Focus On Your Target Market
Make sure your text also resonates with your target audience. Make it relatable for them so that they are encouraged to follow through with your call to action.

Another great platform is Facebook,as it really helps you narrow down your target audience, making sales and downloads more likely.
Choose Your Ad Type
To make sure you get noticed, a carousel ad is always a creative choice for showcasing your ebook, as this will allow you to showcase your cover artwork, as well as snippets of the book to entice readers. Also, if your book is free to download, be sure to mention that in your ad.
