$1 Stock Advice Ads from Dow Theory Forecasts

Key Takeaways

• Dow Theory Forecasts tested three different approaches for the headline of their ads. Duration (4/8 weeks) vs. amount (26 helps, advice on 650 stocks) vs. specific duration (now to certain date - more urgent). Although they tested these out quite equally, 4/8 weeks was most popular.
• The sequence of each ad is along the lines of: for $1, you receive our newsletter for this much time, these are the features of the subscription, you also get this & this, then they mention the money back guarantee.
• 8 Weeks & 2 months (longer periods) were popular headlines. What's great about these two headlines is that they both equate to the same time. A jam-packed 2-month trial is long enough to get used to the updates & get hooked in.
