Most business owners overthink ads. They spend hours trying to craft the perfect words, only to end up with something too complicated—or too boring.
Here’s the truth: a great ad doesn’t take hours. With the right formula, you can write one in under 10 minutes that grabs attention, builds trust, and drives clicks.
Let’s break it down step by step.
⏱ Step 1: Start With the Hook (2 minutes)
Your opening line decides whether someone scrolls past or pays attention. Keep it short, bold, and emotional.
Examples:
“Roof leaking? Fix it before the rainy season.”
“Tired of wasting money on ads that don’t work?”
👉 Rule of thumb: Speak to a pain point or a dream outcome.
⏱ Step 2: Show the Value (3 minutes)
Next, answer: What do they get?
Examples:
“We offer free 30-min consultations—no obligation.”
“Get 20% off your first treatment today.”
👉 Rule of thumb: No fluff. Just the benefit.
⏱ Step 3: Remove the Risk (2 minutes)
People hesitate when they sense hidden costs or wasted time. Add a micro-guarantee.
Examples:
“No hidden fees.”
“Cancel anytime.”
“Pay only if you’re satisfied.”
👉 Rule of thumb: Friction down, trust up.
⏱ Step 4: Call Them to Action (2 minutes)
Don’t just hope they act—tell them exactly what to do.
Examples:
“Click ‘Learn More’ to book your free spot.”
“Send us a message today and let’s get started.”
👉 Rule of thumb: Be clear, not clever.
✅ Final Word
Writing ads doesn’t have to be hard—or take forever. With the 4-part system (Hook → Value → Risk Removal → CTA), you can craft a winning ad in under 10 minutes.
The secret isn’t creativity—it’s clarity.
