Everybody wants to make more money... In fact, most people would like to hit upon something that makes them fabulously rich! And seemingly, one of the easiest roads to the fulfillment of these dreams of wealth is direct selling... The only thing is, hardly anyone gives much real thought to the basic ingredient of selling - the writing of profitable sales ad's. If your business is to succeed, then you must acquire the expertise of writing sales ad's that sell your product or services! Let's face it... Without absolutely grab-em-by-the-throat sales copy, it won't matter if you have the best products or services in the world... It won't matter how "professional" your website looks... or how high your rankings are in the searching engines... heck it won't even matter if you're getting an avalanche of targeted traffic to your site... ... None of this stuff means anything if your sales copy doesn’t sell! So what makes a sales copy good or bad? First of all, it must appeal to the reader, and as such, it must say exactly what you want it to say. Secondly, it has to say what it says in the least possible number of words in order to keep your operating costs within your budget. And thirdly, it has to produce the desired results whether inquiries or sales. Grabbing the reader's attention is your first objective. There has to be something about your sales ad that causes the reader to stop scanning and look at yours! So, the first two or three words of your ad are of the utmost importance and deserve your careful consideration. Most surveys show that words or phrases that quickly involve the reader, tend to be the best attention-grabbers. Such words as: FREE... WIN... MAKE BIG MONEY... Whatever words you use as attention-grabbers, to start your ads, you should bear in mind that they'll be competing with similar attention-grabbers of the other ads on the same page. Therefore, in addition to your lead words, your ad must quickly go on to promise or state further benefits to the reader. In other words, your ad might read something like this: MAKE BIG MONEY! Easy & Simple. We show you how! In the language of professional copywriters, you've grabbed the attention of your prospect, and interested them with something that even they can do. The next rule of good sales copywriting has to do with the arousal of the reader's desire to get in on your offer. In a great many instances, this rule is by-passed, and it appears, this is the real reason that an ad doesn't pull according to the expectations of the advertiser. Think about it - you've got your reader's attention; you've told them it's easy and simple; and you're about to ask them to do something. Unless you take the time to further "want your offer," your ad is going to only half turn them on. The readers will compare your ad with the others that have grabbed their attention and finally decide upon the one that interests them the most. What I'm saying is that here is the place for you to insert that magic word "guaranteed" or some other such word or phrase. So now, we've got an ad that reads: MAKE BIG MONEY! Easy & Simple. Guaranteed! Now the reader is turned on, and in their mind, they can't lose. You're ready to ask for their money. This is the "demand for action" part of your ad. This is the part where you want to use such words as: Limited offer - Act now! Write today! Only and/or just... Putting it all together, then your ad might read something like this: MAKE BIG MONEY! Easy & Simple. Guaranteed! Limited offer. These are the ingredients of any good classified ad - Attention - Interest - Desire - Action... Without these four ingredients skillfully integrated into your ad, chances are your ad will just "lie there" and not do anything but cost you money. So let's try to give you an example of the kind of classified ad you might want to use, say to sell a report such as this one... Using all the rules of basic advertising copywriting, and stating exactly what our product is, our ad reads thusly: MONEY-MAKER'S SECRETS! How To Write winning sales ads. Simple & easy to learn - should double or triple your responses. Rush $1 to BC Sales, 10 Main Anytown, TX 75001. The point we're making is that: l) You've got to grab the reader's attention... 2) You've got to "interest them" with something that appeals to them... 3) You've got to "further stimulate" them with something (catch-phrase) that makes the readers "desire" the product or service... 4) Demand that they act immediately... Truly, when you use the right words on the right people at the right time you can have all the business you want... all the money you want... and... all the fun you want. That's the good news. The bad news is, learning how to write order-pulling sales copy is difficult, time-consuming, frustrating, expensive, and extremely stressful.
