What Does a Copywriter Do?
A copywriter crafts the words that sell and persuade — ads, landing pages, emails, product messaging and brand voice. Unlike a content writer focused on informative articles, a copywriter's job is to move a reader to act, in as few sharp words as possible.
Copywriting is entirely remote-friendly and a common freelance path. A portfolio showing results — higher conversions, stronger campaigns — sets the best writers apart.
