Let’s go through it step-by-step
So that you land on your feet instead of your pretty face when using AIDA
Step 1: ATTENTION
2015 Microsoft study showed that human attention span is now shorter than goldfish’s - 8 seconds vs. 9 seconds
(This study may be BS, but who cares)
Either way, your first & only goal is to get them to start reading
How will you do that?

(This study may be BS, but who cares)
Either way, your first & only goal is to get them to start reading
How will you do that?
You’ve got two lethal weapons to choose from:
- Your image
- Your headline
Get them both right and you’re golden
(even if your reader is a goldfish)
Let’s look at the examples
- Your image
- Your headline
Get them both right and you’re golden
(even if your reader is a goldfish)
Let’s look at the examples
What do we have here?
- Great image
Uses Christmas seasonality & a dope twist: “Santa using a lighter? Is Santa a smoker?” Imagination turned ON
- Great headline
A reader thinks about Santa, childhood memories kick in, attention GRASPED
- Great image

Step 2: INTEREST
“You had my attention. Now you have my interest”
Here you will prove to your readers that you’re not wasting their time
- Subheadline
- Image caption
These two will do the heavy lifting for you
“You had my attention. Now you have my interest”
Here you will prove to your readers that you’re not wasting their time
- Subheadline
- Image caption
These two will do the heavy lifting for you
Back to our example:
- Great subheadline
“If any Zippo ever fails to work, we’ll fix it for free”
- Great caption
“This is the original Zippo. Lighters like it were first given as Christmas gifts 31 years ago”
Both of these create a sense of VALUE
+Bold claims = more interest
- Great subheadline
“If any Zippo ever fails to work, we’ll fix it for free”
- Great caption
“This is the original Zippo. Lighters like it were first given as Christmas gifts 31 years ago”
Both of these create a sense of VALUE
+Bold claims = more interest
Step 3: DESIRE
Now is the time to make their fingers search for that American Express
Showcase your product:
- How beautiful it is
- How great it fits their character
- How classy it’s going to make them look

Step 4: ACTION
The final step is telling your readers EXACTLY how to buy your product
CTA has to be crystal clear & require 0 effort on their part
Otherwise, they will not make a purchase
… And that’s it
If you didn’t mess up the previous steps, this last one should be easy
