Attention please , Talent Seekers :) Let's streamline your copywriter search! Ever dreamt of the perfect copywriter, only to find they write a different language (literally)? Here's the key: clearly state language needs in your job title! Arabic Copywriter: Creates magical Arabic content that resonates with your audience. English Copywriter: Makes your English content shine bright! Bilingual Copywriter: A master of both languages, bringing double the magic! Remember, bilingualism is a bonus, not a must. note: I personally face this problem quite frequently. Every time I need to clarify that I am proficient in Arabic only, and do not write in both languages, even though my job title is very clear (Arabic content writer / copy writer ). #contentwriter #copywriter #copywriting #contentmarketing #contentwriting

PSA for all the companies and recruiters trying to hire "Bilingual Copywriters". Quebec language laws are not an excuse to devalue the expertise of professional Copywriters and trained Translators. If you are trying to get a "good deal" by hiring a Copywriter to produce texts in two or more languages and translate both ways, then you will get poorly written and mediocre content. Good Copywriters tend to be proficient in one language, even if they are bilingual or polyglots, like yours truly. Translators tend to be proficient at translating into one target language (usually their native tongue) and not both ways. If a Copywriter boasts that they are good at writing copy in several languages and can translate in every direction, they are likely lying. Translating is a difficult job that takes years of practice. Copywriting is a difficult job that takes years of practice. You want good, impactful copy? Hire a native Copywriter for your primary language of content production and hire Translators for your other target languages. #copywriter #contentwriter #billingual #polygot #translator

June 2023. I get a call from an unusual potential client: a big construction company. 🔹Client: We need a French copywriter who also understands Dutch. We have to submit files for calls for tenders, for the construction of locks on canals in Wallonia. They’re being written by engineers and need editing and partly translating. 🔸Me:… I'm indeed a bilingual copywriter. But let’s be honest: I don’t know ANYTHING about locks. 🔹Client: Our engineers could help you with the vocabulary. 🔸Me (thinking: Writing with engineers, OMG how’s that going to happen): And what amount of text are we talking about exactly? 🔹Client: 4 files of 200 pages. But don’t worry, 3 of them will be mostly copy-paste from the first one. 🔸Me: ??? And for when do you need that??? 🔹Client: By the end of August. It all sounded like a really bad plan 😱. But finding a bilingual freelance copywriter, able to edit AND to translate AND who knows something about locks AND is available throughout the summer: now that seemed totally mission impossible. So I said yes. I teamed up with Thibault Charpentier, me translating and he editing and designing the layout (well yes, that also appeared to be completely missing). We worked directly with the company’s engineers, which was as unusual for them as for us. And it all went smoothly. We met the deadline. But hang on, there's more happy end to come. ... Fast-forward to March 2024. Tenders take time, but finally we got the good news: Our client won the first tender! 🎉 🍾 (Still waiting for the outcome for the 3 other tenders) I'm so proud we've contributed a tiny bit to their success. And so happy that a company less familiar with communication understood how important clear writing and structure is. #copywriting #editing #clearwritingmatters

What can help you make a good choice when searching “the” English copywriter in Croatia? You will certainly need to check some boxes here, when you want to find the adequate English copywriter you want to work with. There are a few parameters, like: 1. Is the English copywriter in Croatia a native English speaker (and writer)? First of all, is the copywriter’s native language English? You’ve got to check the toolbox the copywriters use. Do they have the necessary command of English language you require for the job to get done? Or are they just using that keyword to drive traffic to their website, and if they get the job, they’ll outsource it? Schedule a call with the copywriter and ask for a portfolio or ask them to come up with suggestions for your brief (give them a tight deadline, so that you can be sure that they worked on it). 2. Is that English copywriter producing copy for the same industry as you’re in? You’ve got to make sure that the chosen copywriter is familiar with your industry. Even if he/she is not, you must make certain that the copywriter will have enough time to get to know your industry. Equip them with as much information as you can - share info about the production, the time it takes to produce products, the stages, give them a tour of your facility etc. All the above IF the copywriter will be willing to do some research and immerse himeself/herself into the industry at hand. Copywriters who have been producing content for your industry over many years won’t need that much input, but you as the client must be always forthcoming and ready to provide information whenever needed. Only then will the website copy be precise and thruthful, if it’s the facts that you want to share with potential clients, and you’re relying on credibility as one of the factors that will make buying from you relevant.

Being an English freelance copywriter is challenging enough as it is. Being a non-native English copywriter? That is a Dark Souls-level challenge. Still, all challenges are meant to be solved, surpassed, and surmounted. Like the beloved video game title I mentioned above, there are ways to even out the playing field. Here are things that I do and keep in mind to give myself an edge: Be ruthless As a non-native English copywriter, we are fighting an uphill battle. Be ruthless with your copy, spare no room for grammatical errors, and edit the copy with extreme prejudice before sending it to your client. Read more, write more, learn more A client comes to you and me expecting expertise, and that is exactly what we need to deliver. When we are carrying that label of a non-native English copywriter, the stakes are even higher. Keep the writing skills polished and the mind aware of what is going on in the client's country, so we are ready to meet and surpass their expectations. Get comfy with rejections We are playing an away game when we try to write in a language that is not our mother tongue. If you face a rejection despite your best effort, lick your wounds, rest for a moment, vent out your frustrations if you must, and prepare yourself for your next battle. Different equals potentials This is a part where being a non-native English copywriter is actually a boon: You have a better grasp on certain subject matters than the native English copywriters. Maximize your different backgrounds and mastery over a topic that seems mundane to you. This mundane thing could be a good idea for a pitch. And that is about it from me.
