A Simple Formula to Becoming a Successful Copywriter

November 5, 2012 By SMA Staff

For anyone who wants to be a successful copywriter, there’s a lot to consider and some work to be done. Web copywriting can be difficult, and if it’s not done correctly, the results will unfortunately be poor. Copywriting made easy requires you to do the following:

1. Know your audience: If you can’t say who you’re marketing to, how are you supposed to sell them anything? You should have a target market, and when you find one and learn about its needs, you have a better chance of being a successful copywriter.

2. Know your product or service: Like your market, you have to know your product through and through. Placing a few open-ended ideas in your copy can sometimes leave people wanting to find out more, and that can keep them coming back. Being vague, though, just makes it seem like your Web copywriting skills aren’t strong enough to explain your product or service. People won’t want to buy from you if you don’t know what you’re selling.

3. Showcase the value of what you can offer to customers: There aren’t too many truly new products or services out there. So, copywriting made easy requires that you show people why what you’re offering is better and more valuable than what someone else (i.e., your competitor) is offering.

4. Write for your customers, not for yourself: You have your own preferences for the sorts of things you like to read, but you have to anticipate what your customers want to know. Cast your Web copywriting with the correct tone and focus, and customers will respond in a positive way to what you have to say.

5. Keep working on the craft: A successful copywriter writes. A lot. Web copywriting is different from writing intended for print, and practice makes perfect, so it’s very important that you keep writing. That’s true even if your first attempts aren’t as good as you’d hoped.

By taking these steps and following them carefully, over time your Web copywriting skills will improve. You’ll be a successful copywriter, and you’ll see your business grow. Copywriting made easy isn’t a myth, but nothing is free – you still have to take action and work at becoming better to realize optimum business success.
