Use images that include a face. People’s eyes are drawn to faces without even realizing it. You will grab attention right away.
2. Emotion
Appeal to the emotions of your prospects and customers. Emotion sells, facts do not.

You need people to respond so give them a reason to with a limited time offer, limited quantity offer or special offer for the first set number of people.
6. Words
The top words to use to drive response are: Free, You, Because, Instantly, New.
Once you design and write the copy for your ad, you then need to consider who to target. The better able you are to target the right people, the more response you will get from your ad. Your options include demographics, location, interests, and behaviors. Choose the ones that make the most sense for you.
Once you create your ad and select your audience, you will select your budget amount and the time frame you want it to run, and then post it. Facebook reviews all ads before they are published. Once approved and published you will be able to track your responses. Make sure to be monitoring for comments so that you can respond to them promptly. Are you ready to get started?
