✍️ Copywriter:
Writes to sell. Their words grab attention, spark emotion, and make you hit “Buy Now” or “Subscribe.” Think ads, landing pages, email promos. They’re the persuasive ninjas of marketing.

📝 Content Writer:
Writes to educate and build trust. Their words inform, inspire and keep your audience coming back for more. Think blogs, guides, social posts. They’re the relationship builders.

While a good copywriter can do both copy and content, it helps to hire a specialist depending on what your needs are (i.e a content writer for blogs and articles vs a copywriter for landing pages and promos)
Before you start writing that caption, email or la Before you start writing that caption, email or landing page… ask yourself these 3 questions:

1️⃣ Who are you writing to? (The more specific, the best)
2️⃣ What do you want them to do? (Click? Buy? DM you?)
3️⃣ How does your offer benefit them? (Spoiler: “I worked really hard on this” is not a benefit)
