Copywriting and Content Writing: Key Difference
It is easy to confuse the concepts of content writing and copywriting when approaching digital marketing. However, they are not the same thing though they both cross paths with each other.
What is Content Writing?
Content writing is a generic digital marketing term that refers to the process of developing textual content for marketing purposes. It requires planning, editing, proofreading, and publishing with the aim of either informing, entertaining, or educating a particular audience.
Content writing may include blog articles, ebooks, case studies, scripts for videos, press releases, and much more.
What is Copywriting?
Copywriting can be compared to rhetoric; it is a form of content writing but with the purpose of persuasion.
Copywriting as a high-value skill is relatively quite different from content writing. It is a powerful sale technique that adds an immerse force to any content development. It is both an art and science with a major focus on convincing the audience to take a particular set of actions.
Just like a salesman will persuade a customer to make a buying decision, a content writer’s main goal is to persuade the audience with “power words” to make a buying decision or take a particular set of activities that a brand desire.
A content writer service/skill is needed in an advertisement, sales copy, billboards, and anywhere that the aim is to persuade an audience to take a particular set of actions.
Key Difference
