Advertise Business for Free on Internet? Free Classifieds List.
Posted by Michael Hartzell on Tue, Nov 10, 2009
"How can I advertise business for free on Internet?" This question is so commonly asked. Before I offer you my list, here is a question for you.
A question which pops into my head is "what do you consider 'free'?"
Everything has a cost and it may not be cash out of pocket. Time is the biggest cost, of course. There is the cost of education (even being self-taught takes an investment of time).
Many forget that it takes PRACTICE to get to the level of "don't suck". The cost of trial & error, gaining skill, and making mistakes is part of the cycle, and not "Free".
So here is a list of "Free" Classifieds, websites to advertise business for free on the internet. By free, I mean... no cash out of pocket.
What can you do with this list? Recruit, to hire or contract either permanent or temporary help. Advertise classes, ebooks, books, or promote a holiday event. Sell old equipment or personal stuff. Basically this is a place to "Make Invitations" to connect with you for the purpose of exchanging one value for another.
Don't forget... first you must know the persona of the person who is interested in your products and services.

ah... yes. You can also buy stuff as well. If you are someone who likes to avoid retail and not a fan of eBay (I still love eBay) then these free classifieds can offer you options to shop til your heart's content.
Before you tackle the "free" advertising online, be prepared to set-up and open accounts. Each have different rules for html and photos. Each has there own set of buttons to push to get it done. Do not be dismayed. The first month is the hardest.
Hope you have it down on your calendar: X Hours each day to advertise on Free Classified ads. With a little practice, you will copy / paste and create ads in a snap.... then in a few months you will teach someone else how to do it so you tackle another marketing animal.
Have fun making invitations and don't let the new stuff boggle you.
Do you like my list? I'd like to hear either way.

P.S.
Took a snapshot of Google search ... showing various SEOQuake statistics / analytics on Firefox. Notice the the power of craigslist and kijiji.
