2. Choose a copywriter with experience (in your industry and with the media you want)
You want a copywriter who already has some experience in your industry area. A good copywriter can write anything, but if you have an IT client, for example, then it’s best to choose a copywriter who already knows the terminology, industry standards, etc. It’s better for you if they don’t learn on your time. The same goes for the medium. If it’s for a website, better choose a copywriter with web experience. They’ll know about keywords, optimisation, style, etc and the results will be better.
