Let’s wish the new owner good luck and many visitors!

You need to let the people hear about your business, know what you do and why you are better than others.

There are many ways for promoting your business online and one of them is through classifieds.

You can post classifieds very easy and mostly free to many websites.
The are general classifieds websites, there are niche or local classifieds. There are also niche forums that have a classifieds section where you can post your ads.

Step 1: Writing the classified ad
Your classified ad should be simple to read and understand and short enough not to be boring and long enough to offer readers the needed information about you.
You should not focus on general information about your business, you should better focus on products or services you offer, even if you need to write more than 1 ad.

Offer good contact information and identify yourself.

Also, do not forget to add images and video, if the website allows, if not at least post links to images or video.

Step 2: Where to post it
This depends very much on what is your business about.
You should make a list of websites that you update at least every 3 months.
The list should have:

  • general classifieds websites (world wide and regional / local)
  • niche classifieds websites (world wide and regional / local)
  • forums that have classifieds sections

Search Google, ask your friends, ask on Twitter and build your list. Then post your classifieds on those websites, it doesn’t matter if the website is big or small, what matters is that some of those visitors can become your clients.

Step 3: Measuring results
Always include a link in your classifieds.
The link should go directly to your website, on a page related to what you wrote in the classified (ensure, in this way, the relevancy of the link).

You can use, then, Google Analytics to track referrals for your website, you can even group the websites from the list and, in this way, see the results of the whole classifieds campaign.

Promoting your business through classifieds can only bring you good results, either big or small, but can never harm your business.

A new year, a new challenge.

For 2010 I want more discipline in everything I do, I want to get involved in less projects but I want to do more for each one.
I will try to give more to the people around me, family or people I work with, and I will expect more from them.
I will not expect people to do the right thing; I’ll just get sure they do.
As for online projects: I have a few surprises for this year, stay close, you’’ like it.

I wish you a happy new year, full of good things and I wish you to fulfill your wildest dreams.

Some might say it’s the wrong project to work on :) , some might say it’s worth to try.
I’m talking about RunClassifieds.com , a new classified ads website that’s live starting today.

Let me tell you a few words about this project:

  • you can add in the image gallery as many images as you want
  • you can choose from a wide variety of categories and also you can choose the country, state/region and city for your ad

Where do I want to go with this project? I’m going to explore the social classifieds market and this project will be developed in this direction. More details on the next release :)

I started writing on this blog because I have the feeling that there is a lot of information and advices that I could share with you and it would be a waste to keep it only for the Romanian market.

I’ve been writing until now about various subjects, covering from concept development for online projects to managing an existing project.

Here I will write about the four stages of an online project: concept development, planning, implementation and management.

I hope you’ll enjoy the articles you’ll find here and I promise I’ll always keep a high quality standard with what I write.
