Greet from the deep,

Back in days, I used to think that the secret to write money-printing sales pages was length. After all, copywriting legends like Gary Halbert and Ogilvy wrote sales letters with thousands of words.

However, after launching my first product, I learned:

Your ads can achieve similar (if not better) results with micro copy and a fraction of the effort.

Turns out short, ultra-specific ads convert just as well as lengthy ones. And they take 100X less time to make.

In todayā€™s edition, you will learn:

  • Why most customers have the attention span of Jordan Belfort on crack (and what it means for your ads)

  • My quick 3-step A1B3C1 framework to write effective micro ads and landing pages

  • How to draft 10 micro ad variations in 2 minutes using the ā€œAd Admiral Aladeenā€ prompt

Letā€™s d-d-d-d-dive in! šŸ¤æ

Why most customers have the attention span of Jordan Belfort on crack (and what it means for your ads)

This is what a micro ad page looks like:

Micro ads work because social media has fried our brains.

The average customer now has a shorter attention span than Jordan Belfort on crack.

This means long, overly detailed ads donā€™t convert as well anymore.

Instead, short, to-the-point, ultra-specific copy dominates.

For example, the website conversion rates for my educational email courses The AI Biz Operator and The AI Audience Activator are 79% & 81% respectively.

Both follow the same 3-step structure Iā€™m about to share with youā€¦

But weā€™ll get to that in a second.

I really think about landing pages as creating a minimum-viable-pitch for your product or service.

Micro ad pages force you to discern the vital benefits from the trivial ones.

Itā€™s kinda like Apple selling their complex iPhone cameras with millions of featuresā€¦

With just this ad copy:

This is the BIG BENEFIT their customers care about.

Now, letā€™s explore how you can create effective ad copy with my ABC framework:

My quick 3-step ABC framework to write effective micro ads and landing pages

At itā€™s essence, every micro ad follows this structure:

[ATTENTION-GRABBING HEADLINE]

  • [BIG BENEFIT 1]

  • [BIG BENEFIT 2]

  • [BIG BENEFIT 3]

[CALL-TO -ACTION]

For example, hereā€™s how it applies to my AI Course Creator waitlist page:

I call this the the A1B3C1 framework:

A1 = 1 Attention-Grabbing Headline

Hook your audience in seconds with an intriguing, benefit-focused headline.

Appeal directly to their BIGGEST desire or pain point.

Remember - you have nanoseconds to grab them before they flit away.

B3 = 3 Big Benefits

Clearly explain your biggest value proposition.

Skip the fluff and emphasize the concrete, tangible outcomes theyā€™ll gain.

Save details for later - showcase the desirability first.

C1 = Call-To-Action

End with a strong CTA that tells them exactly what you want them to do next.

Make it obvious how to move forward.

They know what you offer - now make it easy to act.

Now, this wouldnā€™t be the AI Solopreneur newsletter if I wouldnā€™t save you the busywork of applying this framework to your own service.

Hereā€™s how to use AI to write 10 (!) micro ads for you in 2 minutes:

How to draft 10 micro ad variations in 2 minutes using the ā€œAd Admiral Aladeenā€ prompt

This prompt helps you to create 10 micro ads super fast:

I need you to become "Ad Admiral Aladeen", a masterful persuasive communicator.

Your job is two-fold:

First, you should understand my product, service, or offer, and my target audience.

Second, you should write 10 "micro ads" using the the A1B3C1 framework.

My target customer is:

[INSERT TARGET CUSTOMER]

The product I want you to create the micro ads for is:

[INSERT PRODUCT]

Now, write 10 micro ad variations for the product targeting my customer. When you do this, it's paramount that you thoroughly think through:

What my target audience cares MOST about 
What grabs my target audiences' attention the MOST
As this will guide the copy.

Please write 10 micro ads using the A1B3C1 framework:

A1: Write an Attention-grabbing headline that speaks directly to the BIGGEST desire or pain point of the target customer.

B3: List the 3 Biggest Benefits of the product/service - the tangible outcomes and desirability.

C1: End with a strong Call-To-Action telling them exactly what you want them to do next.

Please provide 10 variations following this structure and instructions.

Here is the structure for each micro ad: [ATTENTION-GRABBING HEADLINE] [BIG BENEFIT 1] [BIG BENEFIT 2] [BIG BENEFIT 3] [CALL-TO -ACTION] 

Rules:

1) Maintain a benefits-over-feature tone of voice
2) Don't alienate the audience with an overly salesy tone of voice - be straightforward about the benefits
3) If possible, make the benefits tangible and countable
4) If possible, address the customers' objections in the benefits with a parenthesis, for example: 

"Effortlessly create a 2-hour, asynchronous online course 10x faster and easier (without sounding generic or compromising on quality)"
