In my Copywriting Job Description- 3 New Ways to Earn Millions post, I'll talk about the best profession for people aspiring to earn from their home.

The best part?

It isn't too hard to learn.

Ready to dive into the multi-million industry, that is here decades and is super young in the same time?

Let me guide though the oftentimes, misleading information on copywriting job description.

What is Copywriting?

Copywriting is highly valuable skill.

Once mastered it can take care of all of your expenses.

Not only that, though.

In fact, it can make you millionaire.

But what actually Copywriting is?

While there are many definitions, I like the one from Glenn Fisher, who describes it simply as: language used, to persuade people to do certain action.

While that might sound a bit aggressive for some, it is something what you doing your everyday life too.

You do persuade your life partner to watch a movie with you.

Maybe your kids, won't go to bed, so you need to find the right words, to influence them for this action .The same does copywriter, influence people to do certain actions.

In case, you are passionate about language, writing and marketing, this profession, could be right for you.

When David Ogilvy, the grand father of copy for advertising, started, there was no internet, nor SEO.

Considering he was highly successful in the "non"internet era", the online copy isn't the only one out there. Therefore there are more options, but also more choices to be made.

Which way would you go?

What is Copywriting Job Description?

In general this differs per job.

That also depends if you are going to work for small business, big corporation or for your own business.

Some very general copywriting job description looks like this.

Then again, you really need to look for specificity of the task.

As copywriter you could be responsible for several tasks. Ranging from creating email marketing campaign to sales copy. However if you become an expert in specific copywriting, you could market yourself much higher on job market.

Read below which (main) types of Copywriting you might come across.

Types of Copywriting

In general, I would divide copywriting in 3 biggest (and the most relevant) areas.

According to your knowledge or interest, you could choose which one is the best for you.

Please, be aware that I am not going to discuss if the employment, freelancing or in-house options in detail.

This differentiation is based on the content rather than on the form.

Also this post is not about tips on improving copywriting. If you are searching for tips how to improve your copy you can find it in my earlier post.

SEO Copywriting

Firstly, let's talk about the newest one.

SEO Copywriting is young compare to direct response copywriting for instance, and if you are blogger, it will be closest to you.

Why?

Because most of the bloggers came across a SEO.

Some are making huge revenue, solely on free traffic and their content being SEO optimised.

Good news for you is, that in case you belong to this group, you could make extra income as: a SEO copywriter.

There is just one SEO copywritng course I can recommend at this moment.

While I could write entire post about it, per definition SEO copywriting is :

"the practice of producing keyword-optimised content that’s designed to appeal to human users and search engine algorithms"

In other words:

SEO copywriting is an art of writing content that Google can understand.

And, at the same time, that content needs to be the type of content that people want to read, link and share.

Give it a real life example, SEO Copywriting is writing an online content, ad copy or social media posts in such a way that will make people "stuck" to the screen.

In the best case scenario, they will take an action.

Technical Copywriting

When I was younger I hated TECHNICAL WRITING.

(Back then I really haven't had idea I will once write content about it -;)

Even though, in reality it is less technical as it sounds.

Here belongs any type of copy that goes in-depth.

Think on :

e-books
white papers
in-depth blog posts/how to

While in many cases technical copywriting is connected with other content activity, there are some copywriters concentrating purely on technical copywriting.

Selling e-books can be for instance very lucrative if you find narrow niche and use the right tools.

(Important to mention is, that even if you decide make your income purely on writing and selling e-books, you still would need extra skills in the email marketing for instance)

Direct Response Copywriting

Lastly, there is the oldest one of copywriting.

Direct response copywriting is basically any type of copy, that prompts your audience to make action directly.

As previously mentioned, copy isn't just the internet.

With direct response copywriting the usage is much brighter.

Do you remember some old coca-cola commercials?

Many of them were indirect.

Their purpose was to make awareness of the brand.

On the other hand, you had commercial with intention to make a purchase straight away.

As a great example are t the TV shopping type of promotions displayed late in the night.

As you might sense, DRC uses multiple devices.

Internet, TV, newspapers or magazines, they all use direct response copywriting.

Did the Copywriting Job Description hooked you?

If you master this "crazy"skill, you can really become millionaire.

You can be even physically disabled. Great thing is, that in many cases you don't even need a degree.

Considering the lack of advertising schools, the best way to learn copywriting is from courses.

(In case you prefer books, this one is insanely good for starters)

When you are searching for Copywriting job description oftentimes, you will find some discouraging ads, where (small) business owners want next to your copywriting skills bunch of other stuff, like following:

web design
social marketing campaigns
creating content
responding to comments and interact directly with customers

Fair to say is that small businesses really look for "multi-skilled" individuals rather than experts.

On the other hand it should be said that as: copywriter, you really don't and shouldn't be asked to cover multiple roles.

If you are irritated by these ads, you have two choices:

a) become an expert at one of the copywriting sub-niches (examples are above) and then market yourself to some big companies (the earnings here can be anything from 30k to 65k at junior level)

b) start your own business where you will be (most likely) covering multiple roles as well, but just at the beginning. Because if you will drive your business effectively, you will not need to actually "create a content"

Click here if you think I talk insane and think you can't make living with your business, I will prove you wrong

I hope I gave you more insight into Copywriting Job Description and into the types of Copywriting that are out there. If you have any questions, or concerns leave them below and I will be more than happy to answer them.
