Mastering the Art of Membership Launch Ads

3 Elements To Inspire Your Ad Campaigns:

• This is such a simple ad. Simple is beautiful. Simple is effective. The ad targets one pain point and one pain point only. Cashflow and business stability. This is always a top 3 problem for an entrepreneur. Something that keeps Stu’s perfect-fit client awake at night. So here is my question for you. What is a “top 3” problem that keeps your perfect-fit client awake at night that you can help them solve? The bigger and more painful the problem you can solve, the quicker people will flock to you for a solution.
• Hooks don’t always have to be crushing pain points or wild promises. Sometimes a simple pattern interrupt can do the trick. The simple “Hello there” is an interesting approach. Other ads published for the Membership Workshop open with “I’m Stu McLaren”… “What time is it???”…. “Patty started with a super simple idea.”. It will be interesting to see how these opening hooks fare over the duration of the campaign.  
• The image is what drew me to review this ad. I love the screenshot approach. Almost everyone can test this option in their campaigns – My To-Do List – Complete the thing on offer. For an event / date-based launch, it also gives you an opportunity to prominently include the date. Notice how the action is transformative. Don’t just say download the lead magnet or register for the workshop. Paint the transformation someone will achieve when they take the action you prescribe. Oh, and a sneak two-for here! Notice the “all caps” FREE X 2. Free sells…

3 Elements We’d Test:

• The URL in the body copy is formatted in bold and italics to draw attention to it, which is great. I would want to test if there was any uptake in the outbound click-through rate if this was entered as a live link. I always include at least one live link in the body of every conversion ad.
• The headline Stu, Stu, Who The Heck is Stu? While interesting will possibly only resonate with people who know Stu. Now this version of the ad could be to warm traffic. It wasn’t one of the ads which appeared in 15 ad sets. However, I would test this ad with a headline that was focused on the avoidance of pain or attainment of pleasure. In this case, something like – Looking for more stability in your business? [FREE TRAINING] Proven Path To Membership Success
• While the single line “hello there” is a pattern interrupt partially due to the empty space, I would test including more text directly after it. You only have 140 characters to convince people they should click on the “See more” and read the rest of your body copy. You want to make sure it packs a punch and gives them a reason to read on.
