Secret 1. Calculate Your Cost-Per-Click Well Calculating smartly how much you should be paying for every click is
essential for your campaigns. If you pay too much, your campaign will straight-out not make business sense and you will lose money and if you
pay too little you will be missing out on opportunities.
How much money does your business afford to pay for every generated sale? How many clicks do you need to be able to generate that one sale?
Therefore how much should you pay for every click?
Here's how to do it: If you afford to pay €10 for every sale and you know that your website converts 1 visitor into a customer out of every 100
visitors, then you cannot pay more than 0.10c for every click or else your campaign will not be profitable. Of course you can always either get
professional help to increase your website's conversion rate so that you would not need 100 clicks to make a sale or find a way to afford to pay
more for every sale but that is beyond the scope of this article.

Secret 2. Use Call to Actions
An effective sales campaign should generate action which in result lead to sales. It is a well-
known, proven fact that people take much more action when they are specifically asked (or told)
to take an action then when they have to assume or think of taking action themselves.
If your advert instructs your audience to take action in a clear way, rather than simply saying
what you are selling, you will have more interaction from your audience and therefore
more results.

Some Call to Actions are: "Watch a Demo" or "Check Out The New Collection Today" to "Book Your Seat Now" or "Buy Now!“

Secret 3. Encourage Urgency
When you create a sense of urgency, people take even more action. This is due to the psychological need of not missing out on
something that could be good for you. Without urgency, people will generally
procrastinate and decide to take the action tomorrow, or next week (psychologically
again, due to the fact that most people delay making decisions out of fear of making a bad
decision).

To create a sense of urgency you can use terms like "Limited Time Offer" or "Last few items available". You can even be
more subtle and use terms such as "Until Stock Lasts" or "Snatch a Copy now" which slightly hints (using a term like
'snatch) that if you are not fast enough you will lose the opportunity.

Secret 4. Create Curiosity
A good advert should catch the audience's attention and generate an interest by showing them something
they want to know more about. By sparking curiosity in your audience, you will definitely get more traffic to your website and
therefore, assuming it is a good website (and you have a good product and price obviously), more sales. Generating curiosity is a bit of an art in itself and can sometimes be a bit tricky. You can always get a good
content writer to help you along. P.S. Make sure that the curiosity created is within your
target audience, not in general.

Secret 5. Write Catchy Headings
The heading is the first (or one of the first) thing your audience will see and its job is to get the
attention towards the rest of the advert.
The title should explain what the advert is about while making people want to know more, and
therefore, read the rest of the advert.
This is like a series of steps, always adding to the curiosity and interest of the audience until they
reach your website where you have your offer laid out effectively, ready to make another sale.

6. Selling Benefits, Not Features
Any good sales approach focuses on the benefits that the customer will get from the product or service and
not on the features (only) of the item. If people want to buy a hammer, it is probably not
because they particularly love and want hammers for the sake of having a hammer but because they want
to be able to get on with their DIY projects. It is the benefit of being able to work with nails easily and effectively whenever they want to, for as long as
possible that gets them to buy that hammer. Therefore, it is important to create the advert in
terms of how your audience thinks.
