Are You Confused About Copywriting And Looking For Answers

Copywriting is not what most people think it is. It is not a writer looking at a piece of paper and then simply re-writing the words. Copywriting is anything written that is used to promote something or to dissuade people. The effect of this form of writing is evident each time we open a magazine, turn on the television or surf the internet. Copywriters write the words that sell a thought, idea or product unlike the similar sounding word "copyright" which it is most often confused with.
Web copywriting has increased in the past few years as the popularity in search engines rises. Web copywriting is most often in regards to articles written in a specific manner. The articles are called SEO (search engine optimized) and are specifically written around certain key words. The key words are recognized by the search engine used and then cause the article or product to be displayed in the results. An example would be the words: dog clown suits. Any articles or promotional writing that is on an internet webpage that have those specific words written in sequence would come up as a result.
The use of copywriting does not stop at the internet. Advertising copywriting is a huge industry. Companies rely on copywriters to bring in more customers. An ad that does not make sense is one that consumers will ignore and thus the product or service is ignored. Ads can also be used to sway an audience against an idea. An example is the anti-smoking ads issued by government agencies and private groups to help show the affects of cigarette smoking on the body. The idea of a negative image is used to help keep young people away from smoking.
Thanks to the internet, freelance copywriter positions are opening up each day. Many job boards are finding themselves inundated with copywriting jobs. Most require some form of writing experience but often do not require a degree. Read through the ad carefully and see if you match the requirements.
The next time you watch a television ad, read through a magazine or surf the internet, consider all of the material that pops up at you. Copywriting surrounds us and influences in ways we never even notice. The reason we may pick one brand of sausage over another is because of an ad. If we hear a catchy phrase on a commercial, we remember it all day. All those little things are marketing working on our spending habits.

In poetic literature you will often find a poem that seems to be inviting the reader to participate in an adventure or a love story. The use of ‘you’ is evident in the poetry, but in most cases the reader understands that the poem is written to a third party and the author is simply allowing you the opportunity to read these moments of intimate conversation.
Possessives in poetry, marked by an apostrophe, are a way to understand that the poem is written for and to another person – even when written from a first person perspective.
There is, however, a unique form of writing called Authorial Intrusion that will find the author breaking away from the storyline and speaking directly to the reader. This technique is sometimes used to take a work of fiction and make it seem somehow real. This is accomplished when the storyteller breaks from the action to talk directly with you.
Authorial Intrusion can also be used in poetry and is used extensively in persuasive essays. In fact, in essays Authorial Intrusion is often used as a means of allowing a personal voice of persuasion to assist in the point being argued.
You can see the use of Authorial Intrusions in old detective movies where they step out of the shadows and talk to the audience about what they are thinking. This particular adaptation has been used for comic effect in recent years as it has been used extensively in film parodies.
As film and fiction writing have matured the use of Authorial Intrusion has diminished. Sometimes Authorial Intrusions make a work seem amateurish simply because the audience is informed of an impending scenario just before the scenario plays out. It can come across as redundant and unnecessary.
HereÂ’s a short example of Authorial IntrusionÂ…
“Ben had assumed there was nothing to fear on the plateau, but he didn’t see the grizzly bear approaching from behind.”
This particular example really isnÂ’t needed in the context of the story. If the story is indeed BenÂ’s then allow the reader to experience the emotions Ben has when he makes the surprising discovery.
In the case of fiction writing Authorial Intrusions should be minimal in a worst-case scenario and eliminated altogether in a perfect world. When you choose a Point of View in which to tell the story it is best to allow that voice to remain as consistent as possible throughout the narrative.
