Behold! He with

Be not afraid, for he brings hope. Tremble not, for he will calm you. You shall see as a blind man cured. Riding close behind comes with him mysteries of wealth, knowledge, and power.
OK, so do I have your attention? I called you to read ad and take action didn’t I? I made you “want” to read more, to “see” this light so to speak. Don’t feel duped…J You have not been. What I present here is a simple psychology behind reason someone responds to an advertisement. The “Lost Secrets” I refer to are right in front of you.
When you write a headline you must grab readers attention within 2 seconds. That’s it! You get no more time. Do not stop, do not pass go, and certainly do not collect your $200. Certainly do not believe anyone who will tell you differently. To get your prospect to your offer your ad must be enticing, yet present a certain “hope” to reader that what lies on other side of text is a solution.
But, it should not be just any solution. This solution must solve a specific problem. There is no other reason to entice your prospects. You can think of tons of needs and wants but simple, cut and dry, black and white of it is that your customer “needs” a “solution” to a “problem”.
This problem could be anything as simple as a new computer chair to much more powerful and complicated ink pen. Every pun intended…J The pen offers you ability to write, and what you write will be ads. Not just any ads mind you. But prospect pulling, customer converting, sales exploding ads.
Using power of pen, and written word has caused wars and saved lives. It has placed a value upon every real and conceivable thing on planet. When you see written word it pulls you into it’s meaning. Too often today we are bombarded with advertisements that SCREAM at you to Buy, Buy, Buy Now! Get Rich Quick! Make Tons Of Cash Sitting On Your Duff! Either guys that write these type ads are desperate or they are idiots.
Get real people. It doesn’t work as good as well written, enticing, hope giving, problem solving, ads. Simple as that. Who else would try to sell you a SPAM blocker in an email you never asked for in first place. They would argue that it’s clever, or that sheer number of ads will pull in money, and make it worth it. They play numbers game. Are you?
Are you simply throwing as many ads out there as you possibly can hoping someone will find you and your product? I tell you now that doing that is like throwing mud against a wall while standing next to it. Some will stick but most will come back and slap you in face.
