10 Challenges Every Ad Copywriter Face And How To Overcome Them by Faithajiboye: 9:12pm On Oct 16, 2021
Here are ten challenges you must be ready to face if you’re planning to take on the task.

1. Procrastination
This challenge doesn’t only apply to an ad copywriter but to any writer in general. It’s easy to start writing only to be distracted by something you see online or an exciting show playing on TV. Before you know it, the day is done, and you still have a blank page.

Solution: One solution to discourage yourself from procrastinating is to set up a timer. There are many great apps online that will allow you to clock in and out for every task. As a result, you’ll have a clear picture of how you’re spending your time and push you to be time-efficient.

2. Not Enough Inspiration
There are times when words just won’t come to you. You want to get started, but you don’t know how to. One possible reason why you’re not inspired to write about something is that you’re not familiar with the topic. If you’re usually writing an ad copy for food products, it could be uninspiring to create one for a financial app.

Solution: Research and read about the topic. Usually, the more you know about the topic, the more interested you become.


3. Difficult Clients
Not all clients are easy to work with. Heck, some clients don’t even know what they want! It may feel like they want one thing during the brainstorming session, but do a 360-degree turn on your next meeting.
Solution: Communication is key. Ask questions if the brief isn’t clear enough. In addition to that, summarize everything before every meeting is done. By doing so, you can make sure you’re on the same page.

Conclusion
In conclusion, being an ad copywriter entails performing many layers of tasks – from technical research to producing creative pieces that hook the audience in. And as illustrated above, it can be a challenging job, to say the least.
The great thing is, you don’t have to do it yourself. If you don’t have the time to learn the ropes, you can find a copywriter who can do it for you. Not only will you get a professionally-crafted piece, but you’ll also have more time to focus on more crucial parts of your venture
