Images

You’ll need to find some suitable images. You can use Google or Bing and search for images using the keywords ‘entrepreneur’, ‘home business’, ‘freedom’, ‘luxury’ or similar terms.

Note that legally you should only use images which are available under the Creative Commons license, or which you have purchased.

Some popular websites to find images are:

Create Graphic

To create the image for the ad, I suggest this easy method.

1) open up a new document in your favourite word processing program (ie OpenOffice, Word, Google Docs)

2) Paste your image into the document

3) Add some text below the image, I suggest using the headline from your opt-in page.

Now the basic ad copy is created, we need to make it an image.

The fastest way to create the image is to use a free tool called Jing, available from Techsmith -> http://www.techsmith.com/jing.html

With Jing installed you can select and drag the area of your document containing the text and save the image. The border can then be added within Jing.

Here is an example my MTTB Product image:

Create The HTML For The Post

The next step is to create the HTML for the image, including the link, for posting in the ad.

1) Open this page in your web browser:

http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_img.asp

2) On the page, click the ‘Try it yourself’ button.

3) replace the text ‘smiley.gif’ with the link to the image you copied above.

4) remove the alt, height and width text

5) this should leave you with some text like

<img src=”http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h403/dav1d6/entrepreneur-500px.jpg”>

6) click the Submit Code button and you should see your image displayed on the right.
