Great question!!

I started my career as a commercial artist, then spent the next 15 years in advertising..

I have a few suggestions...
First, read all the articles that SFI has to offer, they have been successfully promoting SFI for over 16 years! I don't believe in re-inventing the wheel unless it's necessary.

Next, go to your A2A friends and solicit ideas. You can also find great tips in the forum!

I personally have always found great resources in bookstores, libraries and on the internet. In bookstores, look in the business section.

Of course, you can get lots of great ideas by just querying on search engines... Google, dogpile, yahoo, etc.... Not all search engines give the same results.
You can work on your search question by varying it based on the results until you find what you are looking for. If you are looking for text, search for text wording, if you are looking for artist design, then search for that.... Be specific if possible and tweak according to your results.

Then, get started writing, designing and promoting. Keep a record of what and where so you will know which ads are working and where!

You will be self-educating to become a great advertiser!

Good luck, I hope this helps :-)

Hello Dan,

If you have never written ads before it is more a case of learning from doing.

There are some basic principles when it comes to writing no matter what or why you are writing.

What you do need to write should be clear and concise.

As a new writer the tracking of your ads is imperative as this will show you what is being read and what is not.

You should also do split test runs of your ads and test them in different places. It may be the ad you have written appeals more to one sector of the public than another.

With the actual writing of the ad the title is the most important. If the title does not command attention then anything else you write will probably be irrelevant. (If a title does not appeal to me I won't waste time reading the ad). Once you have a title that works then you need to write some compelling body to the ad, making sure you have something that will encourage the reader to take action by signing up or purchasing whatever you are advertising.

I hope this helps and wish you every success in your SFI business

Hello!

This is probably one of question that all of us asc our sponsor at the beginning of the advertising.

Advertising is our main way of work and it is certainly important that we choose the right words that will attract.

At the beginning, each of us should think about this - what was our sponsor said in his advertise that we have attracted and intrigued. Or, which of words usually attracts people looking for work?

However, much of the advertising that contains words that would attract, but practice has shown that some of them "do not work".

I read somewhere and stick to the following rules, the ad should have the following form : Attention - Interest - Desire - Action!

This means that advertising must first attract attention. Then, the reader must recognize their interest. Ad should awaken a desire in some who sees it and make him into action.

You can see how others are doing and to start to be an inspiration to you, and then I believe it will become routine.

I wish you good luck with that!

Thats a nice one. I have never written any ads before joining and now I create different ads for every gateway that I promote and I change them weekly or if I see that I get low response on my ad.

As everything else in life and any business states that you need to read and learn first.
You have prepared ads in SFI marketing tab and you can see examples of effective ads.

You can see that those ads are short but they provide all the needed info about offer.

My advice to you is to take a closer look to SFI ads plus other ads that you come across daily on internet and try to create your own version or variation of them and see which one get you results.

I usually try to show few main things about offer and here is my latest one that I am using for last 4 days just as an example :

Why this is No1 online business.
Works for 16 years.
Paid out millions to its affiliates.
Real legit company.
Multiple income streams.
Full 24/7 support worldwide.
All marketing tools included.
And guess what its FREE
Visit : (i have a free website about sfi and here goes my link )
Here you dont need thousands of people
to earn. 5 is enough.
Just learn how and create your income online.
Only way to fail here is to quit.

This is for SFI gateway and I also have various combinations for TC Pricebenders ECA and I test every ad for a whole week to see the response.

I hope this answer helps you and I am sure that you will become a pro after few months in creating effective ads.

Here's one way:

1 - write down in point form the 5 most attractive things about SFI that made you sign up.

2 - Rate them in their order of importance to you. 1 being most important and 5 least.

3 - Point no:1 is your headline. Try to make it as short and as catchy as you can.

4 - Points no: 3,4 & 5 make up the body of your ad. Again try to write the point as short and as appealing as possible.

5 - Point no:2 is your base line. Try to write this point in just 3 -5 words.

6 - Make sure your SFI Gateway is carried on the ad next to a line that calls for action.

7 - Finally try and find an eye catching and relevant image to go with it.

* Make sure all your points are factually accurate and try to use words that are sincere and personal. Adjust the size and layout to fit the context of where you will be placing the ad. This approach will work even for audio or video ads.

Most importantly have a blast creating your very own ad. I wish you all the best.

Learning to write effective ads as new affiliates is just like learning to write ABCs when we are starting out holding a pencil.

It takes practice and a lot of practice to make our ads better and effective each time.

