Ghostwriter Vs. Copywriter: Which One Do You Need?
You're building something amazing, and getting your ideas into the world matters.
But should you invest in a copywriter or a ghostwriter?
Let's cut through the confusion and see which one makes most sense for you right now.
The Copywriter: Your Conversion Catalyst
A copywriter is laser-focused on one thing: getting your audience to take action.
They turn your value proposition into clicks, downloads, and sales.
What a Copywriter Delivers:
High-converting sales pages that turn visitors into customers
Email sequences that nurture relationships, drive subscriptions and purchases
Landing pages that maximise download and conversions
Ad copy that generates clicks and leads
Product descriptions that convince people to buy
When to Bring in a Copywriter:
You need to increase conversion rates on your offerings
You're launching a new product or service
You want more email subscribers or course participants
You need to optimise your sales funnel
Your current marketing materials aren't driving enough action
The Ghostwriter: The Authority Builder
Think of a ghostwriter as your personal brand architect. The person making you sound like you on your best day, online.
A ghostwriter can capture your voice and expertise in long and short form content. And this content is typically educational and positions you as a thought leader.
What a Ghostwriter Creates:
In-depth articles that showcase your expertise
LinkedIn* posts that build your personal brand
Educational email courses
Speeches that captivate audiences
Books that cement your authority in your space
When to Partner with a Ghostwriter:
You want to be recognised as an industry authority
You want to get funding, find the best talent and partnership opportunities
You're building a personal brand that opens doors
You need consistent, valuable content for your audience
You're aiming for speaking opportunities
You want to build your influence online
The Power of Strategic Timing: When to Use Each
Think of it this way:
1. A ghostwriter helps you build the foundation of trust and authority through educational content
2. A copywriter then leverages that trust to convert your engaged audience into customers
For example:
* Your ghostwriter creates an insightful article series about industry transformation
* This content establishes your expertise and grows your following
* Your copywriter then crafts compelling offers that convert this engaged audience into paying clients
