Tips & additional info

Ad effectiveness tips

1) Give value

Give before asking. Ariyh readers are here to grow and learn. Give them something of value (e.g. a report, tips, advice) and they will be more likely to engage with (and buy from) you.

2) Brand build

When possible, play the long game. Most readers don’t know you. Selling straight away is like asking a stranger “Hi, I’m XYZ - want to marry me?”. It doesn’t work like that.

Instead, appear regularly (e.g. every 2 weeks in Ariyh + other places your audience hangs out in) and retarget website visitors. When they’re ready, they’ll buy.
