later....:o

arfasaira 24th December 2012 10:01 AM

Re: 1000th Post: Quick Links for New Copywriters
 
Ok guys, as promised I'm back with a slightly clearer head than yesterday :)

We are fast approaching the new year, so apart from the wonderful stuff posted above, here is some advice to start making some money for the new year:

- instead of busting your gut trying to promote affiliate offers which pay little in the way of commissions or trying to come up with your own product, consider licensing a done-for-you business system. You'll get access to ALL the templates, copy, script etc etc and your job is simply to go out and promote and get a huge chunk of the pie

- if you do create your own products, start with asking the market FIRST what they need. Can you spot a gap in the marketplace? Most marketers create a product first and THEN try to market. Big mistake - you'll only prosper where there is a need

- Today I officially partnered with a business who is on target to break 6 figures in less than 6 months. They want to keep me long term - so in 3 months time they're looking to triple my asking price plus give me a commission based on performance. This is the first major breakthrough I've had with an arrangement of this sort. Earning potential is massive. Oh and I still get to keep the clients I already have.

- as a copywriter (especially as a newbie) there's much money to be made in positioning yourself as a niched consultant. Not new to many of you, but I should stress that 90% of newbies trying to make money from copywriting really have no idea and miss this trick.

have an awesomely prosperous new year guys
:)
