Writing A Personal Ad By: Cassandra Varanelli

A personal ad is basically a way to sell yourself within a limited number of characters. People post personal ads for several reasons. You could do it if you’re looking for friends, partners and even as a way to find the love of your life (http://classifieds.ozfreeonline.com/).

Here are some tips to help you write your personal ad:

1. Use clear, well-written descriptions. Good grammar is a sign of your communication skills. Before anything else, make sure you write your ad as clear as possible. You can use creative and colourful wording, but make sure your reader can still understand what you are trying to say.
2. Be creative. If you want your ad to jump out of the hundreds available in the most online classifieds, then you should mix in a bit of creativity. This may mean writing your ad in poem form, using movie titles or famous quotes to describe yourself.
3. Include your age range. Most personal ad readers want to stick within a specific age range. You could be straightforward and include your real age or you could give a range (ie mid-twenties).
4. Clue them in on who you are. A personal ad is not just a list of what you’re looking for in others. For people to be interested in contacting you, it would be ideal to let them know a bit about yourself as well. This would help the reader determine if you could be a possible match. Include details that set you apart from the crowd as well.
5. Be honest. This should be the best tip for you to follow when it comes to writing and responding to personal ads. An honest beginning would eliminate disappointment and hassles as the relationship progresses.
