Before you write an ad, you have to remember that in even a low-competition market,
your ads are under pressure to perform (that is, your clicks must also convert), or otherwise
they will end up costing you money. Because of this you should always write ads with two
things in mind:
1.The ad must persuade the prospect that the page this ad points to will hold the answer
to what they are looking for.
2.The landing page must deliver on what the , otherwise the clicks will be
wasted.
In addition, you also have to ensure that only those people whom you are targeting will
click on your ad. Or to put it differently, you want to make sure that you get the clicks that
are most likely to convert into buyers.
Now that we know what's required,we can map out some guidelines for writing the ad.
Identify what you are selling
Make sure you have a clear idea of what you're selling and how that will tie in with your ad.
Choose the keywords that apply to your site, and include them in your ads.
Narrow down your target market
Understand who you are selling to. An excellent example of this is one of Perry Marshall's
recent ads for his book, Guide to Google AdWords. He's targeting serious business minded
people who are willing to pay for quality products, so he's made sure that he
lists the product price in the ad. Does
that help? It will potentially keep out
people who are looking for free advice
You can refine the focus of your market
by writing down who exactly you are
selling to for my weight loss e-book
that I wrote way back when I was
starting out in Internet Marketing, I focused on young adults who led extremely busy
lives and wanted an easy, effective and time-saving solution to managing their weight
problems.
Use focused keywords to help you create a targeted ad
As I've explained in the previous section, focus on subtopics rather than ads for the
general keyword they convert much better into customers because you are able to
direct them to exactly that page that contains the information they are looking for.
Write to persuade this is sales writing in a very small space
Sales writing boils down to a simple principle convincing the reader to take immediate action
on what the writer wants them to do (sign up to a list, buy a product, etc). To do this right, you
have to first attract their attention (headline), convey the most powerful benefit (first line)
and provide a logical justification for taking that action through your most powerful feature
(second line).
