Why is copywriting needed?

  • Increase profit: Professionally written text can attract more customers than intuitively created text.
  • Convey the right message: Effective text helps the reader understand the essence of the information.

The difference between copywriting and rewriting

It is important to note that copywriting is often confused with rewriting, which involves creating new text based on existing sources.

Diversity of texts

Here are some examples of texts created by copywriters:

  • Texts for websites and landing pages

  • Email newsletters to maintain contact with clients
  • Commercial proposals tailored to specific clients
  • Social media content that entertains and informs

  • Media texts, such as press releases

How to create commercial text?

Commercial texts should attract attention and prompt action. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to:

  • Analyze the target audience: understand what they need and how the product can solve their problems.
  • Conduct a competitor analysis: learn how they attract customers and how you can stand out.
  • Evaluate the product: identify its strengths and weaknesses to present it effectively in the text.
  • Write a draft: use the gathered information to create a text that will be interesting to the target audience.
  • Consider SEO requirements: incorporate keywords and optimize the text structure.
  • Add a call to action (CTA): clearly indicate what the reader should do after reading the text.

Editing the text

After writing a draft, it is important to conduct thorough editing, which includes:

  • Fact-checking: ensure the accuracy of all data to avoid misleading the reader.
  • Removing fluff: keep only the content that truly matters.
  • Simplifying the text: break complex sentences into shorter and more accessible ones.
  • Correcting errors: fix grammatical and stylistic mistakes.
  • Developing visual design: add illustrations that help better convey the text.
