How To Write Your Own Order
Pulling E-zine Ads
by
Ken Hill
One of the most effective ways to advertise your
business online is to place your ad in e-zines. A well written ad
run
over and over in a responsive e-zine can successfully achieve more
profit for your business in new and then repeat sales every single
month.
To begin writing your own profit generating e-zine ads that
continually bring you more sales:
1. Start with a compelling headline.
The first and most important part of your ad is your headline. It is
what will set your ad apart from all the other ads
published in an e-zine.
To get your readers' attention your headline must engage your
readers' self interest. It must tell your reader what is in it for
them. For instance "How To Lose 20 Pounds In 30 Days Or Less" or
"How Write Your Own Order Pulling E-zine Ads."
You can also grab your reader's interest by asking a question or by
offering your reader something newsworthy or informative. People are
always interested in new and interesting things that help them do
something better or that make things easier for them in some way.
If possible use the word free in your headline. The word free is the
#1 attention grabbing word and will automatically draw your reader's
attention to your ad.
Avoid headlines that are cute or that are misleading. Even if you do
get more visitors to your site you are unlikely to get any sales.
2. Make the body of your ad benefit rich.
The body of your ad copy should get your reader excited about what
you have to offer. Stress how your product or service can make your
readers' life better or make things easier for them.
When deciding which benefits to stress in your advertising, get into
your customers' minds. Ask yourself why your customers have bought
your product. What are the main benefits your product offers that
cause your customers' to make a purchase? What benefits are most
appealing to your customers?
If you can answer these questions you will be able to easily fill
your ad with benefits that will be especially attractive
to new people you introduce to your product through your ad.
3. End your ad with a call to action.
Once you grab your readers' attention and build up your readers'
interest, the final step is to tell your reader what
you want them to do with a call to action such as act now, get the
details now, or learn more now.
When writing your ad don't try to sell to your reader just from your
e-zine ad.
Use your ad to create interest and desire for your product, and then
use your call to action to direct your reader to your site and let
your site sell your product to your visitor with a powerful sales
message and/or ask your reader to e-mail you for more information so
that you can successfully follow up with her.
