By Darryl Peterson


Classified advertising is an incredibly successful way to promote and market yourself on the Internet. Classified sites like Craigslist are a great way to get lots of visitors every month which makes it a great way to reach your chosen target market. If you really want to get the most from these sites you need to create highly convertible classified ads. You can't just post any old advertisement and expect to get lots of hits from it. You need to keep some very important things in mind when you write your ads and this article will outline three tips you can use to write good ads.

You want an ad that gets potential customers to take the next step. You can potentially make more sells if you use urgency tactics in your ads. Scarcity tactics are extremely effective at getting those who are unsure to buy. You only have a small amount of space and a few seconds to get your ad to do its job. Even though some prospects will be hesitant, the majority of them will try to take advantage of your offer before it's too late. To incorporate scarcity into your process you can give a discount that ends at a certain day. It's totally up to you how you bring in this factor; think out of the box and you'll get better ideas. By concentrating on tactics that work you will start to see success little by little or maybe even in one big flood.

When creating your ads body, you should make it about the most important parts of whatever product or service you're writing the ad about. Even if you write the greatest headline, your ad won't be effective if it doesn't have a body that goes along with it. Your ad should connect with your prospects because they must know that the benefits are tailored towards them if you want them to take action. To really make sure your ad is perfect, look at it as if you were someone else reading it. You could also let someone else read it to see if they find your ad appealing on an emotional level.

Last but certainly not least, advertise your product as many times as you can in order to accurately gauge whether or not people are receiving your ad favorably. By tweaking your advertisements bit by bit, you can determine what works and what doesn't. So your ads are going to change depending on how well people respond to them, and that's crucial with copywriting. The more exposure you garner for your ad, the better off you'll be when it comes to choosing whether or not to rewrite your ad. If you are going to change anything about your ad, never change more than one element at a time. That means not changing the title if you've changed the body, or vice versa.

All in all, from the above tips we come to the conclusion that creating a worthy classified ad takes a lot more than just writing. Classified ads are very powerful when done the right way so you need to take the time to learn how to craft effective ads. This article will lead you in the right direction.
