After writing my post about making $25 practically instantly with free ads, I received a few questions about writing a good free ad. [Side Note: I have had 2 more sales since my original post]
With that said, I decided to share with you the way I approach an ad in steps.
Step 1) Find a product that is selling well in ClickBank. If this is your first time using ClickBank, you will need to sign-up to get an affiliate link. This is the link that credits you for sales.
Step 2) Create headline - come up with a headline that grabs the reader’s attention. But let’s suppose you can’t think of a headline, that’s cool — here are 3 links with enough ideas to generate several great headlines:

Step 3) For the next step, you will write 1-3 paragraphs about the product. Typically I will review the sales page and paraphrase the most interesting parts. On thing I should I add, I typically have better results if I have actually purchased and used the product. I realize this is not always possible but if you promote a product you actually like and use, you will get better results. I have found a smaller amount of text rather than a long sales type letter creates better results.
Step 4) Do you remember step 1 where you got your Clickbank affiliate link? I typically add it in a couple of spots in my ad and then at the end.
So what do you think? It’s doesn’t sound too hard right? Be warned though, not all of your ads will be home runs but even if you hit .300 (3 out of 10) — you will still make money.
Please Note: one key item I will save for a future post is choosing the money making keywords to use in the ad. If you are ready to go now, do some research on google for the term ”keyword research”. Also, use google’s free keyword tool at: Google Keyword Suggestion Tool
