Copywriting concentrates on persuading potential customers to take some actions, such as signing up for newsletters or availing of a product or service. It uses persuasive language and powerful calls to action to get attention. Examples of copywriting include print and online advertisements, social media ads, and promotional emails. Having a great understanding of sales techniques can greatly boost the efficiency of a copy.
Meanwhile, content writing is about teaching and engaging the audience by giving relevant information, insights, and so on. It often takes the form of articles, blog posts, how-to guides, and so on. Content writers will establish trust and connection with their target audience, which attracts them to come back for more info. In addition, a good understanding of SEO is indispensable for content writers because it improves the exposure of their work on search engines, which results in better traffic.
