It seems that every small-business owner I run into considers themselves a copywriter. Usually they will get that you need a designer, web designer, maybe even a marketing person but they just don't see the value of a copywriter. After all they learned to write in grade school, didn't they? So they should be able to write ad copy, web content, and most anything a good marketing plan would require, right? They may think so but it's a rare business owner who can write effective ad copy or web content let alone the myriad of pieces of copy that a good marketing plan requires.
A copywriter doesn't cost he pays
This is the hardest thing to get through to a small businessperson, especially on a tight or non-existing budget. Think of it this way though. Instead of saving money you're actually losing money by writing your own copy. First of all you probably have a business degree not a journalism degree so writing copy doesn't necessarily come naturally. So it takes you longer to write something than a professional copywriter. This is time spent that you can't afford to take away from the business. Your time would be better spent doing what you do best...running the business. Second, a good copywriter knows how to craft effective copy. He knows what words motivate potential clients. He knows how to optimize his text for the web by using keywords. A good copywriter is practiced at selling products. He has valuable experience partnering with business owners to get their story told to the world effectively. These are qualities that take years to cultivate. Do you have the time?

Experience you need in getting your message out there. So stop banging your head against the wall trying to come up with some clever copy for your latest ad campaign. Instead hand that important task off to a professional and reap the benefits of more time, better results, and increased sales.
