Writing killer web copy for e-mails, mailers, e-newsletters and the Internet
Not everyone can do it. Not everyone can do it well. And just because web or SEO copywriting and copywriting have a couple of words in common, they’re not the same animal. In truth, they’re two different beasts altogether.
Companies large and small are devoting more and more of their marketing budgets to online channels, especially in the current economic environment. They’re also looking for results. This means that more companies are measuring their conversion rates and insisting that their webpages, emails and e-newsletters be written to maximise sales.
The problem is that web copywriting and print copywriting are not the same thing. Nor is online copywriting simply about long, pitchy sales letters. What companies desperately need is copywriters who can produce informative, well-structured, optimised, search engine-friendly text; in other words, SEO content that attracts real business.
And this is the course you need to do that.
Perhaps you’re writing electronic copy for the first time. Perhaps you’re not a writer, but you’re charged with developing web content for your company. Perhaps you’re wrestling with existing content and trying to SEO it. Whoever you are, if you write for the web, for e-mails or for any electronic medium, this web writing workshop is for you.
It’ll teach you to write killer web copy that works. You’ll learn how web users read and what they expect, how to re-purpose print copy and how to create short, tight, credible, scannable text. You’ll also master what goes on in the world of difference between print copy and website copy – and how to turn one into the other. Just like that.
