Direct your ad headline to your target audience

Direct your ad headline to your target audience. Your readers will feel important and enjoy belonging to a select group of people who buy your product. For example, "Attention! Accountants, Discover A New Way To Increase Your Client Base!" Another example, "Warning! E-book Publishers..."

Tell your readers how fast they can receive your product or service in your ad. Their buying decision may be based on how fast they can receive your product. They may need it by a certain deadline. For example, you could say, "You can download our e-book within minutes after you order."

Use bullets to highlight the benefits of your products or services. Benefits are the key to selling anything, make them stand out in your ad. You can use dots, dashes, or circles to highlight them. You also could convert your product’s features and bonuses into bullet format.

Give a money-back guarantee that surpasses a normal one. Instead of the normal timed guarantee, give them extra back. Tell them they can keep the free bonus or give them double their money back. You could also extend the guarantee's time limit to 60 days, 3 months, 1 year, or a lifetime.

Tell your readers they'll receive surprise bonuses. This'll raise your readers’ curiosity and make them want to buy so they can find out what the surprise bonuses are. You could also not tell them and make it a real surprise. For example, imagine how you would feel if you bought a product and got a second one for free without knowing it ahead of time?

Let your readers know this specific package will not be offered again. You must create urgency so people ‘buy now’. You can always sell the same product but not with the same bonuses or price. For example, you could say, "We will only be offer- ing 460 of them at this low price, order now!"

Give your readers a couple of tips in your ad which will help them with their problem. This will give your business credibility and gain your readers’ trust to buy your products or services. Plus, that will get them more interested in reading the rest of your ad copy and more likely persuade them to buy.

Add extra subjects to your web site. Most free ad sites only allow you to submit your web site to one category. This'll allow you to submit it to many. For example, you could submit your ad to the free e-book section if you offered a free e-book. Another example, you could submit your ad to the self-help section if you published articles about self-help information.

Increase the perceived value of your product by making your offer scarce. You could use limited time bonuses, low prices, low quantities, etc. One of the best ways is to make your product collectable. You could offer one version of your product with a serial number, then the next version with a different serial number, and so on.
