How To Write A Successful Personal Ad
By http://www.easy-dates.com
No one would know how good you are if you would not let them
know about it. Whether you are promoting yourself for a job or
for a date, you have to advertise yourself well.
You have written your own personal ad. Unfortunately, no one
seems to be paying attention on your ad. You are a little
apprehensive that you do not possess the skills you need to
write a successful ad. You are thinking that perhaps it's not
really your writing that's making you less appealing but your
very own personality. You want to overhaul your ad but you are
considering others to write for you because you feel you can't
make an eye-catching ad.
Do not feel dampen about it. There's a lot in you than you can
think of. It's just a matter of assessing yourself. Discover
your full potentials. Examine your ad and check what's lacking
in there. You might only be missing some good points.
Want to write a successful personal ad to get you in your dream
job or a hot date? Why ask someone else to write for you when
you can hire yourself to be your advertiser!
Be your own brand manager. It's all right to ask your friends
how are you as a person. But remember, it is only you who knows
your true personality. It's just that sometimes, you do not pay
attention analyzing yourself and discovering your full
potentials.
Here are some helpful tips in writing successful personal ads.
1. Be honest Do not let others expect too much from you or
expect less of you. Write what is only true. Do not exaggerate
data. Bare your true personality. Don't under estimate yourself.
Show your best qualities if you must. You should not be ashamed
to flaunt it if you really have it.
2. Be different Create your own style. What makes an ad boring
is that it looks like the same as the others. If your readers
see that it's same as the others, they might even think that you
just copy your own. Be unique. Make an exclusive claim of your
ad. Avoid being stereotyped. This will make your individuality a
lot visible. And this will set you among the rest. Avoid
creating an impression that you are plain and boring.
3. Learn from reading others Examine other works. Read them
carefully and take note of their good points in writing. Search
for the best successful personal ads and make them your guide in
developing your own style. Determine the styles they use to make
their ad very interesting.
4. Start with a good lead Your first sentence should make the
readers read the succeeding sentences. This means that your
first line should immediately catch reader's attention. Make a
sweeping statement about yourself. Summarize in one sentence how
interesting you are before you go through the meat of it. If you
introduce yourself like, "Hi, I'm Peter Scott, 24.", chances are
they'll just close their window and move on to the next ad. Your
lead must build up interest and give an exciting preview of what
they would expect when they read the entire ad.
5. Go to the meat of you ad thoroughly Don't restrict yourself
from going through the details of your admirable features. Go
into the meat of your abilities, skills and assets. Specify what
you want out of this ad. Check closely if you have put all the
necessary description of your personality. Do not enumerate
boringly. Insert a lot of positive adjectives to enhance the
list of your qualities. It will benefit you a lot if you can
make your readers understand how these qualities can be of best
benefit to them. Be consistent on hyping them with your ad.
6. End with a great impact Once you have established yourself
well enough from the lead and the meat of your end, make sure
that you leave a lasting impact to your readers. Your ending
paragraph should encourage urgent response. Make your readers
feel that you are one of the most sought after people. That if
they take time considering you they might end up losing you.
7. Play up your best assets. In the meat of your article, follow
an inverted pyramid style. Start with your most important and
admirable assets going through the least of them in the end. If
you impress them with your finest qualities, they will take
little notice of your weaknesses. Impress them first hand. Play
up your expertise. Focus on them. Enhance these with striking
sentences to enhance your skills and other qualities.
8. Package yourself As I said, be your own brand manager. Brand
yourself based on your excellent skills and qualities. Create
your own identity and make it evident to your writing.
9. Stand out of the crowd Now, read the other ads. Compare yours
to them. Ask yourself, does your ad stands out among the rest?
Make sure that it does because once you stand out, it will be
easy for the readers to pick you as their choice. Shine among
the rest.
10. Write your finer points Transform your weaknesses into fine
points. Or better yet, make your weak points very subtle. Focus
more on your finer qualities. In fact, lure your readers to a
number of your fine points so that they may forget to ask about
your weaknesses.
Lastly, be your own judge. While it is good to consider other
people's perception on you, do not depend entirely on them. Be
objective. If you think that their judgment is baseless, do not
entertain them.
Create your own image and be creative as possible. Let your
readers get hook on your personal ad. Love your qualities and be
confident with what you are. Put your best foot forward. These
are the keys in writing a successful personal ad. Make a lasting
impression and you will reap the attention of thousand readers
out there. Yes, more than you can handle. So what are you
waiting for? Grab your pen and write your way to success!
