3 ad angles to test first

Sample ads written for this guide. Replace the [brackets] with your own details, prices and dates.

1. Angle 1

   Lesson preview

   A sample lesson proves teaching quality.

   Sample headline

   Watch lesson 1 of [course]

   Sample primary text

   See how [course] teaches [skill], step by step. Watch the first lesson, then decide if the full course is for you.

2. Angle 2

   Clear syllabus

   Buyers compare what is covered before they pay.

   Sample headline

   [number] modules, from zero to [skill]

   Sample primary text

   Everything [course] covers, module by module, with exercises and feedback. Enrol at [price] or pay in [number] parts.

3. Angle 3

   Cohort deadline

   Cohorts start on a date, which naturally creates urgency.

   Sample headline

   Next cohort starts [date]

   Sample primary text

   Learn [skill] with a small group and weekly live sessions. Enrolment closes on [date].

Suggested starting setup

Objective: Traffic

Send people to the course page or the preview lesson. Use a lead form if you are building a webinar list first.

Start with all three angles in one ad set at a small daily budget for 5-7 days, then keep the angle that brings the most clicks to your page and make a fresh campaign around it.

Tip for online course creators: Do not promise jobs, income or certifications you cannot back up; platforms restrict these claims and they invite refund requests.

Mistakes to avoid

• ×Promising jobs, income or certifications you cannot back up.
• ×Hiding what the course covers until after the purchase.

Tunsource returns a campaign: 6 ads in 3 sizes (feed 1:1, feed 4:5 and story 9:16), each with a hook, headline, primary text, link description and button, plus a short vertical video ad script. You edit every word, then download the images and copy.

• ✓Copy in the language you choose, in the tone you describe
• ✓Photo Studio to clean up a phone photo of your real work or product
• ✓Website audit and competitor search to see what to fix and what others in your area say
