First Friday Link Party for Writers – Spring Fling Edition

Carol Tice

Party - group with champagneYes, spring has sprung, and it’s that time again — time for writers to share their best post of the month on my new First Friday Link party!

We had a few glitches last time, but this time I think we’re ready to rock here (and if anything’s not working, I know I can count on you to let me know in the comments).

Check out my link party widget: I’ve cooked up a link party graphic you can add to your own post or sidebar, to let your readers know your post is appearing here on Make a Living Writing. Check out my sidebar and grab the code to install on your site.

After voting closes Sunday night, the link posts will reorganize to feature the favorites at the top. Good luck all!

I can’t wait to see all of your tasty posts…so put ’em up and then tell a friend!

Here are the instructions:


 

 

What is Copywriting? A Modern Definition and How-To Guide

What is Copywriting? A Modern Definition and How-To Guide

What Is Copywriting? The How-To Guide for Freelancers. Makealivingwriting.com

It’s a question so simple, you might think everyone already knows the answer: What is copywriting?

But in my decade-plus helping newbie writers launch their freelance careers, I’ve learned not to assume. People come from all walks of life into freelance writing, and aren’t born knowing the lingo.

When I researched this question, it got even more interesting. Because I disagreed with many of the most popular posts on the topic.

What I have for you isn’t your grandpa’s copywriting definition and description. It’s a rebel’s 21st Century copywriting definition — and a how-to guide on how to break in and do it.

How copywriting evolved

Old copy hacks will tell you copywriting is the art and science of crafting writing that sells.

They’ll tell you writing that overtly sells a product or service is copywriting — and everything else is ‘not copywriting.’

That was once true — but it isn’t any more. Because the Internet changed much of what we once knew about marketing.

I’ve got a new definition of copywriting for you, one I think is more accurate for the 21st Century marketing era we live in now.

Read on to learn what copywriting is today, how to do it — and how you can capitalize on the changes to earn well as a freelance writer.
