Classified Ads - Clarify Your Reasons

Just like a listing in your local newspaper, classified ads encompass the entire spectrum of advertising. Precautionary screening is the most effective form of research you can use before using this method with your affiliate products.

This, simply by it's own nature, is one of the most difficult forms of advertising methods available. You have limited words and space to convey limitless information. Those thought of as "pros' in the Ad world will often try to discourage you from using them because they themselves have not succeeded as well as expected.

Your first step in using classified ads for your affiliate products is finding lucrative locations to display them for free. Those "experts" will jump in here again trying to dissuade you from using free placements but if you use them wisely, the payoff can be great. Research those locations that offer free placement by looking at their rate of receiving traffic. Using keywords alone will not find your best outlets for classified ads. You must combine the location with the traffic. Then begins the toughest part.

Your one chance at grabbing the most readers starts by creating a headline or title line that shows why reading yours is in their best interest. Alphabetical top listing may seem sneaky but it works! Make your opening line "pop" out and stop the reader from going any further. Use wordings like "Absolutely your best place to...", or "A1 listing shows proven results..." The psychological triggers act almost as blinders.

Remember the old adage "Hook, line and sinker" when creating your classified ads. Hook em with your title, tighten your hold through honest facts why your product is tops, then,give your readers something to sink their teeth into. An added bonus when they purchase from you will help close the sale.
