*       Start with an action word

*       Ask a question

*       Create curiosity

*       Make an alarming statement

Body: The purpose is to set up the call to action. The reason your ad will exists is to get the click to the website you will be promoting. But before you ask for the click, give reason to the reader why it is important for them to click the ad and what is the benefit they will get by making that click?

First list all the features of your product or service then, the benefits of those features. Write at least one benefit for each feature, or avoid using that feature.

Call to Action: The purpose is to sell the click. It is important for you to understand that each part has only one purpose. When you think of ads in this way it becomes easier to create them because you will be using a “block building” approach.

Make your call to action simple to understand and not tricky.

By following these simple steps you can create a classified ad that works great.
