That’s a thing I do. Since 2009, I’ve worked as both a journalist and as a commercial copywriter.
Sometimes, commercial copywriters are called content writers. For the purposes of this, I’m conflating the two: here are my thoughts on the difference between the two.
I’ve commercial experience in a range of writing. As a UX writer, I’ve developed error and confirmation messages for apps, written onboarding sequences, and more.
As a copywriter (or if you prefer, content writer), I’m an expert in producing concise, clear copy that engages, compels and converts readers.
I do that SEO stuff too but I’m not convinced that ‘SEO writer’ is a real job. One day I’ll write about that as well.
