A Foundation on The Fundamentals of Copywriting - Are You Lazy or Scared?

There are perhaps hundreds of copywriting principles scattered all over the place, but most people usually just learn the fundamentals and no more. If you want to learn this skill, then you have to learn and dedicate yourself to the art and craft. You cannot be a lazy person and ever expect to write good copy, and so with that let's talk more about it.

To the trained and experienced copywriter, it is easy to tell how much another copywriter has about the product just by reading the copy. This is a basic point missed by a good amount of copywriters, but it's something that will lead you to create copy that is utterly unconvincing. Think about this - if you do not have the knowledge to write about something, then the only thing you can do is write what you think may be the case or simply make-up something. There are a number of concepts that have to there in everything you write, and the thing about it is they are unique to that piece of copy. You will need to get in the habit of writing in a relatively simple manner and approach. Remember that writing copy is not done a certain way just because somebody thought it would be cool to do it like that - it is based on many, many years of testing. You will not write to an audience about video games using language that would appeal to attorneys and vice versa.

Nothing wrong with networking on your copywriting education and training; so that is something to think about. Try and find someone who is equally good as you or better than you when it comes to copywriting. Just remember that the only way to really get expert help is by paying somebody who is worth it to mentor you. Another possibility is to join forums and just lurk for a while, and then see what you think about the networking idea.

No getting around the need to learn the principles of copywriting if you want to learn how to do it. The world of copywriting is always abuzz with new opportunities to learn and experiment, so don't be dependent on what you already know - keep expanding your horizons to become better at your job.
