One of the biggest challenges new copywriters face is how to describe copywriting. Well, not really. But, when you tell people what you do, you’re usually met with blank stares or, worse, confident nods and then the conversation turns to copyrighting. Which, of course, is something completely different.
So, just for fun, here are a few alternative ways to describe copywriting.
Alphabet re-arranger
“I rearrange the letters of the alphabet and people pay me.”
Word tamer
“I tame those pesky words so companies can use them to sell products.”
Master of syllables
“I master the syllables aesthetically for the purpose of selling.”
Word artist
“I paint pictures with words.”
Bard of advertising
“I come up with words to make people buy stuff. I’m the bard of advertising.”
Ink scribbler
“I scribble with ink to make words.”
Imagination wizard
“I use my imagination to come up with concepts that lead to words that make people buy your products. I’m a wizard at it.”
Wordsmith
“I’m a skilled wordsmith, using my power to help others.”
