Earn An Income on Free Classified Ads

I am always shocked when I hear people say that you cannot make a legitimate living online. There are already so many who are doing so. So just how do these masters of buy and sell seem to pull of the amazing when it comes to buying and selling goods on free classified sites online?

Purchasing Seasonally

Although not everyone may have the capital to invest in goods seasons ahead of time, if you do, this is one surefire way of buying low and selling high to make a reasonable profit. Purchasing summer goods during winter months when homeowners are trying to clean out or prepare their own homes for a new spring is the best way to grab products like camping equipment, summer wear, fishing gear, and any other items that become high on demand lists come spring time again.

Trending Sales

Many who specialize in specific areas such as trading and selling video games or sports cards understand that there are up and down trends in their markets. Watching the free classified ad sites for bargains may net this type of seller an amazing jackpot if they find an item selling at a much lower price than it should be due to recent changes in trends.

Refurbishing Items

If you have a particular skill with refurbishing computers, televisions, or any other electronics, you can find a particularly good business by watching the free classified sites for those selling dirt cheap, or even giving away electronics that no longer work. These minimal investments can pay off big with the right know-how.

Online Classified Ads – Where does this leave print advertising, especially newspapers?

Posted on by

In my last post, I mentioned “Where does this leave print advertising, especially newspapers?” Well, there is a report by a consulting firm estimating Craigslist’s revenue will top $100 million for 2009.

Undoubtedly, this will add more pressure to print advertising revenues. It is no surprise and expect the trend to continue for print, especially in a flagging economy. Everyone likes free or very close to it.

With Craigslist traffic numbers, they could substantially grow revenues but its founder, Mr. Craig Newmark, and CEO, Mr. Jim Buckmaster have made it well-known that they are conservative in growing revenues.

How much more can the classified ads space grow? Frankly speaking, I think this space has a lot more growth potential left.

I received this article from Peter of www.mykidscloset.com and it mentioned that online classified advertising use is up — substantially. Frankly speaking, I am not surprised as many people around the globe are becoming familiar with the Internet. So what is the biggest draw to classified ad sites? It is something that everyone can afford — they are FREE. The vast majority of them offer free classified ads. The biggest player in the classified ad space is the venerable Craigslist. Here is their staggering traffic numbers for last month via compete.com — 53 million unique visits and 447 million total visits.

Where does this leave print ads, especially newspapers?

At any rate, here is the article by Pew Internet: classified ad use is up.

Always use Caution When Meeting Someone via Classified Ads

Posted on by
Reply

Lately, there has been a lot in the press about adult type classified ad postings. This type of advertising is usually acceptable as long as it is within the TOS, legal and not used for predatory purposes. In theory, that sounds obvious and logical. However, the truth of the matter is there are scum-bags/psychos (criminals) in the general population who will exploit the classifieds for illicit and predatory purposes. 

So I strongly recommend that if you plan on meeting someone via the classifieds, you should bring a friend and always meet in a public setting. After all, you do not know this someone. Be alert!

FreeAdLists.com Starts Tweeting With Twitter

I have decided to use Twitter to communicate (tweet) some of the new changes going on with FreeAdLists.com. If you haven’t noticed lately, we have been revamping the website. The homepage has consolidated  a bit — less categories — not a zillion of them anymore. No more scrolling marquee for “Featured Ads”.  Now “Featured Ads” are shown two at time and in highlighted boxes.

I hope the readers and posters will find these improvements useful. More are coming…stay tuned.

And by the way, I might also include a ramble or two. I like doing that.
