If you would like to learn an almost fool proof way to get people anxiously and eagerly reading your ads, then this article will show you how.<\/p>\n

It’s really no mystery anymore that people hate being sold.<\/p>\n

We all love to buy, but none of us really likes to be sold.<\/p>\n

I mean, think about it. <\/p>\n

How many times do you see someone walking around bragging:<\/p>\n

“There was no way I was going to let that salesman sell me the cheap model. I demanded he sell me the expensive<\/u> one, that costs ten times as much!”<\/strong><\/p>\n

No, that doesn’t happen. <\/p>\n

At least not very often.<\/p>\n

And this is especially true in written sales pitches like in an email, on a website, or direct mail piece.<\/p>\n

Which is why if you want to increase readership of your ads… you should try to disguise<\/a><\/strong> the fact you are “selling” anything at all in the first part of your ad.<\/p>\n

There are a lot of ways to do this. <\/p>\n

But one of the best ways is to start out by giving away something free in your ad and saying it right in the beginning.<\/p>\n

For example, let’s say you sell health supplements for cats. <\/p>\n

You can start your ad by saying something like this:<\/p>\n

Free Book Reveals How To Extend Your Cat’s
\nLife By 5-10 Years<\/strong><\/center><\/p>\n

And then you start talking about how this free book will extend your cat’s life.<\/p>\n

Then, after you’ve gotten the reader’s complete interest, and his sales shields are down, you segue into how the book is free…but only if they get a free “trial” bottle of your cat health vitamins.<\/p>\n

Here’s a fictitious example of how this could be done:<\/p>\n

Free Book Reveals How To Extend Your Cat’s
\nLife By 5-10 Years<\/strong><\/center><\/p>\n

Dear Friend,<\/p>\n

My name is Bob Jones and I am a vet here in town. In the next few days I am, with your permission, going to send you a free book I have written called: “How To Extend Your Cat’s Life By 5-10 Years.”<\/p>\n

Did you know there is actually a way to add up to a decade of healthy and natural life to your beloved cat?<\/p>\n

It’s true.<\/p>\n

There’s no magic to it, either.<\/p>\n

You just need to add a certain herb (you can get at your local grocery store) to your cat’s food and you will extend his life and improve his health.<\/p>\n

And in this book I am sending you I reveal exactly what this herb is, where to get it and how to get it for less than five cents a day.<\/p>\n

However, there is one small catch.<\/p>\n

I will only send you this book if you also let me send you a free trial bottle of my patented cat health supplement…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

See how that works?<\/p>\n

Try it with your next promotion.<\/p>\n

Create a short report or small booklet and lead with giving it away in the beginning, segue into your actual pitch and then watch your response soar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
