Creating ads particularly in SFI is a very technical thing to do. As such, if not properly handled, the effort could yield negative and unexpected results. That is the singular reason why adequate care must be taken when creating ads to promote your business. For effectiveness, you need to do what is right, then do it appropriately by avoiding certain things as a rule.

Among such things you should avoid when creating SFI ads are:

In my experience I think the things that should be avoided when creating ads is anything that is false or misleading.

You also want to keep it simple and straight to the point. Do not give away too much info, you want them to click and continue on to your landing page and sign up. THEN they will be given the professional SFI marketing information.

I also recommend not using the word FREE. In my opinion,this tends to attract those that want "something for nothing"

Good question! you don't have much space for advertising and don't waste that valuable space for something that is not appropriate.

Here are the things that should be avoided when creating SFI ads.

1) Try to avoid misrepresentation and misinformation about SFI. Do not mislead people with your advertisement. Specially promising certain income.

2) Do not let other similar programs down to bring SFI up. Present SFI alone without mentioning the negatives of others.

3)

I'm pretty sure that when you create your ad, you should consider the following:

- Do not make false promises,

- Do not show business as it is not, such as - a small investment of time, etc.

- Do not promote and do not promise any big money in a short time,

- Do not use inappropriate photos to illustrate your ad (I had the opportunity to see the ads that are illustrated with scenes of violence, and similar photos).

On the other hand, you should

Good question!

Avoid..

> anything untrue or exaggerated - already too many new PSAs drop out before they get going, we need to be honest about the opportunities and not lead people astray in any way!

> too many words, or complicated words - Keep It Simple - for many potential PSAs, English is a second language, and no one wants to be made to feel stupid by 'clever' use of words!

> anything that you personally don't understand, don't believe in

Marketing is a science of mental triggers and tailored relationships.

The end result of your campaigns should be to leave a good impression. Leave the viewer feeling informed, and wanting more information. So there are a ton of things you can do poorly in advertising and marketing including the use of certain colors in your ads.

Text wise leave out:

- Negative wording.
- Anything that sounds like a scare tactic.
- False urgency.
- Misinformation.

Avoid the following:

- giving the impression of instant riches - if you sign up
- stating how much a person would earn - within a period
- offering 'bribe' for signing up - money or product etc..
- giving promises of easy money - don't have to do much work
- 'bad mouthing' other similar business - by name or insinuations
- providing incorrect data/information - need to be very accurate
- revealing how much you or others have earned in SFI - this is frowned

Hello!

Great question! People don't think about it that much and make some huge adds that people avoid! People are fulfilled with informations so all they see is a Title - some make a food one!

You should avoid words like:

- Fast money maker;
- Few minutes per day;
etc.

Be original!

Wish you a lot success!
