Make Them Work For You

 Classified ads are still a very popular and powerful form of small-business advertising. Many people browse through them daily to see if anything catches their eye. They are a low-cost, simple and effective way of reaching a large target audience. If you are going to use this form of advertising though, you must make every word count.

Make Them Work For You

Your headline must grab the reader's attention at once. Often it can be in the form of a question, such as: Would you like to earn $70K a year, working part-time from home? An effective type of question is something like this: Who else wants to become financially independent and quit their job? Strangely enough, a negative headline can be very effective: Don't sign up to Network Marketing! Read our free report first!

Whatever you do, involve the reader. They don't want to know about what you are doing, they want you to tell them what they can do.

Secondly, you should make your product or service sound as useful or interesting as you possibly can in the small space available. But you should take care never to say anything that is either not true or exaggerated. It is important to retain your credibility if the reader is to become your customer in the future.

Words like "free" are excellent for grabbing the attention, and if you are making some kind of free offer, you will be more likely to get readers following up your ad. Highlighted or capitalized words are effective, but only if used sparingly. Too many of them will more likely put the reader off. It must also be remembered that many platforms for classified ads prohibit the over-use of capitals and exclamation marks.

Use a spell checker, but remember that spell checkers do not pick up all mistakes, so check it carefully yourself as well. A badly spelled ad makes you look sloppy and inefficient, which is certainly not what you are trying to convey.

Finally, make sure that your ad communicates with the reader and makes it clear what benefits they can gain from taking up your ad. Also make it easy for them to contact you or to access your products and services. If you follow these steps, then your ad will have done its job.

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...
