Copywriting — the art of writing words that sell — is one of the areas where AI shines brightest. But there's a difference between using AI as a crutch and using it as a power tool. Here's how professionals approach AI copywriting.
The AI Copywriting Workflow
- Research — Use AI to analyze competitor copy, identify audience pain points, and gather data
- Framework selection — Choose a proven copywriting framework (AIDA, PAS, BAB)
- First draft — Use AI with a specific prompt to generate copy using the framework
- Variation — Generate 5-10 alternatives for key elements (headlines, CTAs)
- Human editing — Add brand voice, unique insights, and emotional nuance
- Testing — A/B test the top variations

Common Mistakes to Avoid
