SALESMANSHIP!
Awsome term to define copywriting…nice post – Thanks!

Thanks for stopping by my blog. I like your extended version of copywriting, and wholeheartedly agree. Nice post. I hope you visit again, and I’ll come back and check yours out too. By the way, when did you snag Copywriting.com? Nice URL.

Hi Theda.

Thanks for dropping by… I was lucky enough to get this domain 5 years ago from a very sought-after copywriter called Karl Freitag.

Thanks Miguel.

I think every important subject should start by having its definition cleared before you read about it, just as you’ve done it.

So, the purpose of WHY this blog exists, becomes much better understood this way.

Well done!

Nice definition. Simple but to the point!
Salesmanship, awesome!

Thank you for sharing.
Keep it up!

The above definition of “Copywriting” is simply flabbergast. It covers each and every section of this field. It has an aesthetic beauty. I salute the writer of this definition. It’s actually a jewel that will not only scatter the radiance of thoughts and ideas but it will also inspire the next writers to jot down with utter excellence.

the poetry puts food for all thoughts.(a beauty)

Wonderful words Miguel. If I ever get time to set up a blog at BuddyCopywriting I will certainly be referencing this entry and linking to it. You get ALL the credit, and that is as it should be.

Of course, I have to get the web site completed first. Sheesh.

Your definition of copywriting is superb which even a layman can understand. A good copywriter captivates the attention of reader by his magic of words. He is master of words in the world of selling.

It’s definately a wonderful defination of copywriting.

… it sums up the the definition of a copywriter

Another good definition I came across was that a copywriter is a salesperson in front of a keyboard.

Caught me attention…

great and simple definition of copywriting. easy to understand for a beginner.

“When someone shares something of value with you and you benefit
from it, you have a moral obligation to share it with others.”

Thus….another rendition

The art of copy-writing is the art of craftmanship. It requires some creativity from the part of the copy-writer. It is the innate talent which, had already in man.

Great definition and wonderful salesmanship! Will surely checkout your favorite book.

Thank you for this wonderful site. Will visit again and again…Hope to learn a lot from CopyWriting.com

A good copy-writer has a keen eye to watch, grasp and catch even the minute and momentary aspects of life and make them meaningful and fleeting into the words. It is purely marketing based and the job of a copy-writer will turn one into the lime-light of his career. Copy-writing is a life-long process through which, day by day one can achieve more knowledge and know the magic realism through alphabets, words, phrases, clauses and sentences.

Thought provoking definition. The first thing that hit me like a bolt while wandering this woods.

Hope to learn a lot from here.

…i think good copy writer is the one who knows the heart of the consumers….

well done!

A writing craft directed to persuasion- hence “Pesuasonist”

One of the comprehensive definition enveloped in a small envelope quity easy to take out.

This was great and very insightful-especially for a young, aspiring copy writer. Thanks for posting it!

I have seen a more succinct definition – salesmaship in print – but I prefer the more poetic one that you have quoted.

Very useful article!

Hi Miguel,

I very much enjoy reading our posts. Very informative. Here’s a very graphic description I’ve composed:
“Words are the brush a copywriter uses to paint a virtual picture.”
