Have you ever wanted a way to reach your perfect target audience? Do you have something to sell? Do you want only those who are 100% genuinely interested to come and look for your product? Then placing an advert in the free classifieds is the best option for you.
It used to be that if you wanted to sell something, you could go to a car boot sale, or try to sell it to your friends and family, but now, there are hundreds, or even thousands of online marketplaces available to you.
But which one to choose? A quick search of Google can reveal hundreds of potential websites. If you pick the wrong one, or one where your advert will not be seen by the right people, then all your effort could be in vain. Its really important to plan properly before you take action.
Are you selling things because you need the space at home? Do you need to de-clutter? You need to decide how it will be sold. Will you deliver it, can you post it? Do you want the buyer to come and collect it? Free classifieds are perfect for all these options. But did you know that you can also advertise your own websites or services? A lot of the websites these days have separate sections for you if you want to add your website link or if you want to advertise your own Indian Head massage service. It is probably a good idea to have a look at a few sites to see which one is the best for you.
In an online auction, you can only advertise your item once and then wait for the buyers to come and bid for it. You may not get the price you want, and you will have to wait until the auction closes in 5 or 7 days to sell your item. But not so with classifieds! You can advertise in many different venues at once and the buyers can contact you straight away. It is possible that you could make a sale on the same day as your advert appears!
Choose carefully. If your local paper has a classifieds section, then it may be possible that they have an online version. Or is there a website about your local area you could use? If you have a service or are doing website promotion, of course, then the possibilities are unlimited. Many internationally well-known websites such as eBay and Craigslist allow you to post free adverts. You get to reach your perfect target audience and what is more, it is completely free!
Many websites require that you register with them first. Most only want simple information such as an email address and contact details. Most people recommend that you set up a separate email address for this type of transaction away from your personal address. This email address can be easily used to register with as many different websites as you want.
Write a clear advert. Clear, concise descriptions are best to attract the buyers. Don't forget your contact details! You want to let people know where to bring the payments! - 16651
