A Free Way To Promote Your Programs

There are a few simple CL guidelines that must be adhered to when posting a classified. There are also some ways to make your advertising more effective in this somewhat unique site. By following this advice you will get much better results.

To post a classified you will first need to register. You will first choose a city to register under. It does not necessarily need to be the city where you live although there are benefits for that in some cases. You can register with different email addresses under different cities but don't overdo it or CL may pull your ads.

If you are posting an ad for a product or service use the most specific category you can find. You may think posting under a category that is unrelated will bypass the competition. People that stumble upon your ad will not be impressed, however, and they will know what you are trying to do. They will not likely want to consider an ad from someone that is trying to be tricky.

If you are posting for a business opportunity you should enter the classified under "services offered" and then "sm biz ads". Some have tried other categories but the ads are usually removed so it is not worth the effort.

It is very effective to offer something free such as an e-book, a coupon, a video or something of value. It is usually better to encourage people to email you rather than providing a link to your website. If you are doing affiliate marketing it also works best not to include your affiliate link. Many people will just bypass the link or visit the site but never contact you. If they email you, however, you can correspond with them and have them on your list to contact again later.

Remember, you will be competing with dozens of "make money", "join me now", "get rich" types of ads. Being more generic and offering something of value will get more attention and prospects will want to learn more.

If you are posting multiple classifieds in the same or even different cities you need to vary the ad copy. The headlines and the body of the ad should not be similar to other ads you have posted or they will be blocked by CraigsList. Additionally, it is best to keep it to a maximum of one posting per day on this site.

Do not underestimate CraigsList just because it is free. More and more people search this site every day. It is a good way to test your ad copy and find out what is working before you pay to post something on another site. Having a regularly scheduled time to post ads on CraigsList will help you promote your programs and will increase your profits.

Using Classified Ads

Image
 Local ads are a great way for anyone to use in order to get rid of something, announce something that may be happening, or just promote a business or product. There are many options for a person to choose from. For those that are announcing an item that they have for sale, or perhaps they are announcing the fact that they are holding a yard sale, then the use of free classifieds is a great way to get the message across without having to spend money to do this. These free classifieds are usually found in the local paper and are going to be something that people are going to look through when they are reading the paper. This is also an option for those that have businesses and are trying to get more business, though they may find that a free classified is not going to work as well as the business classifieds that someone can purchase. The business classifieds are going to allow for the person to use the amount of space that they need, whether it be a block of space to announce a new...

Is There a Safety Issue With Free Online Classified Ads?

Image
 If you are old enough to remember life as an adult before the internet, you have observed the fast-moving whirlwind surrounding the age of technology. Not that long ago, classified advertising was only available in the now almost obsolete newspaper delivered to your door, rain or shine. It was not unusual to taste a little ink with your toast, as you enjoyed your breakfast. Well, free online classified ads have sure altered that picture. You probably get to eat that toast without the ink, sitting in front of your computer, checking out listings in one of many sites online; if you use your favorite search engine you will be amazed at how many places allow you to advertise, at no cost. One issue that seems to stop some from using free online classifieds is that of safety, from the viewpoint of placing ads or answering them. For some, probably inspired mostly by hyped-up news stories, the internet can be a very dangerous arena. Yes, things do happen with security and identity via the...
