Free Classified Ads a New Resource for the Future

By Alex Wu

So you have a few things to sell, and you are thinking about putting them in your local paper. There are free classified ad websites that you can place your items on and sell them. You can even reach a larger amount of people. If you have something you want to give away just to get out of your home or yard, place a free ad.

Internet free classified websites are a booming business. They make money off of the ads that are placed by other business on their web pages. Anytime someone clicks on them, they earn money per click. So be nice and check out the sponsors on their websites to keep them in business for you. If you work at home this platform is great for you to advertise your services.

This is particularly great for web designers, writers, data entry workers, graphic artists, photographers, and many other types of work. You can apply to jobs, or put your service out there. Resumes can be sent online, interviews can be done by voice chat, video chat, or phone. This is a very good resource for both employees and employers.

As an employer you can save money by using the free classified ads and get more potential employees applying for the job, even someone who is not in your state, but may be moving there. Resumes can be sent over the Internet and interviews can be conducted on an instant messenger, an audio or video service, or by phone.

Better deals are often found online for items that you may be looking for. It is cheaper for the seller to sell on these websites than they would pay using E-bay. They also reach as wide an audience as E-bay. This is great for both buyers and sellers. Sellers be sure to make it clear that shipping is extra, and also include a good description of what you are selling, and a contact e-mail address. You should make a separate e-mail account just for this.

Free classified websites often offer premium services like posting a picture with your ad, or using bold or larger text. They make money in this way as well. You can place a free ad and then e-mail a picture to an interested party as well. You should set up an e-mail account just for use with your classified ads and no use your main e-mail account.

If you are posting a service, make sure you tell your experience, and why you offer a better service than others. Tell them why you are unique. This will help to grab the attention of someone looking for your service.

If you are an employer, be sure to put in the ad how much experience is needed, if a degree is needed, and if there are benefits offered and the range of pay that can be expected. This will help you to get the right kind of candidates applying for your jobs. It will also reach people outside the state that may be moving to your state that is highly qualified. Take advantage of the far reach of the Internet. - 15485
