It has, to a large degree, changed the world of marketing and become a huge part of indirect sales, so it\u2019s time to stop confusing it with copyrights or (exclusively) writing jingles. Today we are busting some myths about copywriting and hopefully get you familiar with this creative, but demanding job.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Copywriting \u2260 copyright<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Copywriting, except for the similar pronunciation, has nothing to do with copyrights or author\u2019s right. It is a process of writing copy, a text meant to be used in marketing purposes. That includes blog posts, web page content, social media posts, ads\u2019 copy, press releases and other marketing materials. The copy should be understandable, interesting, relevant to the audience and without grammatical and spelling mistakes. Also, you have to adapt you posts and copy to all social media, so it\u2019s important to find a person (copywriter) who understands that. He or she will then modify the copy for the publishing platform, and simultaneously make sure that your message stays the same. It doesn\u2019t sound so easy anymore, does it, huh? That brings us to the next myth on our list.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Anyone can be a copywriter \u2013 you just mash up a few sentences, sprinkle it with adjectives and that\u2019s it<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Well, we wouldn\u2019t agree. Copy doesn\u2019t always have to be lengthy, but no matter what, it requires some preparation and time. Besides, if someone can write a book, that doesn\u2019t automatically mean that (s)he would be a good copywriter and vice versa. Cumulating words with no sense is also a big \u201cno-no\u201d and does nothing for your copy. You have to put in the effort and get to know your audience in order to get their attention and create an emotional bond.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The more pretentious words I use, the better the copy! <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Wrong. It\u2019s not an essay nor a science paper. Of course it doesn\u2019t mean you should use the vocabulary of an 8-year-old, but using flashy words just to make someone think that you are an expert will not do any good for you. At least not in this business. The truth is that a real expert will explain the most complicated things in a very understandable way. Your copy should be clear, complicated and pretentious words and expression make it, well, not so clear. Because of that, you lose your audience, which means that you lose potential clients as well.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Longer copy = better copy = more keywords = better Google ranking<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Nope. Longer text doesn\u2019t necessarily mean better Google ranking. Just follow this very simple and clear rule: \u201cIf you don\u2019t have anything smart to say, just don\u2019t say it\u201d. Lengthy text doesn\u2019t imply a better copy. \u00a0In today\u2019s world, 80% of people will read only the title and most frequently \u2013 give up on reading. It goes to show importance of the title. Length of the copy is also quite important. The key is not to over-do it. Depending on the type of copy,\u00a0you should provide your audience with enough relevant information, and not to bury them with a bunch of unhelpful data. Moreover, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchenginejournal.com\/google-algorithms-work-together\/201226\/\">Google algorithms<\/a> have become a lot smarter and they will recognize you slamming on keywords with no purpose and will penalize it. Simply said, if Google discovers that your content is not of high-quality and doesn\u2019t provide users with what they are looking for, you will end up far more poorly ranked than you\u2019ve ever imagined.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10077\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sinonim.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/google_ranking_copywriting-768x269-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"269\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sinonim.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/google_ranking_copywriting-768x269-2.png 768w, https:\/\/www.sinonim.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/google_ranking_copywriting-768x269-2-300x105.png 300w, https:\/\/www.sinonim.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/google_ranking_copywriting-768x269-2-24x8.png 24w, https:\/\/www.sinonim.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/google_ranking_copywriting-768x269-2-36x13.png 36w, https:\/\/www.sinonim.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/google_ranking_copywriting-768x269-2-48x17.png 48w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The purpose of copywriting is to establish a relationship with your target audience. You want to inform, entertain and educate them, but also make sure that they find out why exactly is your product\/service right for them.\u00a0 Do your due diligence before copywriting. Research the topic and your client, use relevant sources and all available data, create a marketing persona and don\u2019t forget that you write for real people, not the Google algorithm. If you do your job right and create a good marketing strategy, your audience will recognize your work and high-quality content and rank you on the top of a search engine.<\/p>\n<p>If you are seeking an opportunity as a copywriter, be prepared for (constructive) criticism because there will be some, for sure. Learn every day, get informed, write and don\u2019t forget to enjoy it.<\/p>\n<p>And for the ones who are in need of this fantastic persona called copywriter, we have the perfect team to help you out!
