Who is a copywriter, and what does copywriting mean?
A copywriter writes words and sentences known as creative copies that incite target audience action. To achieve this purpose, a copywriter needs to fully understand the behavior patterns of potential consumers and their needs.
It is famously said that copywriting is similar to a “first date”; if all you do is talk about yourself (your brand), there would be no second date.
For writing every piece of copy, no matter it is a social media caption or a brand’s tagline, a copywriter should analyze the audience and define a perfect strategy to convey messages.

Copywriter salary, How do they get paid?
A copywriter can get paid in different ways, depending on the industry, job position, years of experience, type of work, technical expertise, etc.
Copywriter salary can be calculated based on the working hours (mostly for creative projects) or based on the word count (for example for blog writings and SEO writings).
You can also have a fixed salary when you work as a part-time or full-time employee for a company.
Copywriter vs. content marketing writer: a confusing matter!
Honestly, no one in the industry can draw a definite line between these two concepts. However looking closely at these two terms, we can mention some technical differences.
To begin, a content marketing writer generally works as a blogger (better said blog writer) or writes for social media posts. A copywriter, on the other hand, is a person whose primary task is to manipulate words in a way that moves the audience to act and purchase.
Copywriters do not generate lengthy content, they write a 3 to 4 words phrase that is clever, creative, and enticing; something like “live smart!”.
