Ads & Headlines

Introduction

        You may not realize it, but if you’re already in a business and are advertising, you could be throwing away money. I don’t mean physically, I mean through your potential. When a reader sees an Advertisement, it’s usually an Image or Headline they see first. This Headline is extremely important to catching the attention of that reader. If they already know what the context of the advertisement is about and aren’t interested, they will probably not bother reading further. For this reason, making a good headline can make a HUGE difference in your business.  It needs to be catchy and make the reader question the headline.
            Being creative while telling the truth can take some time. You don’t want to mislead the reader because that doesn’t help you at all. Have you ever received an e-mail with a subject line such as ‘Here’s the information you requested’, though you never requested anything from that person or company? I get it all the time and it’s quite annoying, even disrespectful. Do they think that I’m actually going to visit their website if I know they are using tactics like these? Think again…no way. It’s all about conducting real, professional business. There’s no need to fool a customer into signing up or buying your product. Real business is the only way to keep happy customers, plus they’re more likely to tell their friends about you.

            I have written out many Headlines and Advertisements that you may use for your business advertising. Don’t hesitate to create your own, or edit the ones here. It’s completely up to you but this should give you a good idea of the messages I’m talking about. You can use the exact examples here for your business as well. It doesn’t really matter to me, just use your brain. If for any reason there aren’t examples here you can use, come to our forum and we’ll help you out!

-What’s your goal? What are your dreams? Want to make them a reality?
 

You may be asking yourself how these even come close to a headline/subject line for your business. As I said before, you don’t want to describe the product. People want to know how they’ll benefit from whatever it is you offer. If you can reel them in through the headline, you’re one step closer. Again, catch the interest of them first. Don’t try to sell to the customer without saying WHY it would be a great purchase. Normally you purchase a product because you want to enjoy it, you want to benefit from the item. So keep that in mind when creating a headline. This doesn’t necessarily hold true for an item sold on an Auction site. If it’s an information product you’re selling, then it WOULD hold true.

Now, here is some Ad text you could include in your advertisements. These are samples so please feel free to use them, edit them, add to them…whatever you want to do is fine.

Ads

-We all want a financially successful life; why else would you work or own a business? Most people would agree, having a happier lifestyle is definitely worth the effort. Would a more financially secure, enjoyable lifestyle be something you want? Seriously motivated people will only make it that far, are you one of them?

-Today’s society is unhealthy but many are changing. Have you taken that step to join the millions of people reducing health problems and increasing their health status? The reality is, most of us don’t have time to exercise every other day. Many options are available but which ones REALLY work? We have the answer and you will thank us later
 
-Advertising & Marketing your business is one of the biggest issues for small businesses. Do you have solutions of getting your name out to the public so they will visit your website? If you say ‘Not really’, we say ‘We do’. Taking some of the pressure and headache off you is why we’re here.

-Dreaming is easy but making that a reality is not. Are you aware many people make their dreams come true? Did you know there are thousands of ways to make money just through the internet alone? Did you know we can help you make those dreams come true? You may not know any of those questions…but they are all true.

-Do you like receiving e-mail after e-mail about business opportunities that say they’ll make you earn thousands a day? Most of those e-mails are coming from people not making $100 a day. There are opportunities that really DO make you hundreds or even thousands a day, you just need to do research. Talk to us because the research is over.

-The more traffic to your website, the better. You can get more for free, yes FREE. There are thousands of sites that will get you traffic as well. In fact, you could sign up with them all but you would go crazy! Or, sign up with a couple and receive the same potential traffic as thousands of sites combined!

-Get into the groove by having your own website hosting and domain name. It’s not a fortune like you’re probably thinking, in fact less than most of our competitors!

-If the internet was free of lies, scams, and schemes…how many wealthy people would exist today? How many times have you been suckered into one of those lies, scams, or schemes? Millions of people lose money because they aren’t careful enough and believe they’ll be rich tomorrow, think again people.

-Have you purchased a product through the internet and then found it cheaper somewhere else? Our products are some of the cheapest, best quality offered. We take pride in valuing customers first before the company. If you have a minute to visit our website, please do so, you won’t be disappointed.

-Service to the customer is #1. An unhappy customer normally does not come back. We STRIVE for superior customer service and promise you will not leave unsatisfied. Have you had issues with other companies? Try us next time, you’ll be happy you chose us.

-Do you have a J.O.B. (Just Over Broke)? You can easily earn extra income daily from your computer. No, you will not become rich or wealthy in a month, those are all lies. It always takes some work and time, but is definitely a potential for the future. Products that sell like hot bread and service that goes unmatched always wins over the customer. How does a few hundred dollars a week sound to you?

-----------------------------------------------

Again, you are free to edit these, add to them, and change them any way you’d like. They are to help you and CAN be used for multiple businesses. We highly suggest using them in e-mails and newsletters. Match some of the Headlines to the Ads, whatever you want to do. Good luck!
