42 deadly ad copy sins that ive made
I have read thousands of ad copies online and offline over my lifetime. I have read excellent ad copies that made me buy right away and some that may have had a decent product, but had a poor ad copy that turned me away.
Now that I am in business, I have written some of my own ad copies. Some of them have worked, some of them have bombed. The key is to keep changing and testing your ad copy, don't just write one and then stop. I don't have a college degree in copywriting, but I know to learn from the mistakes and never give up.
Below I've made a list of 42 deadly ad copy sins that I've made over the years and that you can learn from:
no compelling headline
no believable testimonials
no sub headlines
no attractive benefits
no features
no strong guarantees
no asking or answering questions
no proof of benefits offered
no contact information for questions
no endorsements
no conversational writing
too long of sentences
no deadline to order
no free trials
spelling mistakes
grammar mistakes
too light of text
too dark of background
ad copy doesn't blend together
no breaks in ad copy
no bullets

too large of paragraphs
no story telling
no underlining or bolding of keywords
too short of ad copy
too long of ad copy
no facts or case studies
hard to understand jargon
no free bonuses
too low of price
too high of price
Don't get me wrong, not all 42 of my ad copy sins will apply to each and every ad you write. It is just a list you can use in the future. If you currently have an ad copy, compare it to the list right now. Your ad copy could make or break your sales.
Good Luck with your online ad copies:)
