Because in fact, as an online business owner, most of the content you produce could be called copywriting at least in some sense.

Woohoo, look at you! You are already a copywriter and you didn’t even know it!

In Conclusion
In short, the fact remains, copywriting is everywhere in your business, from your sales pages to your invoices. Whenever you ask a reader to take some action, you’re writing copy, and the more comfortable you are with the idea of it, the better (and more natural) you’ll become. So do not forget to make sure all of your writing counts!
