There are many sites that offer classified ads services for those who need to reach those who need to learn how to make money on the computer at home. Some are paid and some free. One of the biggest things is that many don’t allow affiliate offers or that sort of “business opportunity” in the jobs section. I can understand this to an extent. If people are looking for regular jobs where they show up to trade time for money, they don’t want an opportunity. They are likely to complain about spammy behavior. That being said, some sites have business opportunity sections where affiliates are still banned, and that makes no sense to me. An opportunity is an opportunity. Whatever happened to freedom? There’s clever ways to get around this. Don’t link to the affiliate offer directly. Actually, you should be building your brand and bringing them home to you anyway, or at least to your own squeeze page or offer.
The other thing is never be afraid to help educate others in what you have learned the hard way. I prefer MLM so I don’t see myself in competition with my prospects. Join my team and let’s make it together. Why compete? The knowledge that I am relaying should have real value to you. Also, if you join under one of my MLMs then we are teammates and I further help you which helps me. It’s a win win for everyone. I much prefer that to the backstabbing mentality which is a karma loser anyway.
Back to ads. Craigslist is huge but kind of unfriendly to internet marketers these days. There are others, but you have to be careful what section that you post in, or be very creative so as not to break the rules. A list is here but check them out individually since they have different terms and not all may be great places for internet marketers. The point is that there are alternatives to the huge site. (but it’s on the list anyway) The traffic that you can direct from these ads can help determine in your mind how to earn money from website hits. Once you see the hits and some signups from the ads, you’re making progress. While paid ads would be a way to use money to make money, there are lots of free classified ads sites out there.
Also, some of these ad sites have affiliates of their own, so your classified ad can get duplicated elsewhere and more eyes see it that way.
