Free Classified Ads

By Alex Wu

If you wanted to go into business before, you had to find a storefront, rent it, clean it up and stock it, and then of course you had to take out advertising. The web is a beautiful thing because now in order to have your own business, all you need is a connection and a computer. Pretty much everything else you need to get going is free, especially the advertising as you can take advantage of free classified ads and drive traffic to your site at no cost.

I am sure there are many doubters out there as normally you would never believe when someone wants you to believe that you are going to get something for nothing, but in this case, it is actually true. All you have to do is a Google search and you will find that there are more than 10,000,000 sites out there that would just love to put your information out on the web for free.

Using free classified ads to make money is being exploited by everyone and there mother right now. The beauty of the whole thing is that you actually don't even need to be selling a service or a product to make money this way. You can use the classified ads as a way to generate traffic to a site that will lead to income!

Like you, everybody in the world likes to make money. When you are looking to make money online what do you do? You type in 'how to make money online' into a search engine and you get about a bazillion hits. Look at how many of those hits are on free classified ads, pretty impressive stuff isn't it. Now you are going to create a social page or blog talking about this thing or the next. These are called niche blogs and once you have one, you actually have a business going.

On this site, you have advertising that has been paid for on a monthly basis and you are driving traffic to your site that is now creating a higher rate that you can charge to the advertisers. You are also going to have affiliate links posted on your site that will generate money each and every time someone clicks on one of them and opens up an account or spends money. What have you sold? Nothing, yet you are creating income.

If you actually have a business it is even better. Not only are you going to be selling your product but you are going to have all of this other stuff going on as well. This will actually enable you to absolutely saturate the market with free ads as you can list what you are selling and also whatever each advertisement on your site is for. The object is to drive as many people as possible to your site so that you either sell your stuff or they click on one of the links and buy something off of one of the sites that you are affiliated with. Regardless, it is a win/win situation.

Regardless of what you are trying to accomplish, you are going to want to make sure that your keywords are as accurate and precise as they can be. This is what the search engines thrive on and what will get you to the top of their lists. The search engines on these free sites work the same way. Without having something that is what the common person will type in, you are hurting yourself.

We could go on all day about ways to use free classified ads to your advantage and to make a ton of cash but these are only a few. The possibilities are endless in making this tool work for you. You can either choose to sit on your couch and work for the man or get into the game yourself and start making some money!
