After all, what does a copywriter really do?

„What does a copywriter do?” is the question I’d like to answer. But firstly, here’s a story.

 

Any woman in her 20s is sure to face a few standard questions at Sunday lunch.

„When are you getting married?”

„When are you going to have a baby?”

„When are you going to get your own house?”

When you’re a copywriter, you have the privilege of being asked an extra question before dessert is served:

„So, what it is that you do again?”

Well, just imagine trying to explain to your 84-year-old grandma how the internet works and what SEO is. 10 minutes into explaining what a webpage is and what it should contain, here comes the best question of them all:

„Oh, okay, so the words you write appear in the newspaper, right?”

Grandma Aurelia isn’t the only one who doesn’t really understand what I do for a living.

So let’s look at what I write about all damn day long.

Let’s say you own a restaurant. It’s a very trendy place but rather new, so not everyone knows it exists. How could you promote it?

Firstly, you create a website. You upload nice pictures of your restaurant. You ask your friends to spread the word on Facebook and LinkedIn. But there’s a problem: there’s no content on your website.

Then you create a Facebook page for your restaurant. You receive a few likes. But here comes another issue: what do you post about? People want to know why they should choose your restaurant but you can’t really explain that to them.

Eventually, you’d like to send a newsletter to all your contacts about what is new on the menu. But… you just can’t get the words to sound right. Because you’re a restaurant owner, not a writer.

Well, here is where I come into the picture. I have no idea about how to run a restaurant but I can write. I can take your information and transform it into a cool story with a meaningful message or a call for action.

So, what does a copywriter do?

They make sure the product or service you want to promote is accurately and beneficially presented. And thus people understand why they should choose you over others.
