Quick Copywriting Tips For Internet Marketers

I’ve prepared a few copywriting tips that you should follow when writing content for your website. You’ll find these very helpful, especially since creating online content is different from writing for other forms of media. Some of these guidelines are also applicable to non-Internet related projects. Read on.

1. Know your target market.

This is actually a rule that applies whether you’re writing for online marketing purposes or otherwise. You need to know who you’re writing for and what type of content they would appreciate. What tone of voice should you use? Which expressions are appropriate? Are they sensitive or particularly sensitive to certain topics?

2. Know your purpose.

What are you producing content for? What is the company’s end goal? More sign-ups? More hits on YouTube? Knowing the company’s objectives will keep you aligned with the kind and level of work that you need to perform.

3. Speak in a language your market understands.

If you’re giving financial advice to stay at home mothers, try not to use financial jargon that is too technical for their level of understanding. Speak in a language your readers understand. This is online marketing advice you should consider whether you’re writing or creating a viral video for your site.

Use easily familiar words. If you need to use a specific term, provide an explanation that’s easy to understand, without even more complicated jargon.

4. Keep it simple.

Let me stress one of my points in #2. Don’t complicate things. Keep your statements simple. Try not to use too much flowery language.

If you feel that some sentences only confuse your readers, take them out.
