Can You Write Persuasive Ads?

Can You Write Persuasive Ads?

How good are you with words?

Can you write an ad for the newspaper, knowing with confidence that it will drive eager customers through your doors, credit cards out, ready to spend?

How about an ad for the radio or TV – can you knock up a 30 second script that has the phone lines jammed?

For many business owners advertising is considered a necessary evil. You have to do it because the competition is doing it and you won’t get your share of the pie if you don’t run your usual ads.

But what if you started looking at your advertising from a different perspective.

“What if you changed your mindset and starting looking upon advertising as an investment in your business?”

If you knew that you would get a $4 return for every dollar spent on ads, would you be worried if you had to pay $1,000 or $10,000?

Of course you wouldn’t…you’d have that cheque written faster than the winning dog at Dapto.

But one of the main reasons people can’t adopt this mentality is because they’ve never been shown how to write a good ad. Never taught the power that words have to influence the thoughts and emotions of people.

You just aren’t shown as a small business owner how much of a difference powerful advertising can make.

I’m not sure if you know much about the world of copywriting, but a good copywriter can name their price when it comes to crating a direct response piece – and their price normally includes a cut of the profits.

But the good news is – being able to write persuasive copy is an acquired skill not one you’re born with.

These million dollar wordsmiths didn’t wake up one morning with the ability to crank out sales letters that read like a Dan Brown novel.

They worked hard at their craft, and honed their skills through trial and error.

And learning this skill is something that should be high up on the to do list of anyone who is looking to be in business for the long haul…including you.

Think about the next ten years, and how many different advertisements you’re going to run in this time.

Now imagine that you were able to increase the conversions of all of these campaigns by just ten percent a year for those ten years.

That would give you roughly an extra full years worth of income for the same time period.

Now if learning to write good copy seems like a daunting task, check back here regularly. I’m going to break the whole process down for you and give you valuable tips and insights that you can immediately incorporate into your advertising campaigns

I’ll start off with the biggies – the four most important factors that should be included as part of every piece of advertising you do.

And just a quick note – after reading a few of my articles you’ll soon learn that graphics have very little to do with good advertising. Words sell, not pictures.

Graphics should only be used to enhance your advertising message – they should not BE your advertising message.

The sooner you can move away from graphically based ads, and start running ads that sell – the sooner your bottom line will begin to fatten up.
