Improving Your Writing

By Ray Edwards


Copywriting is a great field to get into. This article will discuss a few ways to improve your copywriting abilities.

First off, you should read any book by Dan Kennedy. He is an expert on copywriting, specifically Direct Response Writing (where the reader can immediately respond to the offer, such as direct mail advertising). The Ultimate Sales Letter is a great book to start off with.

You'll find a great introduction to copywriting at your local library, which will house at least one or two books on copywriting. The Internet is another great resource. Here are two sites with great tutorials on copywriting: www.sherus.com/business/copywriting/ and www.adcopywriting.com/Tutorials_List.htm. Each site has different tutorials that allow you to learn one step at a time and not all at once. They also allow you to learn at your own rate and on your own schedule.

It is pivotal to write every day. This will consistently help you become a better writer. You must also be constantly learning about your field. There is so much information out there, so don't be worried about learning everything over night. It will take some time and persistence to develop greater expertise.

Hopefully you found this article helpful. You can use books and the Internet to help you build up your expertise. There is so much information out there that you can find material that will best fit your learning style. Copywriting is very rewarding and flexible, so good luck! Improved writing will help you in all arenas, such as websites. Poor web content will keep you from selling your product or service very well, despite the quality of the product. So you must take the time and effort to learn how to create good copy.
