Classified ad submitting
Do
not type your AD in all caps. This is considered rude and many sites will
....reject your
ad. Use
upper and lower case when filling in your information. (Your Name,If
you wish a telephone/email/URL response to your AD, enter your .telephone/email/URL
in the "body" of your AD. Check
your spelling before submitting your AD, usually it cannot be "corrected"
after posting. Visit the sites and look at their requirements. You will realize that that size of ads allowed varies quite a bit. Good rule of thumb is is 30 characters - 50 words or 1-4 lines. Some sites allow 100 words or more. To save a lot of time re-typing your ads at each site, prepare them off line in your word processor or Word Pad. Compose a 10, 30, 50 , and a 100 words text for your classified. Then go to the sites, and keep the word processor and index of sites open at the same time. Now you can go from site to site and post appropriate length ads for each site. Simply use copy and paste from your word processor file.
It's useful to print the list of sites and then mark the sites you visited with the time you placed the ads, the time you can check your ad posted etc. Some sites post your ads as soon as you submit it, other may take a day or two. Note for how long your ad will be posted, so you can go back and re-post, when it expires.
How To Write "Order-Pulling" Ads The most important aspect of any business is selling the product or service. Without sales, no business can exist for very long.
All sales begin with some form of advertising. To build sales, this advertising must be seen or heard by potential buyers, and cause them to react to the advertising in some way. The credit for the success, or the blame for the failure of almost all ads, reverts back to the ad itself.
The bottom line in any ad is quite simple: To make the reader buy the product or service. Any ad that causes the reader to only pause in his thinking, to just admire the product, or to simply believe what is written about the product--is not doing it's job completely.
The "ad writer" must know exactly what he wants his reader to do, and any ad that does not elicit the desired action is an absolute waste of time and money.
In order to elicit the desired action from the prospect, all ads are written according to a simple "master formula" which is:
Never forget the basic rule of advertising copywriting; If the ad is not read, it won't stimulate any sales, if it is not seen, it cannot be read; and if it does not command or grab the attention of the reader, it will not be seen!
Most successful advertising copywriters know these fundamentals backwards and forwards. Whether you know them already or you're just now being exposed to them, your knowledge and practice of these fundamentals will determine the extent of your success as an advertising copywriter.
We wish you a successful advertising.
