Free or Low Cost Advertising


When marketing your business, it may go without saying that you should take advantage of all the “free” marketing that is available. However, some business owners and marketers don’t always think of this and if they do, they don’t do so on a regular basis. Here are a few places to submit your advertising with an easy retrieval system for repeat submissions.
Compose your content in a word document and save it for future use. You can also edit it and use it for other advertising venues with just a little “tweaking”. Remember that you ad needs to be “relevant” to the readers of where you are advertising.
Also, you should set up a system so you’ll be able to easily resubmit your ad when it expires.
Many of these ad options are for copy only; meaning that there is no artwork involved. But if you submit photos have those in a file on your computer for easy access an upload. Title and save your photos with meaningful “keywords” so when you are submitting them for an online ad, the search engines, and thereby the right audience of viewers will find you.
You may have used these two sources that I will list here, but be sure that you setup a schedule to resubmit and create and submit new ads. www.craigslist.org  and http://www.backpage.com/ are the two places online for submitting free ads. They work! You may need to experiment with your ad copy over time, but you will see results. These two places work so well that there are books out there on how to master this revenue source.
I know that I have readers from all over the USA here, but I do offer a few options to those who live in my local area; I use these places myself: Reader magazine offers free classifieds and www.twinportslife.com offers both a free business listing (charges a minimal fee to link it to a website) and currently offers your display ad free on the site for up to 3 months.
You should also do a Google search using keywords such as: free classifieds, free online classifieds, free classifieds (your city name here), etc.
Good luck!
