Article by Tina Barraclough
You've got approximately 0.5 seconds
to grab
someone's attention with a classified ad.
That is not
much time for
you to convince someone with your ad (s). You
can dramatically increase your results with your ad (s) if you know how
to
write an ad to get results. Knowing how to write an ad that not only
grabs the
readers attention, but convinces them is the key to any ad.
Below I have
listed some
tips for you to follow when writing an ad,
that can increase your results for your ad. Try some or all of them and
see
what works for your ad (s).
(1) Look at
other people's
ads for some ideas. When looking at these
ads think about what caught your attention as well as what didn't. By
doing
this, you will see what kind of ad that you need to write that will
bring you
results.
(2) Think
about who you
want to target with your ad. For example, let's
say your ad is promoting a home business opportunity, then you
obviously would
only want to target people who are looking for such opportunities. Your
ad
would not be effective for someone who is not interested in a home
business
opportunity.
(3) The
headline to your
ad is THE most important part of the ad. The
headline should be no longer than 5 to 7 words. Use "Action" verbs
that catch their attention or ask a question to catch their attention.
For
example, " Would you like to quit your job?" Type the headline in all
caps or cap the letter of every word to get the readers attention.
(4) I have
noticed that if
you have something "Free" to offer
the reader, this usually will catch their attention right away. For
example,
maybe you could offer them a free e-book about home businesses, etc.
(5) Keep your
ads brief.
Do not give the reader to much information.
Most people will not read ads that are long and full of hype. When
writing your
ad, what you want to do is only use a few descriptive words to simply
state
what you are selling or offering, but still pique their curiosity.
(6) Do not use
all caps in
your ad (s). When you use all caps it makes
the ad hard to read, and is also considered as yelling. Most people
will
consider this as being rude and will not look at what you are offering.
(7) Always
make sure you
end your ad (s) by telling the reader exactly
how to respond to your ad (s). Keep it simple and easy, make sure you
have
included your e-mail address and website address if you have one.
(8) Always
proof read your
ad (s) before you place them anywhere. Also,
make sure your web and e-mail addresses are correct and in working
order. Your
ad (s) will not be worth anything if it has the wrong contact
information. This
is one of the main reasons why an ad may have poor responses.
(9) Revise and
test your
ad (s) over and over again until you write an
ad that works for you. You should only test one revised ad at a time,
this way
you will know which one of your ads is working and where.

like to learn
more about ad writing, I have listed some
places where you can find tutorials on ad writing.

Once you have
written an
ad that you are pleased with, you will need to
start placing classified ads. Free advertising does work, but it
requires a lot
of work and in time you will start to see results. Below I have listed
some
places for you to place your ad (s). To find places where you can
places your
ad (s), go to your favorite search engine and type in "free
classifieds", "home business classifieds", "work from home
classifieds", etc.
