Using Classified Advertising
Now, over the past couple of years, many online business people and internet marketers have enjoyed significant levels of success with various classified advertising sites (such as Craigslist, and USFreeads) by choosing the most highly trafficked sites from the many hundreds of similar sites available.
Indeed, on the back of these successes, many internet marketers have successfully promote their products and services using only free classified advertising, so there certainly seems to be at least some potential to generate business and associated revenues from classified ads.
Here we have Facebook’s Classified Ads that is available in the Facebook ‘Market Place’…
So, it would simply be a question of creating your short classified ad and sending readers from there to yourwebsite or blog where you would be promoting your products or services.
Now, of course it would be logical to place your advertising in the place where it is most likely to be seen, would clearly be the 'For Sale' section of the marketplace.
Nevertheless, despite the fact that this is the ‘For Sales’ section, you should not directly attempt to sell your product or service in your advert as this is extremely unlikely to be successful.
Do not forget that the primary objective of placing this advertising is to drive people to your website or blog where you will be able to do a 'proper' sales job. Always promote your website, splash page, squeeze page or blog! (Use OptimizePress) and for free flash website use Wix.com NO exceptions!
To take an example, therefore, imagine that you are promoting a dog related affiliate program. You would not try to promote this program directly from your classified ad.
What you would do, however, is send people from your classified advertising to your website by offering them a free dog related gift that they can only collect by visiting your site. If, for example, you have a free dog training e-book or special report, then this would be an ideal free gift to offer to anybody who visits your site.
Do not forget that the primary objective of anybody who is trying to construct a successful business online should always be to seek whatever opportunities are available for them to build their mailing list.
You should try to create as many different classified ad units as you can. Enhance the effectiveness of your ads by including attractive pictures wherever possible in order to make your ads stand out from the crowd.
