Charlene ================================================ Feature Article: ================================================ How to Get People to Read Your Ads like Crazy! By: Neil Moran "mailto:neil@forfreedom.ws" Rule One :- The Headline The headline should summarize the whole offer. It should grab the eye, and make you want to read the subheading. The headline should intrigue and captivate the reader. It's sole aim is to make the reader continue on to read the body text. You should take great time and trouble over the headline. Let's say we're selling a book on home security, yes, I know, boring and you might start with something like this:- "CRIME FIGURES UP" This is very bad, but typical of an amateur. People don't care about 'crime statistics'. That's boring, they only care about their own house or car being broken into. OK, how about this:- IS YOUR HOME AT RISK? A bit better, but not brilliant. It does personalize it and does play on peoples fear. It's still pretty weak though. What we need is a headline that will grab you by the throat and force you to read on. How about this:- HOW TO BURGLE YOUR OWN HOUSE AND STEAL YOUR OWN CAR Now that's what I call a 'killer' headline. You've just got to read on, haven't you? Always think very carefully about your headline. Make it extremely intriguing, interesting or exciting. If you're selling a 'straight' product, then use a slightly different approach, the headline should state what the product is, with a few adjectives in front. Say for a Tea Trolley, your headline would be:- New, Italian, Fold-away TEA TROLLEY There should also be a picture of the product. The picture and the headline simply act to grab the eye of anyone who is remotely interested in purchasing this type of product. Rule Two:- The Subheading The subheading should expand upon the story hinted in the main heading, and draw the reader inexorably into reading the body text. Subheadings for straight products should outline the main features and benefits of the product. Again, boring, but this is what works, A subheading for the Tea Trolley would be:- "New from Italy, Lightweight, Fold-away Trolley is available in your choice of three colors." As I say, boring, but this is what works, so don't try and get clever or 'artsy'. Here's the subheading for the security book:- "I've nicked hundreds of cars and done over fifty burglaries. Would you like to know what I've got in mind for YOUR place?" Brilliant, or what??!! You've just got to read into the body text, haven't you? Remember this is the MAIN function of the heading and subheading. Notice the quotes, it seems as though the guy was talking to YOU, the reader of the advert, but the quotes imply that it is just something that this burglar said, some time ago, to whoever it was he was speaking to. Rule Three:- The Copy Always overstate the product, but within the bounds of truth and reasonableness! For some reason long copy, sell books. People will actually read an entire page of text if the story is strong enough. For straight products, the body of the text really just gives the feature and benefits, together with a slight allusion to an improvement in lifestyle. A classic piece of rubbish for the security book would be:- "We at ACME security have been leaders in the field of home security for over seventy years, winning the Queens award for industry on at least five occasions." So what? Who cares? What's that got to do with ME? Here's an important little technique that can be used to fascinate your readers. It's the 'reverse' technique. In this technique, you take what is considered an obvious and well know fact about your subject, and then state the exact opposite in your advert. We all know that in order to keep burglars out, we have to lock doors. Right? I mean, that's obvious. OK we're going to take this obvious fact and simply state the exact opposite. Like this:- Why leaving doors UNLOCKED can sometimes be better than locking them. "How can this be?" you ask yourself. Why fitting a car alarm can sometimes result in car thieves flocking to break into your car. "What's that?!! Surely with an alarm fitted, they'll give your car a miss?" Well it depends. There are several reasons why sometimes (which is all I said) the opposite might be true. For example, if you have a car alarm then that means you have something worth stealing. Also car thieves are full of machismo and they like stealing difficult cars, they stay clear of the easy ones because there's not enough danger and excitement. Most car alarms can be bypassed. Get the idea? To sum up, your headline must grab the reader's attention, it doesn't matter how good your offer is, if your ad doesn't get read, you've lost them before you get a fair shot. Once you've got their attention, you've got to keep them interested. Your ad copy must intrigue and captivate them so they will read your entire offer.... --------------------------------------------------- Discover the powerful system Neil uses to get his ads read and drive traffic to his site by sending a blank email to:- "mailto:traffic@msc-pro.com" --------------------------------------------------- *************** Paid Ads *************** **NEVER ever Go for Pennies again!** This program is booming and no wonder!

"http://www.readthemwell.com/Default.asp?RefID=3096" %%%%%%%%% I WISH I KNEW %%%%%%%%% FREE SAFE LISTS? WHAT ARE THEY? DO THEY WORK? My advice is to stray away from Free Safe Lists. Free safe lists are simply a list of people that have all agreed to send and receive adverts to each other. At one time free safe lists were very good. Today with Spam issues running rampant, free safe lists are going on the way out. Yes some times they work depending on what free safe lists you are using. Those that are huge are really less likely to net you referrals. Those that are very small....well not enough of them there to receive your advert. Those with around 100 to 1000 members are the best. To blatantly send to an advert thru free safe list can be sure death because you can easily be booted from whatever it is you are promoting if that person chooses to turn you in for spam. People that sign up for free safe list many times forget what they signed up for. Many people that sign up for free safe lists do so because it says FREE and they do not even understand what it is. IF you do use free safe lists then PROTECT yourself. Instead of spewing out your advert use TEASER ads. Send your prospects to your autoresponder for more information. This way you know that person was interested and sent for the information. YOU also have Protected yourself from being accused of SPAM! The person REQUESTED the Information. THEY Sent for the Information! Use Paid safe lists instead! ************************* 10 Dollars 20 Ads ************************* COMPUTER/INTERNET PERSONS NEEDED!! $500 - $5000 a month working online from your own PC!

Networking systems ARE the means to Exponential Growth! Networking Systems through Joint Ventures ARE a process through which you are continually AND systematically exchanging growth methods with your allies. In internet CIRCLES, this technique is one that has a system of cross-promoting AMONG you and your allies through a combined effort. Although it is unethical to share email addresses, many ways exist to FUEL systematical networking systems. One such example, IS the coupling of PRODUCT or SERVICE SPECIALS from 2 or more business parties. The marketing, then would be exclusively Targeted, to JUST those groups. HOW DOES THIS HELP YOU??? Each participant promotes the package to their UNIQUE CLIENT BASE or list of Subscribers. NO contact information is EVER exchanged between participants. THIS COLUMN IS AN EXACT EXAMPLE of this method of highly successful marketing. 1. IT SERVES a LARGE, target-market that complements AND assists the other participants IN THIS UNIQUE CIRCLE!!! 2. It offers SUBSTANTIAL Advertising information AND PRICING that can be COMBINED with other offers. Quite SIMPLY, this method of EXPONENTIAL Growth CAN'T BE BEAT!!!
