May dear friends,
First, I want to thank you for your support an kindness. Literary Revelations‘ newest publication Full Moon Confessions is still #1 Top Release in the US and Japan after 4 days from its launch.
It’s a beautiful poetry book. Every verse is engraved into my soul. Thank you to those of you who bought the book. In case some of you still want to check it out please see below:
Anyways, the topic of today is ads. I created several ads by myself and last night I created one using AI. I would like to know which one you prefer.
- The fist is done by me with no AI
- The second is done by me using AI
So 1 or 2? Please let me know if you can. Thank you!
I prefer number 1 😊
Thank you so much. Deeply grateful for your answer.
I prefer the first one because the second one reminded me of the advertisements of the German automobile industry 🙂
Haha! That’s so good Cristian. Thank you so much.
I much prefer the first ad – #1. It captures the emotions being explored in the poems
Margot, my dear, I am deeply grateful for your reply and support.
Both are good but not for the same audience…
I agree Ian. But I cannot figure out which audience will like which.
the first seems more mystical and spiritual, and the second seems more for the everyday enjoyment of poetry in your life. both are good, I guess it would be based on what kind of audience you are trying to reach. well done
Thank you so much dearest Beth. Ian send below or above that it depends on the audience. you shed more light to my question “what kind of audience?” Enjoy the rest of your day hon.
I would go with number 1 🙂
Thank you so much dearest Ana. I cherish your answer. Enjoy the rest of your day. xoxo
Have a wonderful day too, dear Gabriela ❤️
Thank you Ana.
the first one
Thank you so much. I am glad you liked the first 1 🙏
No. 1 is no. 1. It has a hint of magic just like poetry does.
Oh, sweetheart. I am so glad you are here. Thank you for your kind words. Sending love.
You are so welcome, Gab. Been away from WP for sometime and as soon as I logged in your post popped in my reader. ❤️
Much love to you too.
I just looed up and saw you wrote your last post at the end of August. I hope you are well hon. I think about you very often. Lots of love to you. Take care.
xoxo
I am well, thank you. Will be posting shortly. Hopefully from October will be back to posting regularly. I too miss your writing.
I am glad to hear you are well hon. Love to you and I cannot wait for October.
xoxo
❤️❤️❤️

Hi Gabriela. The first one is infinitely better. The 2nd, AI, one has too many visuals popping up. It’s confusing and stops the reader from reading.
Keep the first one. Two suggestions,
The text on :17 could be shorter, or end up with a smaller font.
The James Dean look-alike is cute, for a female audience, but is not necessary. Unless you have a specific goal for him. You could put a short poem there, maybe? A “quatrain?”
(I was in advertising – Ogilvy & Mather – and advertising research for many years… 😉)
Be good
Brian
Dear Brian, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your advice. I hope what you shared will benefit everyone.
Ok, I will use a smaller font and I can take the James Dean look-like out… no problem… another poem… I have to think about that.
Really, I have no words to thank you! Enjoy the rest of your day!
Thank you again from the bottom of my heart.
Dear Gabriela,
Most welcome. It’s interesting to ask readers their preference for two potential ads. What is called a “kitchen test” in the industry. And since I’ve tested hundreds and hundreds of ads, might as well use that experience.
Having said that, do take the other comments into consideration. I confess I hadn’t had time to read them. In a qualitative way, those comments are always valuable, because they’re your target…
All the best.
B.
Thank you so much Brian for you invaluable advice 🌹🙏🌹
I am no expert… but will go with no 1. Cheers
Thank you so much. I would like to run some ads for readers not necessarily for experts. Your opinion matters. Thank you for sharing!
Glad it help then. Best of luck in the project.
Thank you so much! Enjoy the rest of the day.
Definitely no 1 because it is the better by far. I don’t use AI (it’s other people’s work fed into the programme).
Thank you so much. What struck me the most was the contrast between the vulnerability of the human being (even, if one fights for perfection) versus the precision of the AI.
Indeed.
1 for me, Gabriela. 2 has merit, but it lacks emotion.
Thank you so much dear David. I appreciate your answer. Enjoy your evening 🌹
Yours is definately better 💖💖
Thank you so much hon. Perhaps I am a bit more likable than the AI 😊🌹🌹🌹
Of course you are !
