Copywriting
is the process of writing the words that promote
a person, business, opinion, or idea. It may
be used as body copy, slogans, headlines, direct
mail pieces, taglines, jingle lyrics, web content,
television or radio commercial scripts, press
releases, white papers, and other written material
incorporated into advertising media. The main
purpose of writing is to persuade the listener
or reader to act - to
buy a product or subscribe to a certain viewpoint.
Alternatively, copy might also be intended
to dissuade a reader from a particular belief
or action. At Network Creative Services our
copywriters can contribute words and ideas
to print ads, mail-order catalogs, billboards,
commercials, brochures, postcards, online sites,
e-mail, letters and other media.
WRITING FOR THE WEB
Copywriting on the web also involves methods
of writing and utilising wording
to achieve higher rankings in search
engines. Often referred to as content writing,
it includes the strategic placement and repetition
of keywords and keyword phrases on webpages.
As search-engine algorithms get smarter every
day, this search engine optimization (SEO)
copywriting is more and more about writing
for human visitors as well as for search
engines, about offering fluent and readable
content written in a SEO-wise manner.
