Clients want quality copy, and they want it yesterday. Whether crafting compelling ad copy, engaging blog posts, or captivating social media captions, these copywriting tips will help you write faster and better, satisfying your deadlines and your client’s expectations.
Preparation is Key
Preparation lays the groundwork for efficient writing. Before diving into your copy, take the time to understand your audience, your client’s brand voice, and the purpose of the content.
Conduct thorough topic research, gather relevant data, and outline your key points. A well-structured outline acts as a roadmap, guiding your writing process and preventing you from getting lost in a sea of words.
You’ll also be able to write faster when you work in a distraction-free environment.

Techniques for Quick Drafting
Let’s take a closer look at a few techniques you can use for faster drafting.
- Freewriting: Start with a brain dump. Write without worrying about grammar, structure, or coherence. Let your ideas flow freely onto the page. Freewriting allows you to overcome writer’s block and generate a wealth of material to refine later.
- Speed Writing: Set a timer for short bursts of focused writing, such as 25 minutes, and challenge yourself to write as much as possible within that timeframe. Embrace imperfection and prioritise getting your ideas down quickly. You can always revise and polish during the editing phase.
- Chunking: Break down your writing project into smaller projects. Focus on completing one section at a time rather than tackling the entire project at once.
- Use Templates: Leverage pre-existing templates or frameworks for common copywriting formats, such as email newsletters, landing pages, or social media posts. Templates provide a solid structure from which to work, streamlining the writing process and saving valuable time.
- Voice Typing: Experiment with voice-to-text software or apps to transcribe your thoughts directly. Speaking your ideas aloud can be faster than typing, allowing you to capture your thoughts in real-time without being bogged down by the mechanics of writing.
