  • Copywriting – This nature of writing is one-directional in which copywriters’ intention of writing a copy is more towards triggering customers to take action on either purchasing products than to add values and exchange ideas on specific subjects.
  • Content writing – Typically a blog content is conversation-like or multi-directional to connect with readers and add values based on the topics being covered. This approach best suits the motive of creating traffic to websites.
