Aim to bring inrepparttar subscribers who *do* see your ad.

2. What an ad copy should be:

Impossible! Your ad didnt bring in any sales, and it went out to all those people too. You were probably talking out of your you-know-what that's why!

It has to be understood that these subscribers are receiving solo advertisements day after day. Or with some lists, hour after hour. Do you honestly think they sit down and read through every ad copy?

I dont, I delete most of them.

Summing it up. Be quick, be torepparttar 101201 point, *do not* write more than 2 - 3 paragraphs of text. Almost no one will read through that.Who know's, your ad may have sold otherwise. That's if you didnt expect your viewer's to read that long essay of an ad.

A subtle hint for success: make your subject line relevant torepparttar 101202 offer! Subject line's are so important if you takerepparttar 101203 lame way out and use things like...

Re: hello 7,897,428,322 FREE ads forever!!! Dont delete, you'll regret it for LIFE. ok

...your bound to be put where allrepparttar 101204 cheesy spam-like offer's go. In my 'Deleted Items' box.

As both an ad publisher, and a long time advertiser, i strongly reccommend that you write a subject line that sums up exactly what you have to offer. You are now relaying this message to every subscriber. They *all* know what you can give them, and make a conscience decision to take you up on it or not.

Everyone see's a subject line. Not everyone will seerepparttar 101205 ad.

If you use an irrelevant, "catchy" subject line. Your fair game for allrepparttar 101206 people like me who will just deleterepparttar 101207 ad.Without ever knowing what you actually offered.

This becamerepparttar 101208 difference between $0 profit, and $1500 profit for me.

And guess which one worked.
