Most people think that they can’t write good advertisements, but that’s not true! If you have the ability to put your thoughts into words, then you have all the tools you need to create ads that get results. The proverb “writers are born and not created” takes over the thought pattern. I’m telling you to put those thoughts aside and open your eyes and your mind.
If you are in the business of Internet marketing, you probably read many advertisements each week. If you have the desire to improve your ad writing abilities, take the time and look at other ads. Don’t just skim over them and dismiss them. Actually, take the time and study which ads grab your attention. Take those that are appealing and copy them to a file.
Set aside some time and look at those ads that caught your attention. Look at each individual ad and see what part of that ad grabbed your attention. Make a list of the points that were appealing to you and things that you feel would catch the attention of others. Now that you have identified some things that you believe made these ads successful, it is time to use that information for your own benefit. First, substitute your product or advertising information in some of the ads that you like. Then start making small variations to these ads to make them original. Keep working in this fashion and pretty soon, you will be thinking up your own variations and original ads that will sound catch as well.
This is one way to get the creative juices flowing. Most people have a difficult time getting new ideas for ads. Using other successful or appealing ads as a guideline can sometimes get you over the hump and started writing your own successful ads. Don’t just substitute your product or business idea into another ad and leave it at that, make it your own work.
Advertising is an important aspect of any online business, so it’s important to spend some time honing your ad writing skills. With a little practice, you’ll be surprised at the thoughts that start flowing.
