Five Good Reasons For Using Free Ads Sites

By: John Donaldson

You've something to sell, like a car, a house, a computer, a holiday, a rock concert ticket. You want to sell it fast, too, real fast, because you need the money. Advertising the item in the 'For Sale' section of your local weekly newspaper is the obvious thing to do.

You bought the local newspaper a couple of days previously, like you always do, but where is it now? You thought you'd thrown it underneath the stack of magazines and papers on the table in the corner of the room. No, not there. You search some more but the it's nowhere to be found.

What to do now? The Yellow Pages - of course! Obvious. Thumb through it until you find the section 'Newspapers and Periodicals' and then carefully go through the list. There's the number. Grab a pen, note down the number and dial.

A couple of rings later and a friendly female voice asks you politely what department. You reply, "Give me the advertising department, please." Just about there now. You can almost smell the cash. Patience. A few seconds later, another equally friendly voice asks how she can be of help, too. What a friendly bunch. You explain you want to put an ad in for this week, in the 'For Sale' section.

"You want to put an ad in the 'For Sale' section in next week's paper.", she insists. Maybe she hasn't heard me correctly. "No, in this week's edition.", I repeat. "Sorry, can't do that. If only you'd called us 30 minutes ago. It's the advertising deadline, you've just missed it for this week. It's always midday on a Tuesday, no exceptions. Do you want to advertise in next week's paper?"

The matter-of-fact explanation means I won't now have the cash as anticipated. Keep calm. Don't get uptight. Just think about it for a second. The paper comes out in three days time, at the end of the week, but I should have telephoned half an hour ago. This IS Tuesday, not Wednesday, or Thursday. I'm missing something here, right? What's the matter, you people got a problem with a little bit of give-and-take? Local newspapers, you can keep them. Time to think some more.

Then it hits me. Of course, the Internet! Is this not the age of web sites, email, instant communication and all the rest! No worries now. How many classified ad sites have you seen while surfing the web? Who knows. But maybe now is the time to look at them, not ignore them.

Load up Google in the browser, enter 'classified ads' and hey presto, there's a ton of classified ads sites out there to choose from. Spoilt for choice, indeed.

Right, the scenario above may be little more than a story but it does underline a serious point. In fact, it illustrates one of many good reasons why you should consider using freeads sites. You guessed it - instant advertising.

And here's another good reason. Cost. It usually won't cost you anything to sign up with a freeads site. And it won't cost a penny to post your ad either. Post as many freeads as you want, too. Saves a boat-load of cash!

Another reason to use classified ad sites is the number available. There are hundreds to choose from, if not thousands. Sign up for one, or 10 or 50, if you have the time, that is. The sign-up process is usually straightforward, and fast, perhaps only requiring a valid email address.

Going back to our scenario above, local newspapers typically have a circulation of a few thousand readers, all living within a few miles of where you are. Not so with a classified ads web site, which is the fourth good reason for using them. For they have reach. Your ad will be seen across the world, literally. So you are almost guaranteed to find a buyer for the item you are looking to sell.

If a picture is better than a thousand words, we come to the fifth good reason for using freeads sites - the ability to add a picture of the item you are looking to sell. Most classified ads sites allow you to upload at least one picture to go along with your ad, at no cost, a service which your local newspaper is unlikely to offer.
