Making Free Classified Ads Work for You

By Alex Wu

Have you ever heard the old adage that nothing comes free? In most cases, that is absolutely true but not when it comes to free classified ads. Not only are they free, but you can do more than just post a personal. The options that are available to you today can put plenty of extra cash into your wallet at zero cost to you.

I know, I know, you will believe it when you see it. Well get ready to proclaim from the top of the highest mountain that you are a converter because I am about to show you how to make this unbelievable proposition work for you.

By now, unless you are living back in the early 1900's, you have probably figured out that I am not talking about the print media. We are speaking of sites that you can utilize on the internet. Are there enough sites out there that do this? How does over 12,000,000 sound to you. If you don't believe it, do a search and see how many hits you get. That is an 8 digit number folks!

Now you can choose to use these sites any way you like as most of them have various outlets but I am going to stick to selling things and job searching. These are two areas that will usually cost you some cash to make cash or to find a job but not anymore. Read on and find out how.

Are all of these sites legitimate and trustworthy? No, you would be a fool to think that they were but there are enough of them out there that you can trust that you can saturate the market with your listing and get positive results. The traffic that these sites produce will get you more exposure in a week than you would by running a print ad for a year.

Major social networks and marketplace sites all have loyal followings that will drive traffic to you on a national if not world wide level. This is not something that could be achieved easily or cheaply in print media.

Placing your ad or starting your own page is quite simple at each one of these sites. If you can blog, you can have your own listing on any of the social networking sites and if you can type and follow directions, you can get an ad up on Craig List. They key to the success of your ad however, will depend on your keywords. Like anything, you need to make sure your point is being made in the title of your page or listing. This will ensure the most exposure on search engines, especially the internal search engines that each of these sites feature.

The best feature of all of these is that they are totally free. Unlike using a print ad, you don't have to pay any up front costs. If you are selling something, you won't have to pay a listing fee or commission to the site upon sale like you would for an auction site. And if you are looking for a job, you don't have to pay a finders fee like you would a head hunting site. All the fee's are paid for by advertising that is featured on the site. How much better can it get?

Now it's time to go clean out that garage and make some extra cash. Go to one of these sites and list everything you have to get rid of and watch the cash start to roll in. If you are looking for a job, hit up the sites and do an internal search for the fields you are looking for and see opportunity after opportunity. How about that, you really can get something for nothing in this world!
