I am happy you used the word “learn.” Yes indeed! That is what we are all doing in SFI on daily basis, simply learning the business day in day out. We can all learn to write adds if we do not want to use the free ads SFI has made available to all affiliates. Personally, I am not good at writing ads so I use SFI free ads. That is what I always recommend for others to use.

If however you want to learn to write your own ads, there are many places on the web you can learn about ads and

When you advertise your SFI gateway links you need to write an eye catching Text ads. The exact word to describe an effective ads is "concise" meaning short but complete.

We must remember that the space is usually limited. There are only certain number of words that you can fit. Or even if you are not limited with space we should always make our ads concise.

There are three basic elements of an ads:

1. Unique feature of what you are advertizing. You must

Dear Dan,

It is a good question as not all of us were in marketing business before, but there is a simple rule in writing the effective ads.

Put yourself in the shoes of people who will read your ad, your targeted group, and ask yourself what would catch your attention.

First - the picture in your add should stand out, something with the contrast that will cache an eye of a reader and put the photo on some real people on it as it gives more confidence to those who

Writing ads is about filling needs.

The structure of a good ad starts with identifying a problem and ends in offering a solution. Or you can ask a common question and give an honest answer, or State what a product is and the tell what it's done for you.

The last one is the testimonial style ad and done right it can be your most powerful.

Examples:

Does your Paycheck cover your bills?

Many people just like you are covering their bills and saving

The only way to learn to write effective ads is to invest time and money into a learning process, whether you take courses in advertising, research into the subject on-line, buy e-books that cover some of the basics of ad-writing and NLP (neurolinguistic programming). Now, you can cut your time in half by following the beginning writer's
chief rule: Write with yourself as the audience.

What interests you? What draws you to SFI? List those factors and how you can connect the two.

To write an effective ad, try following these tips:

1) Find a way to convince the reader that SFI is a tried and true business, and not your average get-rich-quick scheme. Most people are skeptical about earning money from working at home, so your ad should have enough information to reel in potential customers and affiliates.

2) Make sure that said information is realistic. Provide some testimonials and its Better Business Bureau rating. At the same time, don't let your
