content writing is the execution of a content marketing idea by creating content to be used in web pages, blogs, social media, and other marketing collateral. Content marketing, on the other hand, is a holistic plan on ways to use content to generate leads and increase sales.

Content writing, most importantly, is not just writing some content or subject. It's about bringing a “larger than a visual” image to the reader. You gotta be creative, make the reader imagine, and be engaged in the subject matter further asking for more.

Content marketing is a broader way of having an integrated marketing strategy. Content marketing always teams up with a strategy. Both content marketing and content marketing strategy come together because, without a proper guide and a plan, there is no perfect content. Succinctly put, content marketing strategy gives shape to content marketing.

To sum it up, content writing is the execution of a content marketing idea by creating content to be used in web pages, blogs, social media, and other marketing collateral. Content marketing, on the other hand, is a holistic plan on ways to use content to generate leads and increase sales.

This is a REALLY good question because it hits at perhaps the biggest mistake businesses make in content marketing: writing too much, and not marketing enough.

“Content writing” is just that: putting words on the page.

“Content marketing” is the process of:

Customer/market research to ensure that your content is irresistible to a target audience of people who you’d like to become your customers.
SEO research to ensure that your content is also irresistible to search engines.
Creating content that incorporates the above, AND aligns with your business goals (for example, if you want people to buy from you, then your content has to make them want to buy from you!).
Promoting your content (through email, social, influencer outreach, advertising, etc…) to drive traffic to your site.
Creating a compelling offer to get your readers to give you their email address in exchange for future content.
Building an email funnel that nurtures your subscribers into becoming paying customers of your business.
As you can see, the two are very different.

Content writing is a part of content marketing, but content marketing can’t happen successfully without these other parts…and that’s something that far too many businesses get wrong.

Both are part of digital marketing, here the difference is content writing is the way we are writing the blog, article or guest post anything, and the content marketing is how your posting and sharing your content on different platforms.
