The Internet is the new place for placing free classifieds. The local paper does not let you run ads for free. They are good for local sales, like a car or some large piece of furniture or equipment. You can also advertise locally on the internet. If you have smaller items you can reach a larger audience. Classified ads target the people that are already interested in the product or item already that is why they are there.
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.
The secret to where the free classified sites make money is in the click ads that appear on the pages of their website. They get paid per click. They also charge for premium features such as adding a picture to your classified ad they do quite well with this.
These classified websites offer local advertisements, as well as state wide, and global exposure. This is great for those of you who have a vehicle or furniture, because local is who you would want to target, if you have small items to be mailed, than you can hit a larger market, just be sure to add shipping in the final cost and let the buyer know this.
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.
Do not give out a phone number to call, people will call you all hours of the day and night. Dive an e-mail address for contact. I would create a free e-mail account just for this purpose. This will save you much grief. Place in the ad what type of payments you will accept. PayPal is my favorite, but you can take money orders and checks. I would not release the item or service until the check clears. There are scammers who use the "I will send the money once I know you have sent he product". Do not fall for that.
When you place your ad make sure it is clear, short, and gives a good brief description of what you have to offer. Adding a picture can help in some cases. Make sure that you describe you item honestly and include any flaws if there are any. A good description can mean a sale.
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. - 16928
