Top 8 Things you should never say to a copywriter!
Copywriting is seen as a decent, honourable job (most of the time), but sometimes something is said that makes a copywriter want to pull their hair out.
These comments usually come from a client or a work colleague and they tend to wreak havoc with a copywriter’s sanity!
These are the comments that should never ever pass your lips if you are speaking to a copywriter...
1. We want you to write us an article / blog, but we don’t have any idea of what it should be about or why we want it. Can’t you just make something up?
2. I need a 1000 word article, content for an advert and 20 blog posts by the end of today.
3. What you wrote is too short / long. Yes I know I didn’t tell you how long it should be BEFORE you started writing.
4. Can’t you write something exactly like this, but just reword it?
5. I heard the more keywords you have crammed into your content, the better! Can you just throw in some more, like 16 or so?
6. I don’t like what you wrote, I don’t know why though. Please rewrite it in a different way.
7. I really like what you’ve done, but I need to get opinions from my family, friends and some other random people first.
8. Sorry, I didn’t get the invoice. Is it okay if we pay you next month?
Yes, copywriting is a fun job, but there is always that one client who will drive you up the wall.
If you’re a copywriter, tell us about your experiences with difficult clients.
