Free Classifieds and The Connections that They Make

By Alex Wu

There is a new way to place a classified ad, and it is on the Internet and it is free. You cannot beat free in today's world. If you want to make a little money by selling things that you no longer need or use, place a free classified ad. If you have some cute little puppies or kittens to give away or sell, post a free classified ad on the Internet.

If you have a service to offer the public such as house painting or landscaping you can advertise locally online for free and get jobs. If you are a web designer, photographer or writer or offer any others home based service, you can advertise in the free classifieds.

Maybe you are a freelance worker or self employed and you are looking for a job, place an ad in the free classifieds with the type of service you offer, the experience and qualifications that you have, and you just might find some work. These ads reach all over the United States so for some services like web page designers, graphic artists, and data entry professionals, you may get a job that is far from home. That is okay as long as you have a computer and a line of communication with the employer.

If you have a pet that needs a good home, whether for sale or for free, post it in the free classifieds. You are sure to find a good home. These websites offer a greater amount of exposure and studies have shown that 90% of people with online service search the Internet for a product or service that they are looking for. That means that the odds are good that someone will see your ad.

Free classified ad websites are becoming the big thing on the Internet. You can post most anything, and you can do it freely. You have no costs like on E-bay to sell and item. You can get special features if you want by paying an extra charge like placing a picture with your ad, or posting in bold print or other features.

If you plan to use the free classified websites then you should sign up for an e-mail account just to use for those ads. This will keep unwanted mail and spam out of your main account. You do not want to post your main e-mail account on the Internet for all to see. You can answer any incoming queries about your ads using the account set up for that purpose.

When placing your free classified ad be sure to be detailed in your descriptions of items. Put the condition of the item, the size of the item and any other pertinent information that a buyer might want to know. You should have an e-mail account set up just for your classified ads; it saves you from your main e-mail account being put on the Internet.

Employers make sure to post a job description, years of experience needed, and any other qualifications that the job requires. It is also a good idea to post the average salary being offered and if there are any benefits offered with the position. These ads tend to get looked at first by people seeking employment. This is the perfect way to connect to the people that you are looking for to fill that position at your company. - 15246
