Learn how MyContent can help you generate quality copywriting
What exactly is Copywriting?
Copywriting is a way of transmitting information that has a very specific objective and intention. It is a writing technique focused on persuasion and arousing the reader’s interest. It seeks to generate an action in the user through the power of words.
Content writing must be differentiated from copywriting. In the first case, the intention is to provide knowledge and value to the audience to generate engagement and improve organic traffic. This can be achieved, for example, through the writing of blog articles.
However, the objective of copywriting is to get the audience to take a specific action. Through the use of attractive and persuasive words, the aim is to get the audience to subscribe to the newsletter, purchase a product or access a content. The techniques used through copywriting are what make readers take action.
The difference between the two types is very subtle, but each has very different objectives. However, both are very important and necessary.
Characteristics of a good copywriter
Copywriting is very important in relation to the tone of a brand. While the voice refers to the image and expectations that the brand generates in the user, the tone refers to the way in which the information is expressed and communicated. The tone adapts to the characteristics of the situation and the communication platforms. Therefore, a good copywriter must have good skills to adapt the tone of the brand to the demands of each situation.

Tips to achieve a good copywriting technique
Define the objectives
The first thing to do is to be clear about the objectives of each of the pages, categories, or sections of the website. There can be different purposes: ask for an appointment, make a phone call, request information, fill out a questionnaire, etc. It is important that each word used directs the audience towards that final objective.
Addressing the target audience
It is advisable to define and identify the target audience. In this way, it is easier to empathize and connect with them to understand their needs and show them how we can help them. One of the most helpful techniques to identify the audience is to describe in detail fictitious people who are part of it.
Use the right grammatical person
The most commonly used and appropriate grammatical person is the second-person singular. This is because the reader generally reads alone, so the use of plural forms would not make much sense because they do not connect in the same way with him/her, and he/she does not feel equally identified.
Use action verbs
It is important to incite the reader to act in the direction marked according to the objective. This is achieved through the use of verbs that imply action: analyze, know, identify, draw, search, elaborate, create, etc.
Highlight the benefits
It is important to show what the advantages and benefits of a product or service are in addition to talking about its features. When only the specifications are shown, many times the target audience does not understand what it means. There is a big difference between, for example, showing the details of an order or also providing the advantages of purchasing the product.
