Post Free Ads and Get Results

By Alex Wu

Now you can go on the Internet and post your ads for free. You cannot beat free, especially when it comes to advertising an item for sale, or a job that needs filled, or an item that is needed. No fees to pay; and that is good for everyone's budget. It is believed that about 90% of people that have the Internet will look online for their needs first.

There are benefits to using this type of advertising. One is that it is free, how many things can you say that about? The other is that if you are selling something you can list it and it can be seen in all states and in some cases globally.

People that are giving away things should not have to pay for ads anyways. One person's trash is another person's treasure as the saying goes. The person that needs or wants items can post how much they are willing to pay, and if someone has that item, they already know how much you will give them for it. This is an easy way to match people with items to people that want or need them. This is a great service that many people use.

For employment this gives the company away to reach a large market of qualified job seekers. There may be someone that will be moving to your area that is looking for a job. For those of you looking for work you just send in your resume, and you can look for jobs that are local or farther away depending on your situation.

On places like E-bay you pay to sell your items, on the free websites there is no fee, no bidding, just set a price and wait for the e-mails or phone calls. That is easy to do, and many more people will see the ad, than would in your local paper. If you have items that you are looking for, you can post a free ad and someone may just have it for free or a minimal cost.

When posting ads for items for free or for sale it is advisable to sign up for a free e-mail address to advertise rather than your main e-mail. You should keep the two separate. It is not advisable to advertise your main e-mail or phone number in your ad.

Some of the websites offer free posting with a certain amount of posts aloud, while others offer unlimited free posts. You can post on several free sites at the same time if you want to, as there are several popular ones that people search on. You are sure to find someone that wants what you have. This is the way of the future as it is the way of today.

When you post ads for items wanted or for sale, you should open up a separate free e-mail account just for this purpose so that your main e-mail account does not get bogged down with e-mails and spam, as this can be frustrating. I would not advertise my main e-mail. Get a hotmail or g-mail account for this. This is a good service for everyone. - 15634
