Are Copywriters and Bloggers the same?
Although Copywriters and Bloggers are in similar industries and perform similar tasks each title has a slightly different approach to content marketing for a small business.
Blogger: Creates articles to increase and boost an online presence using both organic reach and paid reach through sponsored posts and SEO (search engine optimization)
Copywriter: Creates engaging sales content for product descriptions, white papers, service descriptions and email marketing sequences. Each piece of content generally has a CTA (call to action)
Where do they connect?
A Copywriter may have a blog devoted to teaching content writing and marketing strategy while a blogger may hire a copywriter to give a descriptions of their services or help them to create Social Media Ads.
Think of it like this: a copywriter creates the “salesy content” while a blogger creates content in everyday language with the goal of engaging an audience.
Can I write my own content?
Yes you can but the better question to ask yourself is do I have the time and expertise to create compelling content?
Anyone can write a blog but everyone doesn’t know how to write a blog that will actually convert to more page views and sales. That is the end goal right?
You are welcome to try your hand at writing your own product and service descriptions but without the proper training and the ability to creates emotion invoking copy your marketing strategy will fail.
If you do plan to write your own content at first be sure to take a class from sites like, Udemy or HubSpothttps://www.hubspot.com/.

If anything needs to be tweaked your Freelance Writerwill perform keyword research on your target audience to get an idea of which keywords are ranking the highest for your industry.
Landing pages and Social Media Ads should be analyzed on a regular basis to ensure the copy or content is performing and relating to your target audience.