However, SFI has made it easier for us by giving as samples of text ads in the marketing aids that can be found in the black marketing tab.

As of now there are 34 text ads that we can preview that can serve as our guide in drafting our own ads.

Also, you can browse on the available websites and links of other successful affiliates and their ads can serve as your guide as well aside from what SFI has provided for us.

To make it original, you may add on your personal experience to it and how SFI has worked wonders for you.

Mix them up all together and with lots of practice and tryouts, you may find the best and most effective ad that will work for you.

Let us also not forget that different ads work for different folks, thus you may try writing different ads depending on the age group you are targeting.

Hope this helps.

For text ads, it's all about the headline. As people scroll through classifieds, the headline is the first thing and often only thing they'll see. Headlines should be short and to the point. One tip is to keep removing words from your headline until you're at the bare minimum. This will ensure your headline is short and direct.
Try to drive an emotional response from the reader. Use words that will trigger an emotion. Try not to use the same words as everyone else by making use of a thesaurus.
In the ad body, make sure it is also short and to the point. People are not looking to read a novel here. In the ad, state the problem, why the problem exists and how your product/service addresses it.
Make sure your ad as a clear call to action in the body. Spell out exactly what you want your reader to do. It may sound funny, but most people want to be told what to do so don't be afraid to ask.
The final tip I have is to triple check you have your URL (gateway address) correct. Copy it exactly from your ad and paste it into a browser window to ensure it works and goes where you want it to go.

Hi Dan,

Advertising is about whetting someone's appetite for something they didn't even know they wanted until they saw it. Watch how they present ads on TV, for example. I know I've wanted a Dyson vacuum cleaner ever since I saw their ad, even though I already have a perfectly good vacuum cleaner at home. That's the power of advertising!

To harness the power of advertising in this case, you have to convince those who read your ads that they really need your product or service. If you lack experience, I suggest you start the learning process by using the examples SFI provides and add your personal touch to them. These examples are effective, but if everyone uses them exactly as they are written, they won't stand out from the rest. That is why your personal touch is so important.

I would also suggest you look for as many ads as you can on the Internet that are similar to what you are offering, and study the ones that appeal to you the most. Which ones do you think are the most promising or attractive? Which ones make you want to know more about their product? Once you understand what it is about them that provokes a positive reaction in you, you'll have a better idea of how to present your own ads.

By experimenting with different ideas and concepts, you will learn what works and what doesn't. It takes some creativity to get it right but you are not alone: even advertisers who do this for a living have sometimes embarked on ad campaigns that failed to produce the results they were hoping for. Failing is how you learn what to avoid in the future, so don't be afraid to experiment until you get it right.

Finally, I think that if you write your ads with a specific audience in mind, you will get better results. In order to do this, you need to do your homework! For example, if you know what your target audience thinks about online auctions, make sure your ads contain something that appeals directly to their dreams or desires; a phrase or a word that will goad them into action when they read your ads.

I hope you find these ideas useful. Good luck!

In order to learn to write effective ads when you are new and don’t want to spend a lot of money, and can be learned as quickly and efficiently as possible is as follows:

1. Ask what others have done – and you have done that;

2. Pose that question a google (my favorite search engine) online – which I have done;

3. Check at Udemy.com to see if they have a course on this topic for free – which I also have done.


I have tendency to locate everything I can on a new topic I want to learn. Through the use of the internet I found blogs, websites and eBooks on this topic available at no charge. The best example of how, I found at "makealivingwriting.com/learn-great-ad-copywriters". This site is worthy of checking out since the example used “drives the point home”. The author of this site also shares how she learned how to write effective ads which was through “Freelance Writers Den” although this site requires a paid membership to join.

Don’t forget that the kindle store at amazon has many eBooks for free on this topic and the free books change daily.

In addition, there is YouTube to check.

Udemy.com has become one of my favorite sites for learning. If you are not familiar with Udemy.com, it is the “world’s largest destination for online courses”. They have a large number of courses available at no charge, at next to no charge and upwards from there.

It is important to realize that a topic can be located under many categories, depending on the course instructor. As an example, “writing effective E-Press releases” – offered free is available under Business->Business writing -> online writing courses -> Free.

Alternatively, another category is Design -> various subcategories.

Also, featured courses such as “intro to online advertising” is available for free but not categorized. There are many others too.

Obviously there are a number of other methods. Thank you for asking this question because I am very interested in learning this topic too and am interested in what other affiliates have done.
