With video becoming so popular, is copywriting/content creation still a good idea for a busines

    I just launched my content marketing/copywriting business. The core of my business is to create written marketing content for other businesses.

    However, lately it seems like video marketing is all over the place. I know you will still need video scripts. But I'm wondering if copywriting/content writing is going to be a lost cause before I have enough time to establish myself?

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Content is KING. Even for video marketing, content is needed. I work with companies making explainer videos and provide the "scripts" they need!

    As long as Google is around & focuses on providing value to its users, there's no DEATH for content writing :) That's my two cents and I strongly believe that as well.

    Thanks for chiming in. That makes sense. I even thought about referencing video scripts in my original post, but I had forgotten to mention them.

    yes, unique content will always be in demand. also i think not everyone will be comfortable watching just videos.. they're just of additional use/benefit.

    the content is the most crucial element key to be a successful marketing. You can use this few tips:
    1. use short , simple jargon sentence
    2. explain the problem, solution, how it works ( and call-to-action)
    3. focus on pain point, and describe your business as a problem solver

    you can combined it with video too

    I also do video scripts for companies that also come to me for their other needs, so I feel like it's just one more "form" to have in your toolbox and keep a client happy.
    Text won't go away with the internet -- it seems to have just gotten bigger. It can also be translated much easier than videos and thus reach a much larger audience.

    Thanks to everyone for chiming in. I guess I just got a little paranoid. It looks like I have nothing to worry about.