You are human 💕🤗💕
Keep Shining !🌟🌟🌟
You are so sweet 😊😊😊 Keep shining too hon ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you ❤️🤗❤️🤗
My pleasure 🙏
#1. Poetry is meant to speak to the heart. The second one may appeal to the intellect for some, but I don’t feel it’s a good reflection of a sentimental poetry collection.
Thank you so much for sharing your opinion hon. I think so too but I am happy to listen to everyone and learn 💕❤️🌹
I choose number one, it has a mystical or ethereal quality to me. 😊
Thank you so much dear John. Beautiful words. Very grateful to you 🙏🌹
Hi, you are welcome, Gabriela. 🙏🏻😊❤️
🙏🌹🌹🌹
😊
I prefer #1.
Thank you Andrew 🙏
You’re welcome.
I think No. 1 captures the “feel” of the book better than No. 2. The AI voice is very jarring. It sounds like he’s selling business services.
Dear Liz, thank you for sharing your thoughts. You are so right about the voice. Thank you again 🙏🌹❤️
You’re welcome, Gabriela.
xoxoxo…
The second ad seems to be more for the genre than the particular collection. The first ad is closer to home, so to say. Good luck!
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and for the good wishes 🙏🌹
#1 is also my #1, Gabriele. Best of luck with whichever you choose.
Thank you so much dear Gerald. Wishing you the best too 🌹
Option 2 seems less frenetic to me. Go with your preference.
Thank you so much for sharing your opinion. Hugs 🤗
You are very welcome.
Thank you again for sharing your opinion.
I will always prefer human creativity over AI, so this is an easy choice: the first ad is my preference. AI tends to be soulless and has an artificiality to it that just seems uncomfortable. Perhaps I’m just old-fashioned or a purist, but I prefer the human touch. 😊
Hi Mike, thank you for sharing your thoughts. I feel the same. I was just wondering if it’s only me. You validated my opinion dear friend 🙏🌻
#1. I hate those digitised voices, they sound so unnatural.
You make a great point Clive!
I’m actually more partial to Ad# 2. I think, though, if the voiceover could be changed, it would be much better. But it’s informative and engaging, and it gives a potential buyer an actual breakdown of what to expect.
Dearest Tre, thank you so much for being here and sharing your thoughts. The voice makes it bad. I tried various voices and this one seemed to me the best. Yes, AI still have a problems with voices 🙏🌹
You’re most welcome. AI is only as good as it can be. Unfortunately, it’s not human; we are so versatile and can shine in various modes. We can’t yet say that for most AI programs.
Indeed hon!
I like number one! Lovely art and reading <3
Thank you for sharing sweet Jean ❤️🌹
1st one for sure. 2nd one seems too much like it’s coming out of a sterile production room — like a template they use for multiple clients. In the first one, you can feel a connection to the hand and voice of the specific artist. #1 for authenticity! 😊
Thank you so much dear Gary for your thoughts. Noted! Have a beautiful evening.
I prefer #1, although as noted in other comments, #2 might be better with a different voiceover.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your opinion. Hugs 🤗
I like Ad #2.
Thank you so much Tim for letting me know. I hope everything is well home. Sending hugs ❤️
1
Thank you hon 🌹
Sorry. I cannot chose.
I think they are both exhalent.
Thank you so much for letting me know 🙏🌹🍂
Having viewed them both a few times, and read through all the comments, I’m erring towards no.2, at least in style, as a general sales pitch to those unfamiliar with you and your work – I’m ok with the voice in no.2, and you know me, I go for its businesslike simplicity. Now, as I do know you, I’m obviously in tune with your artistry in no.1 – though I do agree with an earlier comment that I couldn’t see the relevance of the image of the man? Again, as mentioned by others, it’s about your target audience – no.1 is more for those who know you – no.2 I’d say is for a wider view. All the best. Eric.
Thank you so much Eric! Have a beautiful weekend and sorry for my late reply!
I like the first one best.
🙏🌹
Try both and you’ll find out very quickly…
That’s one way Ian. But the opinion of the people I follow is impotent to me too ☘️
I guess I’m going against the grain, or maybe I’m just being pedestrian/old fashioned, but I like #2 by a long shot! Got a much better sense as to what the book is all about.
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts dearest Mary. I do think you have a good point. Sending a big hug 🤗
I prefer #1; the second one feels very busy and cluttered while the 1st one maintains the magic of poetry.
Thank you dearest Layla. I hope everything is well with you 🤗🌹
