Copywriter Or A Content Writer: Who Are You?

It’s sometime back when I joined some webmasters’ forums, as being a writer it’s very crucial for one to explore the arenas of Webmasters’ world not only because you learn a lot from there but there lies a good market as well. The market, however, largely depends on how you explore, what you come up with and how you manage to get into a specific market.

I’ve been observing the Content areas of almost all forums and found a very interesting thing there both at buyers and writers’ end. A tread titled as “Looking For a Copywriter” when explored was requiring a writer to write some articles. Similarly a thread with the title “Experienced Copywriter For Hire” was telling the details of article writing services of the poster.

This is what made me curious to explore more and more, and the statistics I’ve come up with state that out of 10 threads with ‘copywriting’ in their title 9 were about content writing. I agree, most of the webmasters do not know the difference between two types of writings but why don’t such writers.

Forums’ markets for article writers is very well known for $0.01/word article and some writers even charge less than a cent. So if you’re looking for the reason why forums are such low paying writers’ markets, you won’t find a reason better than the one mentioned above.

Just curious to know, are you a content writer or a copywriter?

    Content Writing and copywriting are two different areas for sure. Agreed!
