‭What is Copywriting?‬

‭Definition & Purpose‬

‭Copywriting is the‬‭art and science‬‭of crafting words‬‭that persuade, influence, and motivate‬
‭people to take action. It is used in‬‭marketing, advertising,‬‭and sales‬‭to drive conversions,‬
‭whether that means making a purchase, signing up for a newsletter, or clicking a link. Effective‬
‭copywriting bridges the gap between businesses and their target audience by communicating a‬
‭clear and compelling message.‬

‭How Copywriting Differs from Content Writing‬

‭While both involve writing, copywriting is‬‭conversion-driven‬‭,‬‭whereas content writing focuses on‬
‭educating and engaging‬‭. Here’s how they compare:‬
