Words that sell. As with any strategy take the time to create a great classified. Don't just blurt out the first thing that comes to your mind and plop it in the paid spot. Money is money and although classifieds are often a great deal financially, it won't be if it doesn't work. Sit down and plan out ten classified ads playing with words as you would a Scrabble game. Be a psychologist and play word association with a thesaurus. Write down a series of words that you might use in an ad, words that tell a little about your opportunity. Then look up the words in your thesaurus to determine all the different ways you can say the same thing. Then pick the words and phrases that most captivate you.

Test your ad. Even with all this planning some ads will work better than others. So test your ten ads, keeping track of where you place them and how well they work. Keep in mind that where you place the ad is as important as the ad itself. Once you have five or six winning ads, do the obvious. Use them! However, keep in mind that just as the same ad location will eventually run dry so will your ad. Plan to replace your array of classified ads every six months. That's all you need to get yourself on the fast track. So now that you have the gasoline, put it in the tank and go, go, go!
