Before you open up your account at a free ad site, you are going to want to make sure that you can post your contact information or another website in your listing without having to pay for it. This is key as most of these sites will charge you an upgrade fee for this privilege. If you cannot get it for fee, find another site as there are enough of them out there that will allow you to do just that.
Now if you do not have an operable website, you either need to get one of start some blogs up that you can use as your main hub of information. The ads will generally only allow you so many characters and you may not be able to fully describe your business or service on there so get a blog going.
