Writing ads is an art. But, it is one that can easily be learnt with a little bit of discipline. Most small business owners need to learn this skill to successfully market their business. If you are working at home you will need to tailor your ads to suit how people are going to contact you and try to make that as easy as possible.
Small business marketing is not a lot different than that of a larger business. A very important point to remember before starting to write your ads is, not to rush in and write just 'any old ad'. You can work all day rushing around doing all sorts of jobs, but when it comes to writing your ads, stop and clearly focus on what you are doing. This is a very important money making job!
Using Keywords. Keywords are words that describe your products or services and align with your USP (Unique Selling Point). For example, 'candles guaranteed to throw a perfume' as opposed to 'candles', and the keyword is 'perfumed' and will attract buyers wanting perfumed candles. Another example would be 'home based business' as opposed to 'business', and the keyword would be 'home based'.
The reality is that the words 'candles' and 'business' are keywords in their own, right but they do not really hit the target market as they are too broad.
Selling Benefits. So, when writing your ads, describe your product or service specifically with a keyword, and then focus on the benefit. Your ad must state the benefit of your product or service to the client. Solve their problem! Like, 'your room will smell so romantic'. That is what you are doing when stating the benefit.
The Attention Grabbing Headline. Now that you know how you are going to focus your ad, and what you are going to promote, you must write an attention grabbing headline. You must get people to stop and read the rest of the ad. Write at least 10 headlines (better if you do 20+) and see which best suits the product and the benefit.
Use words like: Announcing..., Who Else Is Interested In..., Stop That (Backache)..., 9 Proven Ways To...., Have You Tried...., New In This Week..., Exposed..., Discover...., For This Week Only..., For This Week's Bonus.... There are a lot of really dynamic headlines, but you can see that by having a great headline your customers will want to know more.
Placing Your Business Name. This should always go at the bottom of the ad. If your customers are interested in the products you are advertising, they will look for your address. Don't forget to put in all your contact details. Don't detract from the heading by adding your business name at the top.
A really good point is to sit down and write up a dozen or so ads at a time while you have clear focus and you can then work those ads to suit your particular promotion at the time.
Learn from looking other ads and keep a grab file full of ads that you like.

Business Ads For Free
?Everyday Google sells several $10 million's in pay-per-clicks. But
I get all mine absolutely FREE ? and now I am going to show you
how to get yours FREE also!?
That's right ? Start Sharing in the *Incredible* Secret So Few Others Know About that Allow Them to Actually Get All Their Pay-Per-Click Advertising Absolutely FREE!
Fast facts about this amazing NEW SECRET!...
This is an incredible system developed by none other than Dr Jon Cohen, MD (retired) who found a little-known ?twist? in how to use the pay-per-click (PPC) and paid-for targeted advertising programs at Google? and the other search engines.
Dr Jon has personally used this to:
Eliminate over $87 million in otherwise paid-for and PPC ads at Google? and other search engines over the course of about 9 years now!
Generate over $314 million in product sales as a result of this incredible savings!
Acquire a personal wealth of more than $68 million! (Net)
Start and develop 16 online ventures of his own.
Has coached ?live? where he taught others this same amazing formula - including 198 executives from major Fortune 500 and FortuneSM 1000 companies, 14 representatives of publicly-traded companies on the New York Stock ExchangeSM (NYSE), 82 more on the NASDAQ?, 5 members of investment houses on the American Stock ExchangeSM (AMEX), as well as at least one former US Congressman (now retired also) who now stays at home and runs a home-based online family business, among countless others.
This system has nothing to do with Google ?vouchers? or ?AdWords? credits.?
Also, it has nothing to do with adding any special magical ?code? or ?script? to your website that will bar Google and other search engines from being able to bill you.
Instead, Dr Jon's system is very unique to say the least, and allows for the elimination of advertisers having to suffer the burden of costs of their Google and otherwise paid-for search engine advertising expenses!
It can even create many additional streams of income flooding money directly into your pocket very quickly!
Above all, it's unlike anything you've ever seen!...

Dear Friend,
I hope you hate spending money on all your Google? pay-per-click advertising, because if you do you're in luck!
Finally, after many years of getting ALL my PPCs at Google, Yahoo, MSN and literally 100's of other TOP Search Engines for FREE, I'm finally ready to let YOU in on ?MY? most closely-guarded secret!
The FACT is: I've been advertising on Google (the world's TOP search engine!) as well as on Yahoo, MSN and literally 100's of others WITHOUT spending any money!
>> I've literally enjoyed over $12 million a
year in Google advertising alone (but all
absolutely FREE!)
And BEST of all, I'm NOT lying (I really do get literally $millions$ in FREE advertising each & every year at ALL the TOP Search Engines!)
And *MY* secret has made me very, very, AMAZINGLY RICH!
But the ironic thing is: It wouldn't surprise me
if you've never even heard of me!
? and I don't really care either.
I'm not one of the more popular well-known Internet gurus who loves rubbing his name in your face over and over again! (I mean, who cares who they are, or who I am? -- We are all just people regardless of how well-known or rich we become, right?)
I have personally owned and operated 16 different Web-Businesses over the last 9 years (since the mid-1990's) and have sold EVERYTHING you can imagine!
Yes, I've even done the whole ?eBay? thing!
I've now built well over a dozen Internet-based firms that specialize in selling everything from women's cosmetics, men & women's clothing, electronic publishing (i.e., ebooks), hardcopy publishing (real ?tangible? books), special industrial machinery, building supplies, pet food & pet supplies/toys, children & adult games, DVDs/CDs, Subscriptions, all the way to Memberships Sites (with recurring billing!)
Plus a lot of other things too!
And in selling all these things with all these Web-businesses I've owned, I've NEVER paid for any advertising whatsoever!
>> I learned an amazing secret very early on
that allows me to advertise on TOP Search
Engines, but WITHOUT spending any money on
pay-per-clicks!
You see, the BEST part of having my secret in YOUR possession is this: You NEVER have to worry how expensive all your PPC-advertising is because quite simply, IT DOESN'T MATTER!
