What Exactly Is Copywriting?

Now, typically when people hear copywriting, they think of "copyright." Copywriting and Copyright are two separate things. Copyright is what helps people protect their businesses and products from theft. Copywriting on the other hand is what we are going to go over in this blog! Copywriting is writing all things marketing or advertising material for a company or product.

Everything you see in an advertisement, billboard, piece of mail, etc. is an example of copy written by another person or group of people. Not only can copy be physical pieces of writing, but copywriting also falls under the categories of blogs and newsletters! Copy is all over the place; it is almost unavoidable in today's world!

Should I Be Publishing Blogs?

If you are a small business owner, the short answer to if you should have a blog or not is yes. You absolutely should have a blog on your company's website. There are so many benefits to adding a blog section to your website: views, providing clients, customers, and prospects with valuable information, and more.

Should I Be Writing Monthly Newsletters?

Copywriting is many things, but in terms of social media and email marketing, writing newsletters are at the top of the list when it comes to which are the best ways to write copy and market yourself. The answer to this question is also yes. You should be writing newsletters and providing your prospects, clients, and past clients updates on your business. Keep your name in front of their eyes as much as you can. You WILL get marked as spam by some people, but that is just how the world works these days. If you are constantly providing your readers with valuable information that they can take and utilize themselves, you are bound for success in the copywriting sector of your business.

Right now, more people are at home spending more time on their computers and phones. Why not put your name and brand right in their inbox? Your newsletter should be sent out monthly. Sending out a monthly newsletter not only updates your clients and prospects with what is going on within your business (think virtual events, webinars, trending articles, recipes, etc.). but it also shows your clients and prospects that you care enough to keep them informed on what you feel is most important right now in a time like this.

Importance of Promoting Your Writing on Social

The effects so far of COVID-19 have been huge on businesses all over the United States, and one of the best ways to make your business thrive is by promoting your blog on social media. As I mentioned before, one of the main online sectors of copywriting is blog writing, and it does not have to be complicated! In fact, we will even write your blogs FOR you.

Promoting your blog on social media is key to driving traffic to your website and eventually growing your presence online. Writing your blog is one thing, but it is best if you continue to bring attention to your blogs. Make sure each of your blogs includes a visual - maybe a branded graphic with the blog title on it or even a short video introduction. We can tell you all about why you should be using websites like Canva to achieve a blog graphic. Read all about using Canva in your business here.

Once you have created an accompanying visual for your blog, you need to get it posted to your website and posted onto social media! Unless you prefer to post to only specific platforms, feel free to post your blog on all platforms that your company has accounts for. This way, more eyes are on your brand, and more traffic comes to your website. With more traffic coming to your website, you increase your overall brand awareness and can even generate clients or customers based on just ONE blog post. Now, imagine if you continuously write blogs and post about them. Even more brand awareness, and even more chances to gain new clients and customers.

Other Forms of Copywriting

As mentioned before, copywriting can be in the form of not only blogs and newsletters but copy also lies within the forms of social media advertisements and posts. The copy for your ads should be short and concise, while strong and delivers a strong message. Your audience will quickly scroll past it if it does not grab their attention, so it is important to make sure it is attention-grabbing, too.

Keep your audience in mind with every word you write. If you are writing something that will not appeal to them, they will continue to scroll down their feed. You do it, too, with ads and copy you do not care to read! Why wouldn't your audience do the same? Because your copy going forward grabs their attention, hooks them in, and drives them to your website. That's why!
