A well-written marketing message will take care of most of the details of writing a highly effective ad. If you've done your job up until this point, your prospect has read your ad. If your ad does not finish the job and inspire your prospect to contact you for more information or visit your store or your web site, it is not worth the money you spent to have it published.

They are not looking for another business, they do not care about what you are promoting because they are only interested in promoting their own project. All you need to do is translate those customers into massive sales for your product or business. You see you will already have all the customers, because everyone needs advertising. Put two and two together, once you begin to market advertising which everyone needs, you can then use that platform to advertise your market.
