What are Some Websites You Can Use to Sell Your Stuff for Free?

In short, the goal of advertising is to get the best results possible while spending as little money as possible. In a perfect world, all advertising would be free – well maybe that would not be perfect for marketing and ad companies…

All kidding aside, there are plenty of places you can advertise for free, but let’s not forget the whole point of advertising: to sell stuff.

If your advertising methods don’t sell any of your products or services, they aren’t good methods – even if they are free.

There are a few important factors to consider when looking for places you can advertise for free, because you don’t want to waste a lot of your time getting no results.

First, you want to make sure that people are actually seeing your ads. As we all know, there are plenty of websites on the internet that receive no traffic – no matter how pretty they are. If your product listings don’t get seen by anyone, who is going to buy your stuff?

Second, you need to have the right market see your ads. Don’t go trying to advertise hair bows to men or baby bottles to teenage boys. You may be better off having your ads on those pretty websites that no one sees.

And third, it’s a good idea to have the people viewing your ads be “buyers” and not just “lookers”. Some people go online to browse, check prices or comparison shop – or simply get information. You want to go where the buyers are. Get more information.
