How You Can Use Copywriting To Level Up Your Writing
If you love challenging yourself to write about anything, this is for you.
I have always wanted to be a paid author, even since I was six and read my first work of fiction (The Magic Treehouse). But there was one catch: I thought I was bad at writing, and I didn’t know how to get better.
It was intimidating to write fiction, but I’d never been interested in non-fiction. So I quietly shelved my dreams of seeing my name on a book someday, and dreamed smaller, less ambitious dreams.
Then someone introduced me to copywriting.
What is copywriting?
Copywriting means someone provides you with a brief — maybe a blog post, an ad, a product description — and you write it for them. You try to make it engaging, descriptive, filled with keywords so it will rank well on Google.
But to me, copywriting was a way to gain validation that I was good at writing. It was my first paid writing gig, before I’d ever blogged or heard about Medium.
