You probably know that the local paper does not offer free classifieds. The Internet does. There are many free classified advertisement web pages on the Internet. You can post most anything there that will help sell your product or service.
You wonder why they are free. Well they have many "link ads" on their web pages and the more ads they have, the more pages they have to place those ads on. They are often paid on a per click basis. They also offer upgrades like you can post a picture with your ad for a fee, or get a premium membership and pay no fee for the extra feature.
Imagine how many people are online at any given time of day; now imagine how many of them are looking for things to buy online. This could be your buyer in that bunch. Take the time to find the right classified website for your needs. Do a web search to find the ones listed in the top results. These are where you want to place your classified ads. More exposure means better chance of a sale and even a faster sale.
When you decide to place a classified ad on the Internet, do your homework and find out which ones rank highest on the search engines. You can use Google Analytics for this, or just do web searches as if you were looking for something on the Internet classifieds. Once you get the results make a note of the top three results as these will be your most looked at classified ad websites. You should advertise on more than one.
Once you know what you want to sell and where you will place the ad, make sure that you have a good, clear, and brief ad describes your item or service and set your price and method of payment accepted. Place a contact e-mail address not a phone number. You do not want your number all over the Internet.
When you choose a payment method make sure that you do not send any item without receiving payment first. PayPal and Money Orders are both good ways to accept payment. If you decide to accept checks, make it clear that the item will not ship until the check clears. You have to protect yourself from the Internet scammers.
When you decide on a website to sell on, check to see if they have a forum or message board there. Read them to see how well the ads on this website work. Get involved and ask questions as well. The better informed you are will make you a better seller.
When you decide which free classified website to use, make sure that you read the terms of service for any fees that may not have been mentioned before, look for restrictions on the type of content they allow, and also how long you can expect your ad to run. Generally 7-10 days, some instances they can run up to 30 days. Do a bit of research, and you will find the place that is right for you. - 16890
