How to personalize a template

Strong ad copy makes one promise understandable quickly, supports that promise with truthful and appropriately qualified proof, matches the audience and funnel stage, and asks for a clear next action. It does not manufacture scarcity, testimonials, comparative claims, discounts, or performance results that cannot be verified.

  1. 1
    Choose the template closest to your actual purpose.
  2. 2
    Replace every bracketed field with specific information.
  3. 3
    Delete any sentence that does not belong in your situation.
  4. 4
    Read the result aloud for unnatural transitions or repeated phrasing.
  5. 5
    Verify names, dates, links, facts, and promises before sending or publishing.
