7 Ad Copy Secrets to Selling Courses Online

Ready to take your Facebook ad campaigns to the next level? 

You might be writing great ad copy, but are you writing copy that CONVERTS? 

 

Today, I’ll share my top secrets to writing irresistible ad copy that drives conversions for course creators and membership site owners

 

Here’s the deal. Writing ad copy that converts is about tapping into your audience’s deepest desires and fears.  I’ll show you how to craft ad copy that grabs attention, speaks to your audience’s pain points, and inspires action.

 

Step 1: Focus on the BENEFITS. Your audience doesn’t care about your product or service, they care about what it can do for them. Identify the main benefits of what you’re offering and use them to craft your ad copy.

 

Step 2: Nail your UNIQUE SELLING PROPOSITION. What sets you apart from the competition? Why should someone choose YOUR course, membership or lead magnet? Highlight what makes you different and emphasize it in your ad copy.

 

Step 3: Use EMOTIONAL TRIGGERS to grab attention. Fear, scarcity, urgency, and curiosity are all effective triggers. Use them to write copy that will resonate with your audience and inspire action.

 

Step 4: Write in a CONVERSATIONAL TONE. Your audience is more likely to engage with copy that sounds like it’s coming from a friend, not a marketer. Use “you” and “I” instead of “we” and “our” to make your copy more personal.

 

Step 5: Keep it SIMPLE. Avoid using technical jargon or complicated language. Your audience should be able to understand your ad copy without having to think too hard.

 

Step 6: TEST, TEST, TEST. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution to writing ad copy that converts. The best way to find what works for your audience is to test different variations of your copy.

 

BONUS TIP: Use SOCIAL PROOF to build trust. Share testimonials or statistics that prove the effectiveness of your product or service.

 

ANOTHER BONUS TIP: Don’t forget the CALL TO ACTION. Make it clear what you want your audience to do next. Whether it’s to sign up for your lead magnet, launch, or program, include a clear CTA in your ad copy.

 

Writing ad copy that converts is all about tapping into your audience’s desires and fears, focusing on benefits, nailing your unique selling proposition, using emotional triggers, writing in a conversational tone, keeping it simple, testing, and using social proof and a clear call to action.

U – Uplevel Ads 

Simple ads work too….

Here is a very simple retargeting ad from Tracey Harris.

3 Elements To Inspire Your Ad Campaigns:

  • We do all the hard work to drive people to our launch opt-in pages with ads, but sometimes we need to remember the easy stuff. Based on the video script, “You were checking out registering for my Instagram mastery masterclass…” this is clearly a retargeting ad. Every launch should have a campaign that retargets people who visit the opt-in page but don’t register.
  • With a solid primary promise, you don’t need a complex explanation – 3 proven secrets for turning Instagram followers into paying customers.
  • [FREE] converts well. If you are offering a lead magnet, webinar, or launch workshop, always include at least one headline option with [FREE]. I’d bet good money it will outperform other similar headlines without it.

N – Now Launching

Today we’re diving into a launch by Tracey Harris for her Social Method Society.

The Social Method Society membership is AUD $70 (USD $45) per month with an annual payment option of AUD $700 (USD $456).

Tracey is using a 3 webinar launch strategy

This will see her repeat the same live webinar on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.

This can result in a very long open and complex open cart period.

A more common option is to run the 3 webinars over 2 consecutive days.

This compresses your open cart period and keeps your email strategy simple.

Tracey is using the Demio platform to deliver her webinars which gets a big thumbs up from us.

Here is a link to Tracey’s offer page:

3 Elements To Inspire Your Ad Campaigns:

  • I love the headline structure – Why you are struggling to do {TASK} and {DESIRABLE OUTCOME}, and what to do instead. The copy and structure of the opt-in page are heavily influenced by Russel Brunson. 
  • “3 Secrets” is directly from Russel’s Perfect Webinar playbook, and the mechanism works. The number 3 is magic in marketing. It is the number of points we can hold in our heads and remember. 3 seems manageable and definitive, but there is enough “value”. It also gives the person opting in confidence that even if they are doing one or two of the points, there is still value in attending.
  • Nice use of the “Minus the overwhelm, anxiety, fear and wasted time” We normally see this as part of the headline formula “Get {Primary Desire} Without {Primary Frustration}. It’s a nice addition here as a stand-alone line.

Want to grow your online business… 

…but you’re tired of wasting money on Facebook ads

Here are 3 beginner mistakes you MUST avoid to succeed. 

 

Do you struggle to attract leads and make sales with Facebook ads? Don’t worry, you’re not alone! Many beginners make the same mistakes that cost them time and money. But fear not! I’m here to share the top solutions so you can kickstart your online business growth today!

 

Mistake 1: Forget what you’ve heard about targeting! Today’s Facebook ad strategy is all about broad targeting. Give Facebook’s AI a larger pool of people to pick from, and you’ll get better results.

 

Mistake 2: Experiment with multiple ad variations! Don’t limit yourself to just one ad when launching a campaign. Instead, create 3-4 ad variations for each Ad set. I like 2 copy variations and 2 image variations to start with 

 

Mistake 3: Choose the right ad objective! For lead generation, use the conversion objective to drive high-quality leads to your opt-in pages. Avoid using the traffic objective, which will drive low-quality traffic that doesn’t convert.

 

Now you know the top mistakes to avoid when getting started with Facebook ads. But guess what more knowledge won’t build your business. It’s time to take action and kickstart your online business growth today!

  • 3 Elements To Inspire Your Ad Campaigns:

    • A headline doesn’t get much clearer than this – Convert More Followers into Paying Customers and Build Your Business on Instagram® (All In Just 5 Minutes a Day!). It’s specific, it promises you’ll make more money, it speaks to a desired outcome, and it promises you’ll get all that in 5 minutes. How simple and beautiful.
    • Countdown timers create urgency. Everyone who lands on the page gets 10 minutes. Nothing happens after the countdown timer expires. 95% of people will never question it but will feel the pressure of the ticking clock. Makes sure all your promotions have deadlines that drive urgency.
    • A $7 dollar 14-day trial fits this offer well. Everyone will get a live call which if they attend I’m sure they will keep their membership. $47 per month is under the purchase and forget about the threshold. Many people will keep memberships like this on hand as an insurance policy just in case they need it in the future. I am not a big fan of free trials as it attracts tire kickers but tripwire-level flash sales are a good idea to test.

3 Elements To Inspire Your Ad Campaigns:

  • A strong opening hook is vital. The job of the hook is to capture your attention. If you are interested in Instagram, discovering the secrets of the big influencers will immediately reel you in. There are many types of hooks: pattern interrupts, questions, problem solution, curiosity, controversy, fun/clever, story, and value. Experiment with them all and see what works best for you.
  • After the hook, Chalene answers two big objections – I don’t have time, and the Instagram algorithm changes all the time. Your audience has objections. It may seem counterintuitive but if you don’t tackle their objections openly they won’t take action. The trick is to turn their objections into the reason why they must do what you are asking. In this case – the algorithm is always changing – That’s why we give 1 hour LIVE training every other week.
  • Clever use of the video cover screen. The video is entertaining and has lots going on to keep your attention. The most interesting thing about the video is how they position the frame with the social proof. This frame plays 85% through the video but they have also positioned this as the cover screen which means that’s the still image people will see.
