SFI has some great ads already written that you can use,but if you want to write your own then just use these ads as a guide. Also don' advertise the SFI url.
I have found that on many Text Ad Exchanges that any ad with SFI in the url is banned. Therefore I have built a website that I advertise that gives the basics of SFI, TripleClicks, and the Price Benders Auction Site. I advertise this site's url and also TripleClicks url. I find that these ads go thru with no problems.
I am asuming

First of all you must read and learn.
There is a million examples on the internet , but you need to choose your target group.
You need to know who you’re writing it for ,how that person thinks ,what that person needs.
1.Write a strong headline that works.
2.Show your product
3.Explain why is it a good deal
4.Explain why should they buy it now, rather than later

Take yoo time, writing great ads takes time and energy,but you will be rewarded

Let's not reinvent the wheels and read up on all the available resources available both on SFI and on line resources by typing it on how to write effective ads etc

Keep I always simple short and sweet

Research and Model after the successful ones and fine tune along the way to see what works best and what don't

Most important of all is to keep trying and doing it and then fine

For me, I believe it is a two way thing.

We know that experience is a good teacher. What I want to draw from this is that you'll have to experiment on different ad write ups and study the one that yields more results. This might be a hard way to start if you have no Idea of what to write at first.

For you to know what you'll write in order to advertise something you should ask yourself the questions what do I know about this thing? What interest do I have in this? What is captivating

Hello!

The answer to your question is very simple.

Remember all the advertisements you've ever read, heard or seen. Think about what they have in common. Come by yourself. What kind of advertising I like to see?

In general people don't like that we are selling them something. People are looking for solutions to their problems, looking for value or benefit from what the market offers. When you discover what it is that people want and need, you will be halfway there.

You might not have written any ads before, but you have read thousands of them over the years!!

Keep in mind the ones that have appealed to you and those that leave you cold. Think of what you would respond to about SFI or TripleClicks.

Then go to marketing aids, wander thru the pre-prepared ads there. Find the training material in SFI. Go to askSC, find question(s)on subject, read ALL the answers. If you still aren't sure, talk to upline or a2a friends, or try asking

I just wish to inform everyone reading this question... that SFI does not allow us to write our own Ads, until we reach a certain level within the business...I think it is BTL but I could be wrong.

And, even then it is of utmost importance that you get Ads that you have written out personally okayed by SFI....these are the rules.

As far as most of us go, the Text Ads that SFI have already written for us ....are a great way to go. We don't have to write them because they have

Hello Dan -

For me, it was part trial and error and learning as i went. SFI has many different templates to look at and pull from.

The ads I ran I always made sure they were to the point and as clear as possible. Stating who it is, what you are offering and then where to get it.

The other thing I would advise is to become familiar with key codes and the hit tracking page. This way you can see for sure what is working and where it is working. Tweek what isn't and
